Credit Cards in South Korea

Credit card companies in South Korea have been cutting back on interest-free instalment services in response to prolonged high interest rates and concerns over declining profitability. Eight major credit card companies - Shinhan, Samsung, Hyundai, KB Kookmin, Lotte, Hana, Woori, and BC Card - have reduced their interest-free instalment period to a maximum of five months. This is a sharp decline, as these benefits were previously available for up to 12 months.
