GLN International announced the expansion of its overseas QR cash withdrawal service channels across Japan, Vietnam, and Laos, enhancing convenience for international travelers.

A key highlight of this expansion is the increase in supported partner app channels in Japan. In particular, the addition of major domestic partner apps—including Kakao Pay, one of the most widely used mobile payment apps in Korea, also widely used by Korean travelers visiting Japan— is expected to significantly improve accessibility for travelers.

Travelers to Vietnam and Laos can also access the QR cash withdrawal service through six GLN-connected apps—Toss, Purple GLN, Hana OneQ, KB Star Banking, Hana Money, and Hana Pay. Withdrawals are available via BIDV ATMs in Vietnam and BCEL ATMs in Laos, allowing users to conveniently access local currency in each country.

Suk Lee, CEO of GLN, said, "With the expansion of QR cash withdrawal services across Japan, Vietnam, and Laos, more travelers can now conveniently withdraw cash overseas using familiar domestic apps. We will continue to lead in delivering simple withdrawal experiences that eliminate the need for currency exchange or physical cards."

As part of its broader global expansion, GLN has established partnerships with overseas financial platforms, including Moreta Pay (North America), DeCard App (Singapore), and Taishin Bank (Taiwan region), enabling local users to access cross-border QR payment services through their home-market apps.
