Global Payment Services

edit

BC Card is a leading company in the Korean card industry and is growing into a global payment company. In 2008, when it established a local subsidiary in China, it launched a partnership with China Union, a Chinese credit card company, and launched the "China Series Card."[1] Currently, BC Card is in charge of buying tickets (inbound) of foreign-issued Union Card in South Korea, so if you use a Union Card issued in China, the buyer will be stamped with BC Card on the receipt.

Scope of use

edit

BC cards are mainly accepted in South Korea, but since all currently issued cards are dual-label cards, they can be used globally through the network of another card organization.

In mainland China, only Shanghai Pudong Development Bank’s teller machines can accept all types of BC cards directly through the BC card network.
