KONA Local Community Platform provides the best local currency service
to revitalize the local economy.
It can prevent the outflow of capital to outside regions, which not only stimulates local consumption, but also has the effect of circulating the local economy.
KONA I operates card-type local currency platforms of 56 local governments across the country, including Incheon e-EUM, the first card-type local currency in Korea.
As the payment and benefits are available only within the region, it naturally leads to increased sales for small businesses in the region.
Since the KONA Local Community Platform is compatible with the existing payment infrastructure, affiliate stores can use it as it is without the need to change the payment infrastructure.
The app offers benefits such as message sending, discounts, cashbacks, coupons, and e-shopping malls to residents using local currency, maximizing the promotional effect of affiliated stores.
Each local government offers its own benefits, and each franchise offers a variety of discounts/cashback benefits, so users will benefit more than using general credit or check cards.
It provides users with real benefits through a 30% tax deduction rate higher than a regular credit card.
Anyone aged 14 or older can apply for non-face-to-face card issuance through the mobile app, and can check the details of simple charging and use in real time.
