This app only allows Korean citizens to use. Even if you have a Korean ID number, it doesn't matter. I find that beyond ridiculous. It should be available to all people who have Korean ID numbers. I wish I were able to write more reviews and bring their ratings down, then maybe they would read the comments and do something about it.

Can't use without Kakaotalk account. FYI, if you are a foreigner, you can't open a bank account; but it is same in U.S. and many other countries. This is not a one-time prepaid cash account but it is a reloadable banking account from an internet bank.

There are many people working, being educated, and investing in Korea. There are very great English speakers here. Even developing countries have English versions of banking applications..
