Expanding Mobile Payment Market - Banks and Credit Issuers woo 'Pay' Services

 

Expanding Mobile Payment Market: Banks and Credit Card Companies Woo 'Pay' Services

News from May 2024

The rapid growth of the mobile payment market has led financial institutions like banks and credit card companies to frequently collaborate with mobile payment companies. This trend is interpreted as a strategic move to attract new young customers and expand market share.

According to industry sources on the 26th, Kakao Pay, one of the mobile payment companies, is preparing new specialized deposit products with banks. A representative stated, "We are discussing the details and planning to launch them in the second half of the year."

In December of last year, Kakao Pay launched the 'Savings that Grow with Spending' product with Shinhan Bank. This product allows a set percentage of the payment amount to be automatically saved in a savings account each time a user makes a payment with Kakao Pay. It is a 6-month term product offering up to 4.5% annual interest.

A successful case of collaboration between a bank and a mobile payment company is the 'Naver Pay Money Hana Account,' which was launched in November 2022 and surpassed 500,000 accounts in six months. This product, approved for an additional 1 million accounts by the Financial Services Commission last year, has been sold as 'Season 2' since September. It allows users to store prepaid Naver Pay money in a Hana Bank account and offers up to 4% annual interest and up to 3% point benefits on purchases. Hana Bank effectively attracted many young new customers through this product.

There is also active cooperation with credit card companies. Since June of last year, Kakao Pay has partnered with several card companies to launch the 'KaPick' card series, which is exclusively available on Kakao Pay. The series includes Shinhan Card KaPick, Hana Card KaPick, and IBK KaPick, with additional products to be released in the second half of this year.

Since April, Naver Pay has been conducting joint marketing with Shinhan Card. When users make payments using Naver Pay with a Shinhan Card, they receive additional point benefits. An industry representative explained, "Customers usually register 2-3 cards for mobile payment services, and card companies are keen to make their card the primary choice because being the main card significantly impacts the transaction volume."

The mobile payment market is growing rapidly. According to the Bank of Korea, the average daily transaction amount using mobile payment services last year was 875.5 billion KRW, approaching 900 billion KRW. This represents a 15% increase compared to the same period the previous year and a 44.4% increase compared to 2021. As mobile payment companies recently collaborated with Samsung Pay and Zero Pay, significantly increasing offline payment locations, the mobile payment market is expected to grow even further.

커지는 간편결제시장…은행·카드사의 '페이' 러브콜


간편결제시장이 급격히 성장하면서 은행·카드 등 금융사가 간편결제사인 '페이' 업체와 손잡는 일이 잦아지고 있다. 이는 젊은 고객을 신규 유치하고 시장 점유율을 확대하기 위한 전략으로 해석된다.

26일 관련업계에 따르면, 간편결제사 중 하나인 카카오페이는 최근 은행들과 새로운 예적금 특화 상품을 준비 중이다. 관계자는 "하반기 중에 출시할 예정으로 세부 내용을 논의하고 있다"고 밝혔다.

카카오페이는 지난해 12월 신한은행과 '쓸수록 모이는 소비적금' 상품을 출시했다. 카카오페이로 결제할 때마다 가입자가 설정한 일정 비율의 금액이 적금 계좌에 자동 저축되는 방식이다. 이 상품은 6개월 만기로, 최대 연 4.5%의 이자를 제공한다.

2022년 11월 출시된 '네이버페이 머니 하나 통장'은 6개월 만에 50만좌를 돌파한 성공 사례다. 이 상품은 지난해 금융위원회로부터 추가로 100만좌 승인을 받아 지난해 9월부터 시즌2를 판매 중이다. 네이버페이 머니를 하나은행 통장에 보관하고, 최대 연 4%의 금리와 결제 시 최대 3% 포인트 혜택을 받을 수 있는 상품이다. 하나은행은 이 상품을 통해 젊은 신규 고객을 대거 유입하는 효과를 보았다.

카드사와의 협력도 활발하다. 카카오페이는 지난해 6월부터 여러 카드사와 손잡고 카카오페이에서만 만날 수 있는 'KaPick'(카픽) 카드 시리즈를 출시했다. 신한카드 KaPick, 하나카드 KaPick, IBK KaPick 3종이 있으며, 올해 하반기 중 추가 상품이 출시될 예정이다.

네이버페이는 지난 4월부터 신한카드와 공동 마케팅을 진행 중이다. 네이버페이로 간편결제를 할 때 신한카드로 결제하면 포인트 혜택을 추가로 제공한다. 업계 관계자는 "고객들은 간편결제 서비스를 이용할 때 2~3장의 카드를 등록하는데, 카드사들은 자사의 카드가 원픽이 될 수 있도록 신경을 많이 쓰고 있다"며, "메인 카드 등록 여부가 결제액 증가에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문"이라고 설명했다.

간편결제시장은 폭풍 성장 중이다. 한국은행에 따르면 지난해 하루 평균 간편결제 서비스 이용액은 8,755억원으로 9,000억원에 육박한다. 전년 동기 대비 15% 증가했으며, 2021년과 비교하면 44.4% 증가한 수치다. 간편결제사들이 최근 삼성페이·제로페이 등과 연계하면서 오프라인 결제처를 대거 늘리고 있어 간편결제시장은 더욱 커질 전망이다.
