Siheung City Launches Up to 20% Discount Event on Local Mobile Currency "Siru"
7-10% Discount When Charging
Additional 7-10% Discount at Payment
Siheung City in Gyeonggi Province will hold the "Sirupangpang Day" event, offering up to a 20% discount on the local mobile currency "Siru" to boost the local economy.
Starting from August 29 to 31, and continuing on the last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of each month until December, this event will provide a 7-10% discount when charging mobile "Siru," and an additional 7-10% discount when making payments at affiliated stores.
The city has allocated a total budget of 1.5 billion won for the event, which will continue each month until the monthly budget is exhausted. The discount applies only to the mobile version of "Siru."
During the first event from August 29 to 31, users will receive a total benefit of 14%, combining a 7% charging discount and a 7% usage discount. From September to December, the maximum discount will increase to 20%, with a 10% charging discount and a 10% usage discount.
Users can receive a deduction equal to the charging discount rate when using the charged local currency during the event period. For example, if a user charges 100,000 won worth of Siru at a 10% discount for 90,000 won and then spends 100,000 won at an affiliated store, only 90,000 won will be deducted, reflecting the 10% discount.
