| Bank | Banks can offer some of the best exchange rates to travelers. Banking hours can vary. But most business hours are from 09:00 to 16:00. ATMs typically operate until 23:00. But many are open 24 hours. ATMs can also be found at convenience stores, but generally charge a higher transaction fee. ATMs that accept international cards are common. Especially in areas frequented by foreigners; look for ATMs with a “Global” sign or the logo of your bank. Global ATMs offer multi-languages. |
| Tax | Value-added tax (VAT) is levied on most goods and services at a standard rate of 10% and is included in the retail price. In tourist hotels, this 10% tax applies to meals and other services and is added into the bill. |
| Gratuities (Tipping) |
Tipping is not a traditional custom in Korea. A 10% service charge will be added to your bill at all tourist restaurants and hotels. It is also not necessary to tip a taxi driver unless he assists you with luggage or provides an extra service. |
| Electricity | In Korea, electrical outlets are operated at 220 volts only. Overseas delegates bringing laptop computers and other electrical appliances are advised to check whether a transformer is required. |
