KT Integrates 'Baedal Teukgeup' Delivery Service with Gimpo Pay

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT announced on the 31st that it will support the launch of Gyeonggi Province's public delivery application 'Baedal Teukgeup' in Gimpo City in collaboration with Gimpo City.

Baedal Teukgeup is a public delivery app operated by Gyeonggi Province Corporation, and Gimpo City's Baedal Teukgeup is the seventh service within Gyeonggi Province. Unlike existing delivery apps, there are no advertising fees, and the brokerage commission is only 1%, reducing the commission burden on small business owners. Users can receive up to a 15% discount when using local currency.

KT linked Gimpo Pay, a QR payment-based Good Pay service, with Baedal Teukgeup. QR payment has the advantage of being more secure than paper or card payment methods and can be done with just a smartphone. Users can connect to Baedal Teukgeup within the Gimpo Pay app and then place orders, make payments, and request delivery.

KT will hold a lottery for users who make payments with Gimpo Pay on Baedal Teukgeup two or more times by the 30th of next month, offering prizes worth approximately 20 million KRW, including Samsung Electronics wireless vacuum cleaners, Dyson Airwrap stylers, and Apple iPads.

Kim Jong-cheol, Head of KT Blockchain Business Center (Executive Director), said, “KT Good Pay is launching delivery linkage service on Gimpo Pay for the second time following Ulsan Paydal in Ulsan City,” adding, “KT will continue to contribute to building a healthy local economic ecosystem through blockchain-based local currency services as a digital platform company.”
