Chungnam Launches Nation's First 'Bohun Card'... "Enhancing Compensation and Courtesy for National Veterans"

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province has launched the first-ever Veterans Card in the nation.

On the 20th, the province announced the launch of the "Strong Chungnam Veterans Card" to enhance compensation and respect for national veterans residing in the region.

The Veterans Card was one of the proposals that emerged during a meeting in July between Chungnam Governor Kim Tae-heum and local veterans organization leaders.

Through proactive administration, the province signed an agreement with NH Nonghyup Bank Chungnam Headquarters within about three months to establish the foundation for launching the Veterans Card.

The Veterans Card can be applied for by visiting NH Nonghyup Bank or local agricultural and livestock cooperative branches. Applicants must bring an ID card along with a national veterans registration card or a national merit certificate, and a bankbook that can verify veterans' allowances when visiting the branch.

Users of the Veterans Card receive a 5% discount when shopping at large marts such as local Hanaro Mart, E-Mart, Homeplus, and Lotte Mart.

Additionally, benefits apply when using fuel stations, online shopping, cafes, convenience stores, delivery apps, movie theaters, public transportation, amusement parks, and more.

Discount benefits are provided when the previous month's spending exceeds 300,000 KRW, and the monthly integrated discount limit increases as the previous month's spending increases.

Governor Kim Tae-heum of Chungnam said, "I hope the issuance of the Veterans Card becomes a starting point to repay the local veterans who sacrificed for the country," adding, "The province will continue to do its best in honoring and respecting national veterans."
