Naver Financial Launches 'Pay App' Specialized in Offline Payment and Ordering

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Naver Financial launched the Naver Pay application (app) on the 9th, which allows users to conveniently receive information about nearby stores and benefits, and is specialized for offline payments and ordering.

Since November last year, Naver Financial has provided a seamless payment experience by allowing points earned online to be used at offline affiliated stores through the Naver app. Along with this, the newly released Naver Pay app offers faster and easier offline payments, point and membership accumulation, as well as personalized information about nearby stores and benefits.

With the Naver Pay app, users can easily make payments, accumulate membership points, use coupons, and place orders without a wallet. Offline payment methods will be expanded from the existing PayPoint to cards in the future.

Additionally, about 50 different memberships from various industries such as Happy Point, Hyundai Oilbank, L Point, CU, and GS Point can be easily managed. In particular, at CU and GS25 convenience stores, users can make payments and automatically accumulate points simultaneously during on-site payments.

The order menu in the Naver Pay app features easy access to frequently visited stores, recently ordered menus, finding new stores, and even checking the preparation status after ordering. The smart order feature allows users to select menus and make payments at the table by simply scanning a QR code. Users can also view various on-site payment benefits such as paybacks and menu discounts at nearby stores at a glance.

Furthermore, the app includes ▲‘Assets,’ which provides a comprehensive view of scattered financial information such as bank accounts, securities, cards, loans, income, and expenses, and ▲‘Remittance,’ which offers unlimited free transfers per month, greatly enhancing user convenience.

Choi Jin-woo, head of Naver Pay, stated, “With the launch of the Naver Pay app and the addition of credit card payment functionality, we have gathered all user-centered features to allow the online Naver Pay experience to be enjoyed offline as well. We will further advance the simpler and safer Naver Pay app to continue offering personalized benefit recommendations to users and strive to make it an app that users are satisfied with in their daily lives.”
