Why should the atm's have English? |
KB, when it was hauled up before the Korean supreme court for having too much English in its signs, defended itself saying they needed the English signage to aid their foreign investors. It would not seem a bad thing if a bank could deal in Korean and the language of international business.
So why English ATMs? Because they want lots of foreign investors to come to Korea and bring their families and deposit their salaries in Korean banks.
(BTW lots of ATMs in Toronto and Vancouver have Chinese service.) |

I'm always impressed by KT's English service. They speak better English than most tech support services back in North America. You get a real human being after like 20 seconds on hold. And they'll send out a truck that day to fix your problem. |
