[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Hana Card announced on the 9th that it has launched a limited edition '1Q Daily+' card featuring the design of South Korea's first credit card.


This year marks the 43rd anniversary since Korea Exchange Bank Card, the predecessor of Hana Card, signed a license agreement with Visa for credit card business in January 1978 and issued the country's first credit card in April of the same year. To commemorate this, Hana Card introduced a limited edition card applying the original credit card design.


This product, released for a limited time until the end of this month, retains the benefits of the existing Hana Card 1Q Daily+ card. Benefits include ▲0.3% to 1.0% Hana Money accumulation on usage amount without monthly spending or accumulation limits ▲Hana Money accumulation for online shopping, telecommunications, transportation, automatic transfers, and overseas use (up to 15,000 Hana Money per month) ▲Up to 6,000 KRW discount per month at SK gas stations ▲5,000 Hana Money accumulation when automatic transfer payments for apartment management fees or four major insurances exceed 100,000 KRW.


Additionally, to celebrate the launch of the limited edition design, customers who have not used a Hana credit card since February or who newly created a card and spent more than 100,000 KRW by the end of September can enter a draw to receive a Soundlook turntable.


This card can be applied for through the Hana Members application (app), and the annual fee is 12,000 KRW.



Lee Wan-geun, Head of Sales at Hana Card, said, "We hope this event provides an opportunity to own the first card design from 1978 and to feel the original value as it was."
