Extra Travel Tips
• Mix Cash & Card – South Korea is highly card-friendly in urban areas, but rural shops, street markets, and temple stalls may prefer cash. Keep coins handy for small purchases like snacks or transit fares.
• Use KRW, Not AUD – Always pay in Korean Won (₩) to avoid poor exchange rates and hidden conversion fees. Local currency ensures smoother transactions and better value.
• Watch ATM Fees – Some foreign cards attract withdrawal charges. For reliable access and clearer fee structures, use ATMs at post offices, 7-Eleven, or major banks.
• Leftover Won After Your Trip? – Danesh Exchange offers a secure buy-back service for unused South Korean Won. It’s simple, transparent, and designed to give you great value on your return.
