Easy Wallet Expands in South Korea With Up to 30% Cash Back to Court Young Travelers

3 reports · First detected 2026-03-04 · Last active 2026-06-04

EasyCard Corporation has expanded its overseas cross-border payments business through Easy Wallet in recent years, bringing the electronic payment service widely used in Taiwan to travel settings in South Korea. Users can pay directly by phone, reducing the inconvenience of exchanging currency and carrying cash. South Korea is a popular destination among young Taiwanese travelers, and transaction growth has become an important gauge of the company’s cross-border expansion.

Two months after Easy Wallet launched cross-border payments in South Korea, its average daily transaction value in February 2026 was more than 80% higher than in the previous period. Starting in March 2026, EasyCard Corporation partnered with South Korean merchants supporting TWQR and Lotte Duty Free on promotions offering travelers up to 30% cash back on Easy Wallet purchases in the country, seeking to capture further cross-border spending during the peak summer travel season.
