Paying in Korea
- Cards are widely acceptedMost hotels, department stores and shops take Visa, Mastercard and American Express. A few small shops don’t, so check before you order.
- T-money tops up with cash onlyKorea’s transit card works like a Presto card, but foreign credit cards can’t top it up — keep some won for the station machine or the convenience-store counter.
- Where to exchangeUse a bank or a government-certified exchange booth (look for the “Certified” sign) and skip uncertified booths. Banks are generally open 09:00–16:00 on weekdays.
- ATMsATMs that take international cards carry a “Global” sign. Convenience-store ATMs often charge higher fees.
- No tippingTipping isn’t a Korean custom. Many major hotels and upscale restaurants add a 10% service charge instead.
