The most important thing when preparing for an overseas trip is travel expenses. Travel Wallet is a prepaid recharge card that, like a check card, allows you to recharge Korean Won with foreign currency at any time you want and use it as a card in your country.
You can withdraw cash and spend it, and upon returning from your trip, you can immediately refund the remaining balance in Korean Won. The advantage is that the overseas payment fee is 0%, the currency exchange fee is 0%, and 38 foreign currencies can be used.
