What's Zero Pay?
Zero Pay is a mobile payment service created through a partnership between the Korean government and private companies. It’s becoming an increasingly popular payment option, especially among foreign tourists. With Zero Pay, you can simply scan a QR code at the store to complete your payment without any complicated steps. The payment goes directly to the store’s account, allowing small business owners to avoid credit card fees. That’s why more stores are adopting Zero Pay. You can easily find it in popular tourist spots like Seoul, Busan, and Jeju!
Zero Pay also offers plenty of benefits for consumers. When you pay with Zero Pay, you can get a tax deduction, and for those living in Korea, the deduction rate is 30%, which is higher than using credit cards. Additionally, you can purchase local gift certificates with Zero Pay at a 10–20% discount. These perks help you save on travel expenses even more!
Recently, payment services for foreign tourists visiting Korea have been expanding. Now, Zero Pay can be used with 17 different payment systems from countries like China, Singapore, the Philippines, Mongolia, Macau, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Thailand. For example, it’s compatible with services like UnionPay, PromptPay, and WeChat Pay, making it even more convenient!
