NOL Universe's prepaid payment service, NOL Money, has marked its first anniversary. The service, which offers payment benefits tailored for travel and leisure, has established itself as a key component in enhancing customer experience on the platform.
Since its launch in August 2025, NOL Money has seen steady growth, surpassing 430,000 total subscribers. Both the number of users and transaction amounts have more than tripled compared to the first month of its launch. The highest usage categories include domestic accommodations, performances and exhibitions, and domestic leisure products. Notably, from January to July 2026, the average monthly transaction frequency for NOL Money users was approximately 26% higher than that of regular payment customers, indicating a successful cycle of repeated service use.
NOL Money offers a maximum of 2% rewards on payments made after charging the account. Accumulated points can be freely used across various categories on the platform, including accommodations, transportation, leisure, and performance tickets.
Starting in September, NOL Universe plans to enhance its existing rewards by introducing immediate discounts on select products when paid with NOL Money. The company also aims to strengthen payment convenience through ongoing partnerships with various financial institutions.
Yoon Hyun-mo, Chief Product Officer of NOL Universe, stated, "NOL Money seamlessly connects all leisure activities, from accommodations to performances, into a single payment experience, driving high repeat usage and satisfaction. We plan to continue expanding connectivity between various services and enhancing the payment experience, allowing customers to naturally transition between travel and leisure on one platform."
In addition to enhancing payment convenience and benefits, NOL Universe is broadening user advantages through its largest discount event of the year. The NOL platform will conduct the final discount and live special price event of the NOL Day campaign until August 17. For domestic travelers, it will offer accommodation discount coupon packs worth up to 200,000 won and showcase major hotels, resorts, and leisure products at discounts of up to 70%.
Various benefits for international travel are also available. Every day at 10 a.m., the platform issues coupons for up to 50% off international flight tickets and up to 10% off international accommodations on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, it provides ongoing 5% discount coupons for popular routes to Japan, China, and Taiwan, as well as for overseas package deals.
Discounts for performances and exhibitions have also been added. Popular shows such as the musical "Gwanghwamun Sonata," "Portrait of a Boy," and the play "Socrates Paradox" are available at discounts of up to 60%. Furthermore, every day at 10 a.m., the platform distributes performance and exhibition coupon packs worth a total of 11,000 won on a first-come, first-served basis, and customers who complete their viewing will receive an additional 6,000 won discount coupon.
