Receiving money in South Korea: the local picture
Currency
Transfers into South Korea land in South Korean won (KRW), so the exchange rate you lock in and the fees quoted up front are what decide how much actually arrives.
How transfers settle
Domestic interbank transfers run over the Bank of Korea's CD/ATM and Interbank networks; most retail banks offer real-time transfers with cut-off windows for large amounts. That matters for a transfer sent from Incheon: a provider that delivers onto the local rail typically clears faster than a routed correspondent-bank wire.
Recipient details
Korean accounts use a bank code plus a 10-14 digit account number; domestic transfers ask for the recipient's name exactly as registered with their bank (Korean characters). Getting these recipient details exactly right is the difference between a same-day delivery and a bounced-back transfer.
Regulation
Payments in South Korea are overseen by the Bank of Korea / Financial Services Commission (FSC). Electronic financial business in Korea requires FSC registration under the Electronic Financial Transactions Act. Verify the provider's registration before holding funds with it.
