GS25 Launches Credit Payment Transportation Card... "Recharge at Stores, Pay Everywhere"

On the 6th, a model at the convenience store GS25 is introducing the 3rd generation transportation card, the 'Kingjeong Card'.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] GS25 announced on the 6th that it will exclusively introduce the third-generation transportation card called the ‘Credit Payment Transportation Card’.

This transportation card includes one type of ‘Kingjeong Card’ exclusively operated by GS25 and two types of ‘Loca Mobility Card’ operated by Cashbee. The existing first-generation transportation cards could only be recharged and used at transportation card affiliated stores, and refunds for remaining balances were not available if the card was lost. The second-generation transportation cards integrated transportation card functions into credit or debit cards, but required preparing necessary documents and visiting a bank to issue the card, causing inconvenience. To address these issues, the third-generation transportation card, the Credit Payment Transportation Card, has been introduced.

The Credit Payment Transportation Card can be easily and conveniently recharged and used anytime at transportation card usage locations without any separate registration process after purchase, and it can also be used at all credit card acceptance points nationwide. Additionally, income deduction is automatically applied during payment like a credit card, and for the first time among prepaid cards, balance inquiry and refund processing are possible through the card number if the transportation card is lost.

A GS Retail official stated, “This Credit Payment Transportation Card is a customer-friendly product that complements the inconveniences of existing transportation cards and advances them to the next level,” adding, “We will continue to discover more convenient and highly valuable service products to lead distribution service trends.”
