Hana Financial, "Now Accumulate Foreign Coins with Hana Members"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] If you find it difficult to deal with leftover foreign coins after traveling abroad, you can now visit H-PULSE in Hongdae, Seoul.

Hana Financial Group announced on the 22nd that it has launched the 'Foreign Coin Hana Money Accumulation Service' through the Hana Members application (app).

Hana Members, in collaboration with Cointrabbit, has installed a dedicated unmanned kiosk on the 2nd floor of the Hana Members Lounge at H-PULSE in Hongdae, Seoul, providing a service that exchanges leftover foreign coins from overseas trips into Hana Money, which can be used like cash.

The foreign coins eligible for exchange are from 10 countries: the United States, Eurozone, Japan, China, Canada, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Thailand. Korean won coins can also be used.

To use this service, users verify their ID at the kiosk, insert foreign coins, then press the ‘Foreign Coin Accumulation’ button on the Hana Members app. By scanning the generated barcode at the kiosk, users can easily accumulate Hana Money.

A representative from the Hana Members Membership Marketing Department stated, “The Foreign Coin Hana Money Accumulation Service was introduced to allow people to conveniently convert foreign coins that had been left unused at home due to difficulties in traveling abroad caused by COVID-19 into Hana Money. After this pilot installation, we plan to gradually expand the locations of the kiosks.”

Meanwhile, Hana Members, the first integrated membership service in the financial sector, allows users to use accumulated or charged Hana Money for financial products, ATM withdrawals and transfers to their accounts, conversion to partner points, and merchant payments, enabling usage just like cash.
