Question 7

Are there reporting or tax obligations on money received in South Korea?

Accepted Answer

Any reporting obligations that apply on the recipient's side in South Korea are handled by our licensed payout partner there, which we have no direct control over. Kangaroo Service only works with licensed entities in every jurisdiction we operate in, so where a reporting obligation applies to your transfer, our payout partner will fulfil it as required.

Whether a particular transfer needs to be declared depends on your recipient's individual circumstances. For any taxation implications on either side of the transfer, we suggest you consult your accountant or tax adviser.

Question 8

What details do I need to send money to South Korea?

Accepted Answer

To send money to a bank account in South Korea, you'll typically need:

• Recipient's full name, as registered with their bank.
• Bank name, the receiving bank in South Korea.
• Account number, the recipient's account number at that bank.

Funds are paid out to the recipient's bank account. Please confirm the name, bank, and account number carefully with your recipient before sending, as the payout is delivered to the account details you provide.

If you're unsure about any of the details, please contact us and we'll help.
