SEOUL, South Korea, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GLN International (CEO Suk Lee, "GLN") 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.

Travelers visiting Japan can withdraw local currency using the QR cash withdrawal service through seven GLN-connected apps— Kakao Pay, Toss, Purple GLN, Hana OneQ, KB Star Banking, Hana Money, and Hana Pay—at Seven Bank ATMs nationwide, including in 7-Eleven convenience stores and airports. In addition, QR payments are also available at a wide range of merchants, including convenience stores, clothing retailers, and health and beauty stores.

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.

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.
