ATM locations are based on available bank and map information. Individual ATM availability and international-card support may change. Please verify the ATM’s current status before use.

Finding a convenient ATM can be important when you need Korean Won during your Seoul trip. Use our Seoul Global ATM Finder to explore ATM locations near major tourist areas and subway stations, then check the ATM screen for the Global ATM or international-card symbol before withdrawing cash.

What Is a Global ATM?

A Global ATM is an ATM that provides, or may provide, services for cards issued outside South Korea.

Not every ATM in Seoul accepts foreign-issued cards. Look for Global ATM, Global Services, or an international card-network logo such as Visa, Mastercard, JCB, or UnionPay.

A card-network logo does not guarantee that every foreign card will work. Support can vary by ATM, bank, card network, and card issuer.

If your card is declined: Try another Global ATM or another bank. A decline at one machine does not necessarily mean that your card cannot be used in Korea.

How We Classify ATM Locations

“Global ATM” refers to machines or ATM areas identified by available location information as serving, or potentially serving, international-card users.

Individual ATM machines can be replaced, relocated, or reconfigured. For this reason, this finder does not guarantee that every machine will accept every foreign card.

Before inserting your card, look for the Global ATM / Global Services label and check whether your card-network logo is displayed on the machine.

Before Using an ATM

1. Find the ATM

Check the ATM address and the nearest subway station before walking to the machine.

2. Check the Machine

Look for Global ATM or Global Services.

3. Check Your Card Network

Look for Visa, Mastercard, JCB, UnionPay, or the network used by your card.

4. Check the Screen

Before confirming a withdrawal, review the amount, ATM fee, and currency-conversion options.

5. Finish Carefully

Take your card, cash, and receipt before leaving the ATM.

Korean ATM Screen Guide

How to Withdraw Korean Won with a Foreign Card

Using a Korean ATM can be confusing the first time. This guide explains common screens you may encounter when withdrawing Korean Won (KRW) with an overseas-issued debit or credit card.

Important: Korean ATM screens vary by bank, machine, location, card network, and language setting. The wording and order shown in this guide are examples of common transaction steps, not a guaranteed sequence for every ATM.

Step 1 — Select Your Language

You may see a language-selection screen such as:

SELECT LANGUAGE 한국어 ENGLISH 中文 日本語

Choose English if you want the ATM instructions in English. Some Global ATMs also provide Chinese, Japanese, or other languages, but language availability varies by machine.

Step 2 — Insert Your Card

The ATM may ask you to insert your card or may display an option related to a foreign-issued card.

INSERT CARD or FOREIGN CARD

The exact wording depends on the ATM. Insert your physical international card when instructed.

Do not assume that a Visa or Mastercard logo guarantees acceptance. Foreign-card acceptance can vary by ATM, bank, card network, and card issuer.

Step 3 — Choose Cash Withdrawal

A typical ATM menu may include options such as:

CASH WITHDRAWAL BALANCE INQUIRY TRANSFER OTHER SERVICES

Select Cash Withdrawal or Withdrawal. The exact menu name can vary.

Step 4 — Account Type

Some ATMs may display account or transaction-type choices such as:

CHECKING ACCOUNT SAVINGS ACCOUNT CREDIT OTHER

Not every ATM uses the same account options. The appropriate choice can depend on the card and the ATM’s processing system. If your card issuer provides instructions for overseas ATM withdrawals, follow those instructions.

Step 5 — Enter Your PIN

ENTER PIN _ _ _ _

Enter the PIN associated with your card. Cover the keypad while entering it and never allow a stranger to enter your PIN for you.

Step 6 — Enter the Withdrawal Amount

You may see preset amounts such as:

SELECT AMOUNT 50,000 KRW 100,000 KRW 300,000 KRW 500,000 KRW OTHER AMOUNT

Available amounts vary. The ATM may have a per-transaction limit, a daily limit, and denomination restrictions. Your card issuer may also have a separate overseas withdrawal limit.

If a large withdrawal is declined, try a smaller amount or another ATM.

Step 7 — Review the ATM Fee

Before completing the transaction, the ATM may show a service fee.

WITHDRAWAL Amount: ₩100,000 ATM Fee: ₩3,000 TOTAL

Review the displayed fee before continuing. The ATM fee shown on screen may not be the only cost. Your card issuer may separately charge an overseas ATM fee, foreign transaction fee, or other applicable cost.

Step 8 — Review Currency Conversion / DCC

This is one of the most important screens to read carefully.

You may see wording similar to:

CURRENCY CONVERSION KRW 100,000 OR USD 75.00

Or you may see:

CONTINUE WITH CONVERSION CONTINUE WITHOUT CONVERSION

Another ATM may display:

DEBIT IN USD DEBIT IN KRW

These are examples of currency-conversion or Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) choices. The exact wording varies by ATM.

Step 9 — Choose the Currency Carefully

The local currency in South Korea is KRW — Korean Won.

If the ATM asks whether you want the ATM to convert the transaction into your home currency, carefully review the choices before confirming.

Common choice:

If you want the transaction processed in the local currency, look for an option such as KRW / Korean Won, Charge in KRW, or Continue Without Conversion, when available.

The exchange rate offered by DCC may differ from the exchange rate that would otherwise be applied by your card network or card issuer. Choosing the local currency does not mean the transaction will be fee-free; your card issuer and the ATM operator may still charge fees.

Step 10 — Confirm the Transaction

You may see a final confirmation screen such as:

PLEASE CONFIRM Withdrawal: KRW 100,000 ATM Fee: KRW 3,000 Currency: KRW CONTINUE CANCEL

Before pressing Continue, check:

  • Withdrawal amount
  • Currency
  • ATM fee
  • Currency-conversion choice
  • Any additional information shown by the ATM

If something looks different from what you expected, cancel the transaction before confirming.

Step 11 — Wait for the ATM

PLEASE WAIT PROCESSING…

After confirmation, wait for the ATM to complete the transaction. Do not leave the machine while the transaction is processing.

Step 12 — Take Your Card

The ATM may return your card before or after dispensing cash. The order varies by machine.

Before leaving, check:
CARD → CASH → RECEIPT

Step 13 — Take Your Cash

The ATM will dispense Korean Won. Count the cash before leaving and make sure the amount matches the transaction.

Step 14 — Take the Receipt

If the ATM offers a receipt, consider taking it. Keep it until you have confirmed that the correct amount was dispensed and that your card account shows the expected transaction.

A receipt can be useful if the ATM dispenses an incorrect amount or if a transaction dispute occurs.

ATM Currency Conversion: KRW or Your Home Currency?

Do not automatically accept the ATM’s currency conversion.

If an ATM offers to convert your withdrawal into USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, or another home currency, read the screen carefully before confirming.

You may see choices such as:

  • Continue with KRW
  • Charge in KRW
  • Continue Without Conversion
  • Decline Conversion
  • Accept Conversion

The wording differs by ATM. If you want the transaction processed in the local currency, look for the KRW or no-conversion option when it is offered.

Remember: DCC and ATM fees are separate issues. Choosing KRW does not mean that the ATM or your card issuer will charge no fees.

ATM Fees in Seoul

There can be more than one type of cost when using an ATM with a foreign card.

1. Local ATM Fee

The Korean ATM operator may charge a fee for processing an international withdrawal. The amount can vary depending on the bank, ATM, card type, time, and transaction.

2. Your Home Bank’s Fee

Your own bank or card issuer may charge a separate international ATM withdrawal fee. Some card providers may also apply a foreign-exchange or foreign-transaction fee.

3. Exchange Rate

The exchange rate used for the transaction can affect the final amount you pay.

Important: Do not look only at the ATM’s displayed withdrawal fee. Consider the entire transaction, including the exchange rate and any fees charged by your card issuer.

ATM Withdrawal Limits

ATM withdrawal limits can vary depending on the bank, ATM, card issuer, and account.

  • Per-transaction limit
  • Daily limit
  • Monthly or account-level limit
  • Limit imposed by your own card issuer

If you need a large amount of cash, check the overseas withdrawal limit with your card issuer before traveling instead of assuming that any ATM will provide the amount you request.

For normal sightseeing expenses, many travelers will not need to withdraw a large amount at once.

Check Your Card Before Traveling

Before leaving for Korea, make sure your card is ready for international use.

International ATM Withdrawals

Make sure overseas cash withdrawals are enabled.

PIN

Know your card PIN before traveling.

Daily Withdrawal Limit

Check how much you can withdraw overseas.

Foreign Transaction Fees

Find out whether your bank charges an international ATM or foreign-transaction fee.

Travel and Security Controls

Check whether your card issuer has travel, overseas-use, or fraud-prevention settings that could affect an unusual international transaction.

What If Your Card Is Declined?

Do not panic if the first ATM does not work. A declined transaction can happen because the ATM does not support your card network, the ATM does not support foreign-issued cards, the requested amount is too high, your card issuer has restricted the transaction, or the machine has a temporary problem.

1.Look for a Global ATM

Check for the Global ATM or Global Services designation.

2.Check the Card Network

Look for the Visa, Mastercard, JCB, UnionPay, or other supported network logo.

3.Try Another ATM

Different ATMs can have different foreign-card capabilities.

4.Try Another Bank

A different Korean bank may process the same card successfully.

5.Try a Smaller Amount

If a large withdrawal fails, try a smaller amount.

6.Check Your Card Settings

Confirm that overseas ATM withdrawals are enabled and that you have not reached your limit.

A declined transaction at one machine does not necessarily mean your card cannot be used in Korea.

Do You Need Cash in Seoul?

South Korea is a highly card-friendly country, and many restaurants, cafés, hotels, stores, taxis, and shopping areas accept international cards.

However, carrying some Korean Won can still be useful for:

  • Traditional markets
  • Some street-food vendors
  • Small independent shops
  • Small purchases
  • Certain transportation situations
  • Unexpected situations
  • Businesses experiencing temporary card-terminal problems

You generally do not need to carry a large amount of cash. A reasonable amount of Korean Won for small purchases can be useful while keeping most spending on a card.

A Smart ATM Strategy for Seoul

  1. Carry a small amount of Korean Won.
    This gives you cash for small purchases and unexpected situations.
  2. Use your card where convenient.
    Cards are widely accepted throughout Seoul.
  3. Find a Global ATM when you need additional cash.
    Look for the Global ATM or Global Services designation.
  4. Check the fees before confirming.
    Review the ATM’s displayed fee and transaction details.
  5. Review the currency-conversion option.
    If DCC is offered, read the KRW and conversion choices carefully.

    A receipt can help you check the transaction later or resolve a problem with your card issuer.

ATM Safety Tips

  • Use ATMs in well-lit, busy locations whenever possible.
  • Be aware of people around you when entering your PIN.
  • Cover the keypad when entering your PIN.
  • Take your card and cash before leaving the ATM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I withdraw Korean Won with a foreign card?

Yes, some ATMs in Seoul accept foreign-issued debit and credit cards. Look for Global ATM or Global Services machines and check whether your card network is supported.

Do all ATMs in Seoul accept Visa and Mastercard?

No. International-card acceptance can vary by ATM and bank. A Visa or Mastercard logo does not necessarily guarantee that every foreign-issued card will work.

How do I find a Global ATM in Seoul?

Use the Seoul Global ATM Finder above to search by area, bank, address, or subway station. Then check the machine for the Global ATM or Global Services designation before inserting your card.

Are ATMs in Seoul open 24 hours?

Some are, but not all. ATMs inside bank branches may have restricted access, while some standalone machines operate 24 hours. Always check the listed operating hours.

Should I choose KRW or my home currency?

If the ATM offers DCC, many travelers choose KRW / Korean Won rather than accepting the ATM’s currency conversion. Read the exact wording on the screen because the available choices vary by machine.

Are Korean ATMs free?

Not necessarily. The Korean ATM operator may charge a fee, and your own bank or card issuer may also charge an international withdrawal or foreign-exchange fee.

What if my card does not work?

Try another Global ATM or another bank. Different ATMs can support different card types, and a declined transaction at one machine does not necessarily mean your card cannot be used in Korea.

What should I do if an ATM keeps my card?

Do not leave the situation unresolved. Record the ATM location and contact the relevant bank or ATM operator as soon as possible. If necessary, also contact your card issuer.
