Shinhan Card Introduces Easy Payment Process for 'Seoul Pay+' Card

Introduction of a Process for Registering Shinhan Card on Seoul Pay Plus App for Instant Payment

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Shinhan Card announced on the 26th that it has introduced a card simple payment process to the Seoul Pay Plus application, a platform for purchasing and paying with Seoul Sarang Gift Certificates.

The Seoul Pay Plus card simple payment allows users to pre-register their Shinhan Card (credit or debit) on the app for payment when purchasing Seoul Sarang Gift Certificates, enabling immediate payment by card without a separate authentication process. By pre-registering a Shinhan Card under the user's name (personal card) in the payment card management menu of the Seoul Pay Plus app and selecting 'Simple Payment' as the purchase method at the gift certificate purchase stage, payment can be made instantly.

The newly introduced card simple payment process is expected to significantly enhance the convenience of card payments for customers purchasing gift certificates, in line with the issuance of Seoul Sarang Gift Certificates by each autonomous district of Seoul scheduled for early next month, according to the company.

Meanwhile, Shinhan Card plans to launch version 3.0 of Seoul Pay Plus in mid-next month. Seoul Pay Plus version 3.0 will provide merchant sales management, consumer pattern and sales analysis data utilizing Shinhan Card's big data capabilities, and will add services such as online payments for delivery apps and shopping malls, introduction of hot places in local commercial districts, AI chatbot consultation and talk consultation reservation system, and the opening of a PC version of Seoul Pay Plus. Additionally, it will offer an administrative platform service where users can check government subsidies and view Seoul city news.

In line with the introduction of the card simple payment process, Shinhan Card will also hold a cashback event for gift certificate purchasers. Customers who make their first purchase of Seoul Sarang Gift Certificates with Shinhan Card and pay 700,000 KRW or more will receive a 10,000 KRW cashback. Customers who have previously purchased gift certificates with Shinhan Card will also be entered into a draw where 100 winners will receive 100,000 KRW cashback.

A Shinhan Card official stated, "With the introduction of the card simple payment process and the launch of Seoul Pay Plus 3.0, we expect to improve payment convenience for users and merchants, while providing various additional services. We will continue to improve the Seoul Pay Plus platform to firmly establish it as the payment platform for Seoul citizens."
