South Korea is an East Asian country which lies in the southern part of Korean peninsula. The country has an estimated population of over 51 million and the capital city of South Korea is Seoul. South Korea is one of the developed economies with high income and has one of the highest Human Development Index. Internet and smart phone penetration here grew rapidly after the Korean war and is one of the highest in the world.  Global payments revenue has been increasing in multi-fold despite many disruptions in the market. As customers have become more and more comfortable with swiping cards and paying through mobile phones, the digitalisation of transaction industry is also expected to give way to its infrastructural development. Studies show that online frauds were increasing at an alarming rate in South Korea but the issue has been tackled with various preventive regulations and is encouraging the payments ecosystem to grow at a fast rate. The traditional digital payment methods in South Korea have been replaced with new players whose services are user friendly and diverse.

South Korea uses debit cards primarily for the transactions due to governmental regulations and higher tax reductions for using debit cards. The country faces an increase in household debt, thus the government is encouraging the use of debt-free instruments like debit cards and other prepaid cards. Various new players like Samsung have disrupted the payment market and given rise to various new alternate options. Financial cards in South Korea are expected to grow strongly in terms of volume of transactions, number of cards and the total number of transactions. Government’s initiatives like Coinless Society Project to reduce the cash dependency in the economy will further create a favourable environment for the payments market.
