Danggeun Pay's in-person payment service has surpassed 300,000 merchants just one year after its launch.


On July 22, Danggeun, the company behind the mobile payment service, announced key achievements as it marks the first anniversary of its in-person payment service.


Danggeun Pay's in-person payment is a QR-based offline payment service available at various local stores, including convenience stores, cafes, and bakeries.


Since its launch in June 2025, the number of merchants accepting in-person payments has exceeded 300,000. As of June, the cumulative number of merchants that processed in-person payments has increased 12-fold compared to July 2025, when the service was first introduced. During the same period, the monthly transaction volume has grown more than six times, and the number of monthly payment transactions has increased nearly fourfold.


The use of Danggeun Points has also seen significant growth. Last month, the amount of Danggeun Points used for in-person payments surged 210 times compared to the early days of the service, while the number of transactions using these points increased 21 times.


A representative from Danggeun Pay stated, "In-person payments provide users with a more convenient payment experience in their neighborhoods, while also offering business owners new opportunities to connect with customers, allowing us to grow together."
