Coupang Pay focuses on delivering innovative payment and financial services solutions to everyone who uses the Coupang app — from customers buying products on Coupang.com, to marketplace vendors, and restaurants that offer their services via Coupang Eats. We develop solutions with our latest tech innovations to serve the growing needs of Coupang’s customers in Korea and Taiwan. This includes Coupay, an online wallet with a proprietary one-touch payment capability.
In particular, we are rapidly scaling the Wow credit card, a co-branded card that offers industry-leading rewards as part of our efforts to maximize customer values. For sellers, we are building out multiple liquidity options to help small and medium sized enterprises grow their business, using BaaS (Banking as a Service) capability.
