I don't understand your post.

"closest Nonghyup Bank (With money Exchange) to Incheon Airport?"

There are no banks "to" any airport. However, most banks are represented at airports and you should be able to find a teller to exchange money.

"After leaving Korea, my former school deposited $ in my account"
"Fortunately I have a 8 hour layover in Seoul Monday"

Then you haven't left Korea.

"By the way should I close my account?"

You should have thought of this before not really leaving Korea. What you do or should have done around March 10 is go to a KEB bank, open up an account with internet banking. Then, go to Nonghyup, transfer all funds to your KEB account. Close Nonghyup account.

Then you could just go to your FINAL destination, turn on a computer and transfer when you want. If you are really really really truly and sincerely LEAVING Korea, then why have a bank account in the first place? Just send the money home.

These are things you need to think of BEFORE you book flights, not after.

Yes, there is a NH kiosk/branch at Incheon airport.

Why is this even a post? Why does it even have to be a NH Bank? I just don't understand this.

1. Google this information.

2. If you can't find it online you have 8 hours in the airport. You've obviously traveled and should know that every airport in the world has at least one an ATM, money exchange counter or bank branch in the airport somewhere.

3. As long as you have an international debit card you can withdrawal your money anywhere in the world. You don't have to limit it to the NH Bank or even in Korea.

4. You now ask if you should close your account - why didn't you close it before you left? You said the money put into your account was a surprise. I guess your lack of thinking worked out this time. By the way it doesn't matter if you keep the account open or closed.

5. I suggest that if you can't find a NH ATM to just withdrawal your money from any ATM and then go to any exchange counter right after and change it. I doubt that it's a lot of money since you didn't know it was coming.

I still can't believe that this type of information has to be asked for. Good luck!!

Just pull your money out using any ATM's in Korea including one in the airport. I'm not sure about daily limits, but you can withdraw cash and change it where I withdrew 1 million a day until my account only had 8,000 won. If more than $2000 worth, change the excess in city locations who don't record it in passport since they want to see your ARC only. This allows you to not have to show pay statements to verify legitimate earnings since pay statements are non existent in some schools as I experienced where asking just subjected me to more co-teacher hostility with no pay statements ever produced for me and another NET.

There's one ATM in the airport I know of which is located back center in the large check in area upstairs.
