The 'First Case' of Adding Bank Account as a Payment Method

KakaoBank announced on the 12th that its accounts have been added as a payment method for 'KakaoTalk Gift' and 'Shopping'. This is the first time that a bank account, rather than a bank transfer method, has been registered as a payment method for 'Gift' and 'Shopping'.


When registering a KakaoBank withdrawal account as a payment method at the product payment stage, payment is made immediately by simply pressing the payment button without any additional procedures. Customers without a KakaoBank account can sign up through the KakaoBank application (app) and then use the service.

Customers who pay with the account receive shopping points equivalent to 2% of the actual payment amount. These points can be used for one year from the date they are received. However, shopping points are not accumulated for certain products such as cash-equivalent gift certificates.



A KakaoBank official said, "We expect KakaoBank customers to use the Gift and Shopping services more easily and conveniently," and added, "We will continue to strengthen our platform capabilities to ensure that KakaoBank accounts and services can be utilized in more areas."
