Great card for foreigners
If foreigners use a foreign credit card in South Korea, it will be much more expensive due to the low exchange rate.
For international students with a student visa, there is a “check card” issued by the bank, but you won’t get a check card unless you create a bank account.
Foreigners have difficulty opening an account without an alien registration card or college certificate, so it is difficult for foreign students to have a check card immediately after entering South Korea.
