Woori Bank said Thursday that it will run a chuseok promotion throughout September for its budget mobile service, Woori WON Mobile.

Customers who sign up for Woori WON Mobile during September will receive 30,000 won ($22) in Naver Pay credit and a monthly coupon worth 5,000 won.

Those who sign up for one of 15 designated plans, including the Double Coupon Plan and the Office Worker Plan, will also receive Woori Financial Group's integrated points, called Kkulmoney, for six months.

Combining all the benefits, customers who sign up in September would in effect pay zero won in phone bills, the bank said.

The referral benefits are also substantial. When a new subscriber enters a referral code upon signing up, the subscriber receives 10,000 won in Kkulmoney, while the referrer receives 20,000 won in Kkulmoney. Each referrer can register up to 50 friends, meaning a customer could earn up to 1 million won in Kkulmoney through referrals alone. The top three referrers will also receive up to an additional 500,000 won in Kkulmoney.

"We designed this chuseok promotion with the intention of giving our customers a holiday gift set," said Yoon Se-ra, deputy manager of Woori Bank's WON Mobile Business Division.

Woori Bank launched two new budget mobile plans, called Woori WON Celeb, on Sept. 1. Customers who transfer a salary of 1 million won or more per month receive a 10,000 won discount on their phone bill. The same discount applies to those who newly open one of the four major pension accounts. Additional discounts apply for setting up automatic bill payments or opening a housing subscription savings account, a Samsung Wallet Money-linked Woori account, or a savings or time deposit account.
