Baemin has enabled mobile meal voucher payments by adding Payco as a new payment method, its operator Woowa Brothers said on Wednesday. Mobile meal vouchers, previously mainly used at offline restaurants, can now be used for Baemin delivery orders, expanding where workplace meal allowances can be spent. The company said about 460,000 people used Payco meal vouchers as of July 2026.

Partnerships among banks, fintechs, platforms and blockchain firms around won-denominated stablecoins are accelerating in the second half, with payment and settlement use cases moving into more concrete pilot tests.

Cross-border remittances are also emerging as a key testing area. Debate continues over regulation, including issuers, reserve assets and approval requirements.
