BC Card and Naver Pay Establish QR Payment at Hotel
Introduced at Sofitel Ambassador Seoul
On July 10, BC Card announced that it has partnered with Naver Pay (Npay) to establish QR payment infrastructure at Sofitel Ambassador Seoul, which is operated by KT Estate.
Customers visiting food and beverage outlets within Sofitel Ambassador Seoul can make payments using QR codes through BC Card's lifestyle finance platform 'Paybook' and the 'Npay' application.
After launching the app on their mobile phones, customers simply need to present the QR code generated during payment at the food and beverage facilities.
This implementation is an extension of the ongoing collaboration among BC Card, Npay, and KT Estate in the field of simple payment solutions.
Last year, the three companies introduced QR payment at Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun, which is also operated by KT Estate.
Looking ahead, they plan to expand QR payment infrastructure to other KT hotels, including Andaz Seoul Gangnam and Le Meridien Seoul Myeongdong.
To commemorate the establishment of this infrastructure, BC Card will hold a 'Paybook QR Payment 30% Discount Event' at food and beverage outlets within Sofitel Ambassador Seoul until August 31.
