NOW

Tmoney Co. was established in 2003 as part of Seoul’s public-transport reform. Its work began with collecting fares and settling payments between transport operators, rather than creating a card specifically for visitors.

SETTLEMENT IS THE CORE

Alongside issuing prepaid cards, Tmoney operates automated fare-collection infrastructure and integrated transit settlement. It helps process payments across different transport operators.

THEN IT EXPANDED

The network later expanded beyond transport to retailers such as convenience stores, cinemas and pharmacies.
