Question 7

What are the differences between bank overseas remittance services and GME BIZ overseas payments?

Accepted Answer

Bank overseas remittance services require a visit to the bank, numerous documents for each remittance, expensive fees including remittance fee, intermediary bank fee, telegram fee, and receipt fee, and slow processing time of average 3-4 days via SWIFT. GME BIZ requires no bank visit and can be used anytime, anywhere. Documentation is simple with processing taking less than 5 minutes. The total fee is 5,000 KRW including all costs, and average processing time is real-time to within 36 hours.

Question 8

How do I cancel or request a refund for a payment?

Accepted Answer

If recipient information was entered incorrectly, the payment will not be processed and funds will return to GME BIZ. The payment is automatically canceled and the remaining amount, excluding fees, will be refunded. If funds are returned after the local bank processes the request, it may take at least 3-4 days. For internal processing issues, you can choose to proceed with the payment again or receive a full refund on the same day. Note that the exchange rate applied for re-exchange is the cash buying rate, and any loss due to exchange rate fluctuations is the customer's responsibility.

Question 9

Can I make payments on weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. However, depending on the receiving bank's circumstances, payments made on weekends may not be processed until the next business day.

Question 10

What are the service hours?

Accepted Answer

The GME BIZ overseas payment service is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
