SSG Pay "SSG Money Gift Usage Triples"

Expansion of Contactless Culture, Gift Giving Using Mobile Phones Gains Attention
SSG Money Gifting, Possible with Just a Mobile Phone Number

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Recently, as untact culture spreads even to holiday gifts, gifts using mobile phones are gaining attention. SSG Pay's 'SSG Money Gift' allows gifting without face-to-face contact, using only the recipient's mobile phone number.

According to SSG Pay on the 18th, the number of uses of 'SSG Money Gift' this month ahead of this year's Chuseok increased by 229% compared to last year's Chuseok season, more than tripling. The number of users also increased by about 81%, nearly doubling.

This is analyzed to be because the hassle of having to go out to buy gifts only during holidays has been resolved, and especially due to the demand for non-face-to-face holiday celebrations amid the COVID-19 impact this year, 'SSG Money Gift' has been actively used as it allows easy and convenient delivery of holiday gifts to family, relatives, and grateful individuals.

Meanwhile, with the integration of SSG.com and SSG Pay last June, SSG.com's own mileage 'S Money' and 'S Pocket' were unified into 'SSG Money.' The existing accumulation methods, such as converting Shinsegae gift certificates, Shinsegae points, and card points into SSG Money or charging with cash or card, have been diversified. Now, SSG Money can also be earned by writing product reviews after shopping on SSG.com or purchasing eligible products.
