GS25 Opens Seoul Child Meal Card Online Payment System... "Expanding Nationwide"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS25 announced on the 20th that it has launched an online payment system for the Seoul Child Meal Card (Kkum Namu Card) on its exclusive application (app) "My Own Refrigerator."

The Seoul Child Meal Card online payment system, introduced for the first time nationwide, is a service jointly launched by GS25, the Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Shinhan Card to address the stigma associated with face-to-face use of the child meal card by children suffering from food insecurity and the issue of desired products being out of stock.

GS25 applied a 20% discount on food items available for order through the child meal card online payment system to minimize the price burden on children facing food insecurity amid recent inflation. Additionally, starting from the 28th, GS25 will introduce nutritious lunchboxes for these children. Developed with advice from nutrition experts, the lunchboxes consist of high-nutrition multigrain rice and side dishes beneficial for growing children.

GS25 is also focusing on expanding the child meal card online payment system nationwide. It is currently in discussions with many local governments and plans to complete these talks as quickly as possible to provide benefits to as many children facing food insecurity as possible.

A GS Retail official stated, “We will expedite the nationwide expansion of the child meal card online payment system so that many children facing food insecurity can enjoy its benefits and grow up healthily. We will also do our best to fulfill our corporate social responsibility by proactively seeking various support measures for socially vulnerable groups, as demonstrated in this case.”
