Overview
Payment group: Cards (debit & credit)Payment product ID: 187
Shinhan Card is a local South Korean card brand supported on our platform. In general, many issued cards are co-branded with Visa and Mastercard for cross-border transactions. However, when people shop online with local businesses, they prefer using cards issued by local banks.
We're enabling you to offer the local experience for South Korean consumers. It means consumers will use the card brands that they are used to and that are not enabled for cross-border processing: around 50% of the cards in South Korea are not co-branded, available on the local network.
