The Korea Exchange Bank (KEB) is offering seminars in English for expats wanting to learn more about personal banking in Korea at the Itaewon Global Village Center.
Taking place on Oct. 27 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., these seminars cover all the basics, like how to sign up for a bank account and debit card, how to pay utility bills, how to wire and receive money from your home country, and how to get a credit card.
The bankers will also explain how to begin banking online (in English) with either a Windows PC or Mac. This is followed by an extensive Q&A session when experienced bankers from KEB will address your queries.
The session is free.
