[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Korea Minting and Security Printing Corporation (KOMSCO) is partnering with the Korea Post to launch a card-type local gift certificate service.

On the 20th, KOMSCO announced that its President Cho Yong-man and Korea Post Director Park Jong-seok met at the Korea Post headquarters in Sejong City to sign a business agreement for providing the "card-type local gift certificate" service.

The related service will be available from the end of this month, and those who need to issue a Korea Post local gift certificate card can apply through the KOMSCO app "Chak" or by visiting a nearby post office.

KOMSCO expects that by adding Korea Post cards in addition to existing credit cards, the convenience for local gift certificate users will be enhanced.

Previously, KOMSCO has been providing local governments with services that integrate management of paper-type, mobile (QR code-type), and card-type local gift certificates along with purchase limits.

KOMSCO, which supplies paper local gift certificates nationwide, started mobile local gift certificate services to 19 local governments beginning last year with Siheung City and Seongnam City, and this year provides card-type gift certificate services to five local governments including Naju City. The company plans to expand the service to about 20 local governments by the end of the year.
