Is it possible to use my Shinhan atm card outside of Korea?
Cheers,
Blade. |

| I wouldn't bank on any account you can open in Korea being an international one even though I heard rumors a KEB card can be used outside of Korea. Carry cash, travelers checks, and cards from home instead. I was smart to buy a bunch of dollars a month ago before the won took a nose dive. |

KEB works for sure but my employer insists on using Shinhan for paying my salary. I use internet banking but I really don't like the idea of installing Korean internet banking crapware on my computer.
Today, I heard a rumor from a work colleague that if I visit a particular branch of Shinhan in Seoul(she couldn't tell me which one) it would be possible to get issued an international atm card there. |

| I think the "Global" Shinhan branch is in the Seoul Finance Center near city hall. Info about it is on their website. |

You need to specifically get an international card. You will have to ask for one; because in all likely hood the one you got isn't international. It's not their default card. You may need to go in there and ask for one.
I lost my Shinhan card not too long ago and when I got it replaced they said that the one I had was not for international use and that if I wanted one to use globally I would need a different card. |

I went there yesterday and was basically told that unless I take out a shinhan credit card I can forget about using shinhan overseas. |
