- Help is available on email, phone and chat, including phone and chat
Cons

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Hanpass transfer cost?+
The transfer fee is free or up to KRW 0 to KRW 5,000 depending on the country you send to, and there are no intermediary or receiving fees charged on the other end. The figure for your corridor appears before you confirm a transfer.
How fast is money delivered?+
Hanpass puts average delivery at About 3 minutes on average. That figure is an average, so it works as a guide rather than a guarantee for a particular send, and the payout route you choose affects how the recipient collects the money.
How do I get help if a transfer goes wrong?+
Support runs on email, phone and chat, so you can reach the team by email or phone, use live chat, or search the help centre first. Phone and email suit transfers that need tracing rather than quick questions.
Can a recipient collect cash instead of a bank transfer?+
Payouts cover bank, cash pickup and wallet. Cash pickup suits someone without a local bank account, a wallet payout is quick for a recipient already using an app, and a bank payout suits regular payment schedules.
Which countries can I send to?+
Hanpass documents remittance routes from South Korea to specific overseas markets, including the Philippines, where payouts go to bank, cash pickup and wallet. Coverage works corridor by corridor rather than worldwide, so confirm your destination is served first.
Where is Hanpass based and who runs it?+
Hanpass is run by Hanpass Co., Ltd., founded in 2013 and based in South Korea. Support for any account or transfer question runs on email, phone and chat, which is what a sender outside the market has to rely on.
How do Hanpass fees compare with the other options?+
Hanpass charges free up to KRW 0 to KRW 5,000 depending on the country. PayPal Colombia takes no fee on balance or linked bank funding and a percentage on international sends, Skrill is free on bank transfers and charges on card funding, and Paysera is free in euro to SEPA and Paysera users.
