SME Welfare Platform 'BokjiPoint' Service Launches: "Use Like Cash"

Ministry of SMEs and Startups-KCCI, Various Benefits for Outstanding Utilization Companies

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] A welfare point service that can be used like cash will newly start on the 'Small and Medium Enterprise Welfare Platform,' which is used by 170,000 people.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry announced on the 29th that they will launch a welfare point payment and management service that can be used on the Small and Medium Enterprise Welfare Platform.

The Small and Medium Enterprise Welfare Platform was launched in September 2019. It has received a positive response as users can purchase products from large company welfare malls and partner companies without any separate membership or usage fees.

The welfare platform has steadily increased its subscribers and currently has 170,000 SME workers and 13,000 SMEs registered.

Going forward, even micro SMEs will be able to provide welfare points that can be used like cash to their employees through the welfare platform, and utilize them in various ways such as incentives for outstanding employees or long-term employees.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry plan to certify SMEs as excellent welfare platform users and provide various benefits if they pay welfare points of more than 350,000 KRW per person annually to at least 30% of their total employees.

To use welfare points, SMEs need to access the Small and Medium Enterprise Welfare Platform website, log in as a company administrator, and use the 'Point Application Management' menu.

To be certified as an excellent user company, after paying welfare points according to the certification conditions, companies must submit an application form through the 'Excellent User Company Application Management' menu.
