CU adds nine payment options for SEA customers

This came as CU saw its foreign customers rising back to pre-pandemic levels.

South Korean convenience store chain CU will add nine payment options, to cater mainly to customers from Southeast Asian countries, Yonhap reported.

The new payment options, which are set to begin next month, include Hong Kong's AlipayHK, the Philippines' GCash, Malaysia's Touch'n Go, Indonesia's digital wallet Dana and Thailand's TrueMoney, the company said.

Currently, CU accepts three international payment options—China's Alipay, Wechat Pay and UnionPay.

The expansion in payment options comes as South Korea expects a rise in foreign tourists as the country is gradually moving toward pre-pandemic normalcy. CU said its stores are seeing the number of foreign customers gradually recover to pre-pandemic levels.
