Naver Pay
Naver Pay was launched in 2015 by South Korea’s top internet company, Naver Corporation.
Customers register their card or bank account details with the service, then use the card wallet to pay online without having to enter or reveal sensitive account information.
The importance of supporting alternative payment methods and locally preferred payments in South Korea is evident when you consider that just 64% of consumers there have a credit card.
Other e-wallets operating in South Korea include BitPay, HyperWallet, PaySera and 123.
