Shinhan Card Expands Mobile Statements... Aiming to Reduce Up to 65 Tons of Carbon Emissions Annually

No Worries About Lost Mail and Enhanced Personal Information Protection

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Shinhan Card is taking steps to reduce annual carbon emissions by up to 65 tons, equivalent to the carbon absorption of 10,000 trees over one year, through the expansion of simple mobile statements.

On the 13th, Shinhan Card announced that it will double the server capacity for 'mobile card usage statements' in connection with Shinhan Financial Group's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy. This is to reduce carbon emissions by cutting down on paper statement issuance. With this expansion, a system capable of sending up to 1.8 million simple mobile statements per month will be established.

In particular, the simple mobile statements are sent as images of paper statements via text messages to customers who find it difficult to install or use mobile applications such as Shinhan Payfan and My Bill & Pay. This allows customers who are not proficient in app usage to conveniently check their statements through mobile phones, minimizing the digital blind spots.

This server expansion is part of ESG management aligned with the 'Zero Carbon Drive,' the group's mid- to long-term eco-friendly strategy, which Shinhan Financial Group was the first East Asian financial group to declare.

Along with environmental protection, customer convenience is also considered by providing various types of mobile statements, including simple mobile statements, Shinhan Payfan, and My Bill & Pay. Mobile statements have the advantage of eliminating concerns about lost mail and enhancing personal information protection since only the customer can access them.

To promote the use of mobile statements, Shinhan Card is holding an event until the 31st of this month, offering prizes to customers who switch from paper statements to mobile statements. Customers are automatically entered into the draw by simply applying for the statement change within the period, without separate event participation. Prizes include an LG Whisen Stand Air Conditioner (1 winner), Paseco Window Air Conditioner (2 winners), LG PuriCare Air Purifier (3 winners), and a Starbucks Iced Americano voucher (1 per person for 500 winners).
