Sang-ik Lee County Governor "Expecting Regional Economic Revitalization and Household Burden Relief"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong County has launched the ‘Hampyeong Sarang Card,’ a card-type local currency following the paper voucher format.

On the 31st, the county announced that to enhance user convenience by providing various payment methods and to revitalize the local economy, they have added a card voucher issuance format in addition to the existing paper and mobile vouchers.

The ‘Hampyeong Sarang Card’ is an app-rechargeable check card. Card issuance can be done through the smartphone app ‘Jiyeok Sangpumgwon chak’ or by visiting local Nonghyup, Saemaeul Geumgo, Shinhan Credit Union, and Gwangju Bank (issuance at Gwangju Bank will be available from November 30).

To recharge the card, users can purchase within the smartphone app ‘Jiyeok Sangpumgwon chak’ or visit local Nonghyup, Saemaeul Geumgo, Shinhan Credit Union, or Gwangju Bank.

Users who have difficulty using smartphones or apps can receive issuance and recharging services at local Nonghyup, Saemaeul Geumgo, Shinhan Credit Union, and Gwangju Bank. Even without installing the app, card balance and payment amounts can be notified via text message or KakaoTalk.

The monthly discount purchase limit per person is 400,000 KRW, which is applied as an integrated limit with mobile vouchers.

County Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “With the launch of the Hampyeong Sarang Card, we hope the circulation of local vouchers will be further activated,” and added, “Currently, a 10% discount is being offered to individuals, so we hope many residents use it to help ease the household economic burden during the Chuseok holiday.”
