[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Shinhan Card announced on the 14th that it has launched the private label credit card (PLCC) 'Weverse Shinhan Card' in collaboration with Weverse Company, a subsidiary of HYBE.

This card is a product designed for the fandoms of artists featured on the global fan commerce platform 'Weverse Shop.' It consists of four types of cards for four HYBE Labels artists: BTS, Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together, and Enhypen, with both credit and check card applications available for each.

In particular, the main payment card plate of the Weverse Shinhan Card features images symbolizing the artists and their fandoms. The special relationships between each artist and their fans?BTS and ARMY, Seventeen and Carat, Tomorrow X Together and MOA, Enhypen and ENGENE?are expressed through symbolic designs. Technologies such as DOE, 3D lenticular, and holograms are incorporated to add novelty, revealing hidden fandom logos when light shines on them and changing images depending on the viewing angle.

The Weverse Shinhan credit card comes with a collectible photo plate featuring each artist's image by default, while the check card allows photo plate issuance for a fee of 15,000 KRW. Additionally, credit card holders can request an extra photo plate made of metal material, with a separate issuance fee of 100,000 KRW.

After issuance, the Weverse Shinhan Card is automatically registered for easy payment on Weverse Shop, and it offers both Weverse Shop cash accumulation services and lifestyle area accumulation services. With an integrated limit applied, depending on the previous month's usage amount, credit cards can earn up to 70,000 KRW per month and check cards up to 30,000 KRW per month in Weverse Shop cash, which can be used within Weverse Shop.

First, for purchases on Weverse Shop, where official artist merchandise (goods) can be bought, credit cards earn a basic 4% Weverse Shop cash back, and check cards earn 2%.

The lifestyle accumulation service is also tailored to areas mainly used by fandoms, offering 10% Weverse Shop cash back for credit cards and 5% for check cards at lifestyle-affiliated merchants. These merchants include digital content providers (Netflix, YouTube Premium, Watcha, Melon, Genie Music), public transportation (bus, subway), online shopping malls (Coupang, SSG, Gmarket, 11st, Ticketlink), coffee and bakery shops (Starbucks, Blue Bottle, Paul Bassett, Paris Baguette, Tous Les Jours), and H&B and convenience stores (Olive Young, GS25, CU).

Additionally, a separate discount service is provided for payments at the Museum Shop within HYBE Insight, offering 50% off for credit cards and 25% off for check cards. Especially for credit cards, a special gift service provides official merchandise (goods) worth approximately 15,000 KRW selected by Weverse once a year. In the first year of card issuance, the special gift service includes a photo plate of the selected artist. Furthermore, credit cards issued under the international (Amex) brand also receive Amex Platinum services.

The annual fee for credit cards is 35,000 KRW for both international (Amex) and domestic-only cards, while check cards have no annual fee. Applications for the Weverse Shinhan Card can be made through the Weverse Shop application after registering as a member of Weverse Shop.

To commemorate the launch, Shinhan Card is also conducting various customer events. Customers who enter the event will be entered into a draw where 20 first-place winners will receive artist-autographed albums, and 400 second-place winners will receive artist logo card wallets. Additionally, among customers who issue metal photo plates and collectible photo plates, 1,000 will be randomly selected to receive partial support for the issuance fee.
