hello everyone!!

Is everyone having a good summer vacation? There must be many people planning a trip to Korea during vacation! Today, we introduce "WOWPASS", which is useful for traveling in Korea!

WHAT IS WOWPASS

In Korea, credit card payments are the most common these days, and there are many shops and restaurants that only accept credit cards. When using a credit card abroad, you must be worried about fees and exchange rates! "WOWPASS" is a prepaid card exclusively for foreign travelers, and can be used for card payments anywhere, including restaurants, cafes, taxis, hospitals and shopping malls.

In particular, this WOWPASS also has a T-money transportation card function, so you can use transportation with just one card. With WOWPASS, you no longer need to carry cash and can enjoy your trip without the inconvenience of payment.

Get WOWPASS issued

Issuing a WOWPASS card is also simple. WOWPASS devices are installed at Incheon/Gimhae airports, subway stations and large hotels. First scan your passport, authenticate it, and then get your card issued. For reference, the initial membership fee is 5,000 won, and the reissuance fee in case of card loss is 3,000 won. There is no fee for balance top-up or balance payment.

Card recharge and refund

The WOWPASS card has a maximum exchange limit of KRW 2 million per day and a maximum rechargeable balance of KRW 10 million per day for 7 days. You can charge your card in foreign currency, so you can charge it without having to exchange foreign money daily.

And with WOWPASS, you can also refund your balance. First, sign up for the WOWPASS mobile app and register your card for authentication. Then, enter the 8-digit PIM number displayed on the screen of the unmanned currency exchange machine into the mobile app. The withdrawal limit is 100,000 won at one time, and a withdrawal fee of 1,000 won is incurred. Refunds can only be made in Korean Won. Refunds in other currencies are not possible.

Other features

Currency exchange is also possible at this unmanned currency exchange machine. In particular, when exchanging money at a bank, the exchange rate or commission is often high, but this unmanned currency exchange machine allows you to exchange money at a low price.

Isn't WOWPASS so charming?! How about trying it out in Korea? Thank you for reading to the end today.
