Photo: Chaimhunter / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 4.0 [Seoul Metropolitan Government](https://giftcard.news/organization/seoul-metropolitan-government/) has published a [Shinhan Bank](https://giftcard.news/company/shinhan-bank/) certificate showing KRW137,898,427,281 across 16 voucher-linked and other prepaid accounts at June 30\. The city posted the disclosure October 2; the bank issued the certificate October 1\. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The largest listed position is KRW124,699,816,438 for personal SeoulPay metropolitan vouchers. The report is a snapshot of balances, not a measure of voucher sales during the period or the amount spent by recipients. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) ## Selected voucher accounts within a mixed total Show data tableHide data table Scroll left or right to see all columns __Selected voucher accounts within a mixed total__ | Certificate account | Balance at June 30, KRW | | --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Personal SeoulPay metropolitan vouchers | 124,699,816,438 | | Corporate metropolitan vouchers | 3,262,047,024 | | Delivery Plus vouchers | 1,464,073,151 | | Total across all 16 listed prepaid categories | 137,898,427,281 | The data behind the story ### Selected voucher balances at the same reporting date Three separately identified voucher accounts in the Shinhan Bank certificate at June 30, 2026. KRW balance KRW balance Tap or hover for details. All values are also available in the data table. Source Original published observations A selected subset of the certificate, not the entire 16-account total. Balances do not measure sales or redemptions. The large personal SeoulPay account makes the other balances visually smaller; the data table retains the exact amounts. Show data tableHide data table Scroll left or right to see all columns __Selected voucher balances at the same reporting date (KRW balance)__ | Category | KRW balance | | --------------------------------------- | --------------------------- | | Personal SeoulPay metropolitan vouchers | 124,699,816,438 KRW balance | | Corporate metropolitan vouchers | 3,262,047,024 KRW balance | | Delivery Plus vouchers | 1,464,073,151 KRW balance | The selected voucher rows do not exhaust the certificate. Other entries include health-programme funds, disability bus-fare refunds, interest settlement and additional prepaid categories. The combined total should therefore not be described as retail gift-card principal alone. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) ## What the certificate does and does not establish The city presents the posting as a periodic disclosure of voucher operating funds. The certificate identifies account balances and the date to which they relate; it does not provide a previous-period comparison or a complete matching liability denominator. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The certificate also separates Wrist Doctor 9988 health-programme funds, disability bus-fare refunds and Seoul Kids Cafe Money. These named balances illustrate why the combined figure covers more than ordinary retail gift-card principal. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1) The data behind the story ### Other programme funds sit alongside voucher accounts Selected additional accounts in the same June 30 certificate; each bar retains its programme identity. KRW balance KRW balance Tap or hover for details. All values are also available in the data table. Source Original published observations Selected account balances with different programme purposes, using the same currency and date. They are not a single retail gift-card category or a measure of programme participation, and are not the full remainder of the certificate. No liability denominator or earlier-period comparator is supplied. Show data tableHide data table Scroll left or right to see all columns __Other programme funds sit alongside voucher accounts (KRW balance)__ | Category | KRW balance | | --------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Wrist Doctor 9988 | 2,472,357,071 KRW balance | | Disability bus-fare refunds | 17,310,897 KRW balance | | Seoul Kids Cafe Money | 4,041,657,367 KRW balance | The reviewed disclosure consequently does not establish growth in sales, full coverage of outstanding obligations, independent audit assurance or the amount held in October. Those claims would require evidence beyond this balance certificate. Photograph: Chaimhunter / Wikimedia Commons, April 7, 2021, under CC BY-SA 4.0. Archival geographic context, resized and cropped.
