Hana Financial Group’s Travlog, an online currency exchange service, has surpassed 10 million subscribers as of Monday, the company said Friday.

Travlog allows users to convert Korean won into 58 currencies and make overseas payments and ATM withdrawals — all without extra fees. The service is available on the Hana Money app.

As of Thursday, Travlog recorded a cumulative foreign exchange volume of 5.4 trillion won ($3.67 billion), the largest for any forex platform operated by a Korean financial institution. The service has saved customers a total of 336.2 billion won, according to Hana.

Travlog has also maintained the No. 1 market share in the overseas debit card sector for 34 months straight.

Travlog became the first service within Korea’s top five financial groups to release cards that link all three major global payment brands: Mastercard, Visa and UnionPay. Other services include free international wire transfers, interconnection with third-party bank accounts and an automatic currency exchange when a target rate is reached.

After launching in July 2022, Travlog took 11 months to garner 1 million subscribers and 22 months for 5 million.

To celebrate the recent milestone, Hana Financial Group Chairman Ham Young-joo gifted the 10 millionth subscriber a Hana Money travel voucher worth 2 million won.

“Travlog has become an essential tool for travel nowadays, as it enables travelers to go cashless through this mobile currency exchange service available 24/7,” Ham said.

“Hana will continue to invest in and support Travelog on its journey to reaching 50 million users.”
