Spreads at Incheon Airport run roughly 3–5% wider than downtown. Licensed changers in Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, or major bank branches consistently quote the best rates in Seoul.
Card or cash
Cards are accepted in 99% of Korean retail. Keep cash for street markets, traditional vendors, and small purchases. Most ATMs cap single withdrawals at ₩1,000,000.
Staying a while?
Multi-currency cards like Wise or Revolut beat typical foreign transaction fees. Opening a local KRW account is possible once you have an Alien Registration Card (ARC).
