Reload & Refund Locations

 

The cards can be purchased or reloaded at convenience stores and T-money service desks at subway stations.

* Cards can also be reloaded using the card reloading devices inside subway stations.

* Upon refund, travelers can receive the remaining balance loaded in the card with a service charge of 500 won; the card purchase payment will not be refunded. Cardholders are advised to load their card in small amounts as the refund process for over 50,000 won can be complicated and time-consuming.
