Naju Sarang Gift Certificates, '10% Discount Sale' Extended Until Next Month

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 26th that it will extend the sales period of the local currency ‘Naju Sarang Gift Certificate 10% Discount’ until next month.

The city originally planned to apply the 10% discount only until this month, but decided to extend it to revitalize the stagnant local economy due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

The gift certificates can be purchased up to a limit of 700,000 KRW per month (per individual) at 54 designated financial institutions including NH Nonghyup Bank Naju Branch, local Nonghyup banks, credit unions, Saemaeul Geumgo, and Gwangju Bank.

The Naju Sarang Card, launched in September last year to complement the drawbacks of paper gift certificates, allows users to purchase and recharge at a 10% discounted rate through the dedicated app (CHAK).

Mayor Kang In-gyu said, “Although the financial situation is not easy, we extended the discount sales period of the gift certificates to overcome COVID-19 and support small business owners,” and added, “We will strive to secure national funding to continue the annual 10% discount to promote good consumption based on sharing and solidarity.”
