Hana Bank's subsidiary, GLN International, is expanding its overseas QR withdrawal service in Japan, Vietnam, and Laos. This enhancement allows users of major domestic financial and platform apps to withdraw local currency without the need for currency exchange.
The expansion focuses on the Japanese market, increasing the number of partner app channels from three to seven. Notably, KakaoPay, which enjoys high usage rates in Japan's mobile payment sector, has been added to the list of domestic partner apps.
As a result, travelers to Japan can now access QR withdrawal services through not only Hana OneQ, Hana Money, and Toss apps but also Hana Pay, KakaoPay, Purple GLN, and KB Star Banking apps. Withdrawals can be made at Seven-Eleven convenience store ATMs and Seven Bank ATMs located in airports throughout Japan. QR payments are also accepted at various merchants, including convenience stores, clothing shops, and health and beauty stores.
In Vietnam and Laos, users can access QR withdrawal services through six apps: Hana OneQ, Hana Money, Hana Pay, Toss, Purple GLN, and KB Star Banking. In Vietnam, local currency can be withdrawn at BIDV Bank ATMs, while in Laos, withdrawals can be made at BCEL Bank ATMs.
Lee Seok, CEO of GLN, stated, "With the expansion of the QR withdrawal service in Japan, Vietnam, and Laos, more customers can enjoy cash withdrawal services abroad using familiar domestic apps without inconvenience. We will continue to lead the way in providing a simple withdrawal experience for travelers without the need for currency exchange or physical cards."
