International tuition fees in Korea can be paid via Zalopay

DNVN - ZION Joint Stock Company, the operator of the Zalopay payment application, has just officially announced its cooperation with two financial and technological partners, Danal and Shinhan, to deploy international tuition payment services in Korea.

Through Zalopay or VietQR applications, users can conveniently pay tuition fees without having to go through complicated international money transfer procedures. The service is expected to be deployed from the end of July, during the peak time for autumn tuition payments at Korean schools.

In recent years, Korea has continued to be a popular study abroad destination for Vietnamese students. According to the Korean Ministryof Education , as of April 2024, the number of Vietnamese students studying at Korean universities and language training centers reached 56,000, accounting for 26.8% of the total number of international students, second only to China.

Parents are currently facing some inconveniences when paying tuition fees such as complicated procedures, long processing times or additional costs. Some schools require students to have a bank account in Korea, which can be confusing at first when they are not familiar with the way things work in a new environment.

To solve the inconvenience of paying international tuition fees, Zalopay cooperated with Danal and Shinhan Bank to deploy a payment solution in Korea. Parents can easily pay tuition fees through the Danal payment gateway by scanning the VietQR code - a payment QR code provided by Zalopay, compatible with most banking applications and e-wallets in Vietnam - or pay directly using the Zalopay application. Not only saving time, the solution also helps parents and students reduce complicated procedures by not having to directly handle foreign currency or go through other service organizations.

In the initial implementation phase, more than 96 universities in Korea will apply international tuition payment via Danal and Shinhan Bank. Integrating Zalopay into the system promises to promote strong service development, expanding the scope of service to more users in the near future.
