Seoul [South Korea], March 22 (ANI/WAM): The amount of payments made electronically in the Republic of Korea reached a record high last year, central bank data showed Thursday, as a growing number of people engaged in contact-free commerce.
The daily average amount of electronic financial transactions came to 959.4 billion won (USD 657.4 million) in 2024, up 9.6 per cent from a year earlier, according to the data from the Bank of Korea (BOK).
The reading marks the highest amount since the central bank began collecting data on electronic payments in 2007.
The daily average number of electronic financial transactions jumped 12.3 per cent on-year to 30.7 million in 2024.
Electronic financial transactions include all internet and mobile-based payments, as well as purchases made with electronic credit and debit cards. (ANI/WAM)
