Woori Bank to offer payment services for Chinese nationals

[THE INVESTOR] Woori Bank announced on Aug. 30 that it will roll out payment services in collaboration with China’s Lakala Payment.

Lakala Payment is one of China’s top three mobile payment service providers. Its services include online and mobile payment system using QR codes or payment URL.

According to Woori Bank, the services provided in collaboration with Lakala will enable Chinese nationals to make payments to medical institutions in South Korea more conveniently.

Until now, Chinese nationals making reservations with South Korea medical institutions had to use banking overseas transfer services.
