KakaoBank Launches Pre-Notification Service for Second Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon

Second Application Information Available from September 15

KakaoBank will provide a pre-notification service starting September 15, ahead of the application period for the "Second Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon," which begins on September 22.

The notification service allows users to check the application schedule, eligibility criteria, payment amount, and usage locations. In particular, it accurately informs each customer of their eligible application day according to the "five-day system based on birth year" implemented during the first week. For example, customers whose birth year ends with 1 or 6 can apply on Monday, September 22, while those whose birth year ends with 2 or 7 can apply on Tuesday, September 23. The interface has been designed to make this information clear.

The "Second Consumption Coupon" provides 100,000 won per person to all citizens except for the top 10% income bracket. Customers who have a KakaoBank check card can easily apply through the KakaoBank App, and after applying, the issued consumption coupon can be used with any KakaoBank check card the customer owns.

Usage history and remaining balance can be checked in real time through the app. Payments made with the consumption coupon are also recognized as check card usage, allowing customers to receive cashback and income deduction benefits. Notably, KakaoBank check cards offer 0.2% cashback on domestic and overseas merchant transactions with no prior monthly spending or limit requirements, and the rate doubles to 0.4% on weekends and public holidays.

On September 15, the results of the "Special Consumption Coupon" will also be announced. As part of the "Consumption Coupon Joint Marketing" conducted by the Credit Finance Association, this event awards up to 50,000 won in additional coupons by lottery to customers who used all of their first consumption coupons by the end of August. Winners will be notified individually via text message. All consumption coupons, including this one, must be used by November 30. Any unused balance after the deadline will be automatically forfeited.

KakaoBank stated, "We are honored to participate in the operation of this 'Livelihood Recovery Consumption Coupon.' We will do our utmost to ensure the smooth use of the coupons so they can contribute to revitalizing the local economy and boosting domestic demand."
