"Keep Your Card Number, Change the Design"…Hyundai Card Launches 'Card Number Retention Reissuance' Service

Limited to One Annual Purchase of the Same Product for Personal Credit Cards

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki Ha-young] Hyundai Card announced on the 8th that it will introduce the country's first "card number retention reissuance" service, allowing credit cards to be reissued without changing the card number.

Until now, when credit card customers reissued their cards, the card number changed, requiring them to re-register the card for regular payments such as apartment utility bills and simple payment services like Naver Pay and Samsung Pay. Missing registration caused inconveniences such as overdue utility bills, suspension of subscription services, and blocked overseas online transactions.

With this service, Hyundai Card customers can freely use Hyundai Card's unique card plate designs. Customers can experience various card designs without changing their card number.

This service can be applied for through the Hyundai Card application (app) or customer center. It is available to individual credit card members excluding corporate cards, check cards, and gift cards, and reissuance is possible for simple damages such as card scratches. However, in cases of loss or theft, the card number will be changed for secure card use.

The number of reissuances is limited to once per year and can only be reissued with the same card product as the existing card. For domestic and international dual-use cards, reissuance is only possible with the same international brand. The reissuance fee for a regular plate is 5,000 KRW, with the first reissuance fee waived. The reissuance fee for a metal plate is 100,000 KRW.

A Hyundai Card official stated, "We plan to launch a 'card number retention renewal' service early next year, which will allow the card number to be retained when renewing the same card after the expiration date."
