Bucheon City to Boost Youth Commercial District Consumption with 5% Local Currency Post-Cashback

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province will launch the ‘Youth Commercial District Consumption Reward (Post-Cashback)’ pilot project from September 18 to October 5 to encourage young people to use local currency (Bucheon Pay) and to boost consumption in youth-oriented commercial districts.

The initiative is designed to invigorate local commercial districts and increase young people’s use of these areas by utilizing the social contribution funds of the local currency operating agency.

The cashback event will be held at participating merchants located near Bucheon University and within the Bucheon Il-ro Alley Commercial District. Participating merchants can be identified via the QR code on the event posters. Customers who pay with Bucheon Pay at these merchants will receive a 5% cashback on their total transaction amount.

The cashback amount is capped at a maximum of 10,000 won per person during the event period, and it can be checked on the Gyeonggi Local Currency app. The credited cashback can be used for payments with Bucheon Pay until November 30. Any unused cashback after this date will automatically expire.

An official from Bucheon City said, “We hope this program helps young people become more familiar with Bucheon Pay and encourages them to visit local commercial districts,” adding, “We plan to continue implementing practical policies that support local businesses by encouraging consumption through local currency.”
