ㅇ Summary of applying cash payment discounts in a business

 

ㅇ If the business is a credit card merchant:

  1. Credit card payment cannot be refused (Article 19, Paragraph 1 of the Act on the Consumer Finance Business);
  2. There may be illegality if there is a difference between the cash payment price and the credit card payment price because merchants cannot impose merchant fees on consumers (credit card members) (Article 19, Paragraph 4 of the Act on the Consumer Finance Business).

 

ㅇ However, if the business is not a credit card merchant, payment can be refused as there is no obligation for the business to become a credit card merchant.
