How to Use ATMs

There are many ATMs (Automatic Teller Machines) on campus that offer functions in English, as well as other foreign languages. The following information is a guide to help you through the ATM banking process.

It is possible to transfer money locally through an ATM even if you don’t have a Korean bank account. Following are instructions for those who have a Korean account and those who do not have a Korean bank account.

The ATM screen offers several transfer options such as transferring between accounts, transferring without bank account, transferring to your bank account from other bank’s ATM, checking your account balance, and updating a passbook. Some of these functions do not need to insert your ATM/check card or passbook to begin the process.

Transferring Money from a Korean Bank Account to Another

Press 계좌이체 (transfer between accounts) and enter your pin code when you see 비밀번호를 입력하세요 (Enter PIN).

  1. Select the recipient’s bank (은행) from the list provided.
  2. The following phrase will appear: 수취인의 계좌번호를 누르신 후 확인 버튼을 눌러주세요 (enter recipient’s account number and press 확인 to confirm.)
  3. Enter the amount of the transfer, then press 원 (won) on the bottom right of the screen.
  4. The recipient’s name and transfer amount will appear on the screen. Press 확인 (Confirm) if the information is correct.
  5. Press 취소 (Cancel) if anything is incorrect and you may begin again
If you do not have a Korean bank account or if you want to transfer cash to another domestic account, the instructions are only available in Korean: 무통장송금.
  1. Follow the 계좌이체 steps listed above.
  2. Put the cash in the drawer that will open up, then press 닫기 (close) to close the drawer.
  3. Enter your mobile phone number or name so that the recipient can see who sent the money.
  4. The recipient’s name and the amount transferred will appear on the screen.
  5. Press 확인 (Confirm) if the amount is correct or 취소 (Cancel) if it is not.
Balance Inquiry 예금조회

In English, you only have the option of seeing your balance, whereas in Korean you can also see your transactions history.

  1. Insert your Passbook or card, enter your pin code when you see 비밀번호를 입력하세요 (Enter PIN)
  2. You will see a number of time period options: 당일 (Today), 1주일 (1 week), 15일 (15 days), 1개월 (1 month), etc. Once you’ve selected your option, the transactions in your account during that period will appear on the screen.
  3. Press 확인 (Confirm) to end the process.
Passbook update 통장정리

There are some banks that have an English ‘Passbook update’ option, while others may not. In that case look for 통장정리 on the opening screen.

  1. Open your passbook to the last page on which a transaction has been printed and on which transaction lines are still available – you will see numbers to the left of the page. (This is important because if you still have a space remaining on a page but you insert starting from a new page, the transactions will be printed at the bottom of the new page – the machine turns the page to a new one when all lines have been filled).
  2. Insert your open passbook into the wider slot on the ATM.
  3. Your latest transactions will be printed on and your passbook will come out at the end of the process.
