The payment and settlement system of Korea was for long heavily dependent on paper-based payment instruments. This is attributable to individuals' traditionally strong preference for cash as a payment instrument and the well-developed bill and cashiers check system. Nevertheless, the use of non-paper based payment instruments has grown steadily since the 1980s with interbank funds transfer systems such as Interbank Funds Transfer System and the Interbank CD/ATM System being established. The spread of e-commerce transactions and introduction of Internet banking in recent years are accelerating the movement toward a further diversification of the range of electronic payment and settlement systems.
The payment and settlement system of Korea consists mainly of a large-value payment system, various retail payment systems, securities settlement systems, and foreign exchange settlement systems. The main large-value payment system is the Bank of Korea Financial Wire Network (BOK-Wire+), which is a hybrid settlement system owned and operated by the Bank of Korea (BOK). Most of the retail payment systems are run by Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute (KFTC). Representatives of such systems are the Check Clearing System, the Giro System, the Interbank Shared Network Systems, and the B2C & B2B E-commerce Payment Systems. There are credit card payment systems as well. Recently, a few retail payment systems which are run by non-financial institutions such as telecommunication companies have appeared. Securities settlement systems include the Securities Market Settlement System and the KOSDAQ Market Settlement System managed by Korea Exchange(KRX) and the OTC Bond Market Settlement System run by Korea Securities Depository(KSD). In December 2004, a Payment versus Payment (PvP) system for foreign exchange through CLS Bank was established.
