### 2/5 — Foreign Visa to Reload

*2026-01-06*

We are foreigners residing as long-term guests in Korea for 3+ years. Please consider reinstating the option to top up balances electronically with a foreign Visa card. NAMANE is heavily used by tourists and long-term residents alike; Visa cards are the most common on the planet, and removing that option no longer makes this card much better than WOW or T-Money if the only way to reload is with cash. I would gladly pay extra processing fees for the convenience & believe others would too. Thank you!

### 2/5 — It was better before

*2025-11-22*

This was the only card at the time I could recharge using my device. But now they’ve limited the ways to top up. Why can’t I use a Korean card at all? Why no Naver Pay or Kakao Pay? A few months ago you could! Why give customers fewer options now

### 1/5 — 交通

*2025-11-22*

交通余额什么时候可以退，丢了卡就白丢吗，不理解分成两种余额的意义

### 1/5 — 何でかな？

*2025-11-03*

韓国住みの人から便利と聞いたので事前に登録しておこうと思ったのに認証コード来なくて登録すら出来ませんでした

### 5/5 — 交通卡只能加值一點點錢到底要幹嘛

*2025-09-05, version 4.2.0*

越改越爛，交通卡餘額不能轉回去我沒意見，我想要把支付餘額加值交通卡，只讓我加不到五千塊韓幣是什麼意思？我原本餘額只剩兩千多韓幣，交通卡裡不允許擁有一萬韓幣的話我要這張卡幹嘛？
