Incheon e-eum Card, Easy Payment with Samsung Pay Starting from the 14th
The local currency of Incheon, the 'e-eum Card (Incheon Sarang Gift Certificate),' will be available for mobile payment starting from the 14th.
On the 11th, Incheon City announced the launch of a mobile easy payment service that allows e-eum Card payments via Samsung Pay. By registering the e-eum Card on the Samsung Pay application, users can make immediate payments by simply tapping their card on the merchant's card terminal.
The city expects that the introduction of this mobile easy payment service, reflecting changes in users' payment methods and consumption patterns, will make using the e-eum Card more convenient.
Until now, users had to carry a physical card to use the e-eum Card, which caused significant inconvenience. In response, Incheon City signed a business agreement with Samsung Electronics last month to introduce mobile easy payment and has been preparing for the service launch.
An official from Incheon City stated, "We have established an environment where the 2.41 million e-eum Card users can conveniently make mobile payments without a physical card. We will continue to strive to make it a sustainable local currency loved by small business owners and citizens alike."
