On the 4th, Woori Bank announced that it has prepared this event to enhance convenience for Samsung Wallet Money and Samsung Wallet Point users. Launched in October last year, Samsung Wallet Money and Samsung Wallet Point are easy payment services available on Samsung Galaxy smartphones, allowing users to make payments simply by linking a bank account or topping up a virtual account, without separately registering a card. The services surpassed 1.5 million subscribers within three months of launch, and have been drawing attention as inclusive financial services, as minors and foreign residents in Korea can sign up without visiting a bank branch or going through complicated authentication procedures.


The event, which runs until the end of April 2026, mainly offers an immediate accrual of 10,000 Samsung Wallet Points to customers who newly open a "Samsung Wallet Money Woori Account," register it as their primary payment account, and complete their first payment.


Payment benefits have also been strengthened. Woori Bank has designated every Saturday as "Wallet Day." Customers who have registered this account as their primary payment account and make payments on Saturdays will receive point rewards of 11% for online payments and 10% for offline payments. On other days of the week, they can still receive 6% for online payments and 5% for offline payments.

The "Samsung Wallet Money Woori Account," which is available to the first 200,000 subscribers, is a Samsung Wallet-exclusive transaction account that offers an interest rate of up to 3.5% per annum within a limit of 2 million won. Recently, the subscription channels have been expanded beyond Samsung Wallet to include Woori Bank branches and the Woori WON Banking app, improving accessibility.



Nam Moonhee, Deputy General Manager of the Retail Product Marketing Department at Woori Bank, said, "We have significantly enhanced the point accrual rate so that customers can feel tangible benefits in their everyday payments," adding, "We will continue to introduce innovative services that combine daily finance with easy payment."
