Whether you're heading to Seoul or another Korean city for leisure, study, or a business trip, it's worth sorting out your currency in advance. The South Korean won is used everywhere: on transport, in cafes, shops, and at markets. ATM24 can help you exchange dollars for KRW remotely - the manager will give you the rate and terms before the transfer. Relevant for anyone who regularly sends money to students or partners in Korea.

What to know about the South Korean won

The won is a large-denomination currency: 1 USD gets you several hundred, sometimes over a thousand won. That's not a sign of weakness - it's simply a historically established scale. The Bank of Korea manages monetary policy, and the won's rate against the dollar is floating. The won is closely tied to exports: Korea is the world's largest producer of semiconductors and automobiles, and demand for these products largely determines the rate. When global chip demand grows, the won strengthens. When the global economy slows, it weakens alongside other export-driven currencies.

Where and how you need won in Korea

Seoul has very well-developed card payment infrastructure - large shops, restaurants, and cafes accept cards everywhere. But for street food, markets (such as Namdaemun or Dongdaemun), small metro transactions, and tips, cash won is needed. Students and expats need won for rent and daily expenses. Business travelers need it to pay local contractors. ATM24 works with both profiles: a small tourist sum and a large regular transfer.

How ATM24 handles USD - KRW exchanges

Message a manager on WhatsApp or Telegram with the amount. You'll get the rate and terms before payment: once confirmed, the won amount is fixed and not revised. ATM24 works remotely - no need to visit anywhere in person. Options for receiving won are discussed individually depending on your location and that of the recipient.

USD/KRW rate factors: what to watch

Beyond the state of Korean exports, the won's rate is driven by global risk appetite and capital flows into Asian markets. During periods of market instability, investors move into the dollar - the won weakens alongside other Asian currencies. When markets stabilize, it recovers. If you're planning a large exchange, keep an eye on the broader backdrop: events like Fed tightening or US-China trade conflicts feed through to USD/KRW quickly.
