[How It Works]
- NO ID CHECK. No app installation is required for pickup at a Woori Bank Exchange Counter or a MoneyBox Kiosk. Pick up your card and start paying right away.
- At a MoneyBox Kiosk, you can pick up your card, exchange foreign currency, and top up — all at one kiosk.
- CU store pickup requires installing the PAYCO app and registering the card before use, while cards picked up from a Woori Bank Exchange Counter or a MoneyBox Kiosk are ready to use immediately after topping up, with no registration needed.
- This one card covers it all: tap to ride the subway and bus, insert to pay at stores, cafés & restaurants, and even order K-food delivery to your hotel through YOGIYO or BAEMIN with the PAYCO app. All card payments are fee-free, with no extra charges at checkout.
- Top up your payment balance at Woori Bank ATMs, any CU store, or MoneyBox kiosks, and your transit balance at subway station machines or convenience stores. The two balances are managed separately.
※ As a launch benefit, download the PAYCO app to claim your welcome coupons.

④ Once registered, the card is ready to use.
※ If you picked up your card at a Woori Bank Exchange Counter or a MoneyBox Kiosk, it is ready to use immediately after topping up, with no registration required.
[My phone isn't recognizing the card via NFC. What should I do?]

※ Check your phone's manual for the exact NFC reader location.
[I lost my card. What should I do?]
Report it lost in the PAYCO app, then buy a new card and register it — your PAYCO balance carries over.
[How to report a lost card]
Open the PAYCO app → go to Card Management > Report Lost / Deactivate, and file the report.
※ Reporting it lost immediately suspends the card so no one else can use it.
※ Transit balance cannot be transferred if the card is lost.
[Can I transfer my lost card's balance to a new card?]
Yes. First, complete a lost-card report under Card Management > Report Lost / Deactivate. If you're logged out and haven't set up email sign-in, you won't be able to re-register a new card — make sure you're logged in before continuing.
[Steps]
