Payco was created by Nonghyup Bank, one of the biggest banks in South Korea, as a way for customers to send money, pay bills, get insurance, and access investment products.

Partnerships with platforms like YouTube and T-money, used to pay for public transportation in Seoul and other major cities, mean it's grown into a popular way to pay online.

You don't need to set up a bank account in South Korea to add Payco as a payment option with Paddle.
