[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City is launching a pilot delivery platform service utilizing the local currency Ontong Daejeon. The official opening is scheduled for early next year.


According to the city on the 18th, the Ontong Daejeon delivery platform is a public-private partnership fair model project that applies a brokerage fee of less than 2% by using existing private apps.


This platform's strengths lie in allowing consumers to receive delivery services using local currency and reducing the commission burden on small business owners.


Earlier in October, the city selected ▲Manna Planet (Bureusim app) ▲Honey Biz (Ddingdong app) ▲Air New (Whiparam app) as participating businesses.


Recently, the city designated the ‘Bureusim app’ as the pilot service operator and decided to operate the related service until the end of this month. The Bureusim app is currently connected to the Ontong Daejeon direct payment system and has secured more than 500 affiliated stores.


After the pilot operation period, the Bureusim app is scheduled to officially open in January next year. During the pilot operation period, an event to expand citizen participation will provide a 3,000 KRW discount coupon to the first 1,000 users.



To use the app, users must download the related program by searching for Bureusim (Ontong Daejeon) on the Ontong Daejeon app or Play Store. The city plans to support IOS from the point when app review is completed to expedite project promotion.
