WOORI BANK ATMS

MOST ATM MACHINES, INCLUDING WOORI BANK, HAVE A BUTTON YOU CAN PRESS FOR ENGLISH. ONCE IN A WHILE YOU WILL ENCOUNTER ATM MACHINES THAT DON'T GIVE YOU THE OPTION FOR "DOMESTIC CARD: ENGLISH," WHICH IS WHAT YOU WANT TO PRESS IN ORDER TO ACCES YOUR KOREAN BANK ACCOUNT IN ENGLISH. IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE ATM MACHINES IN KOREAN, BUT IT IS SOMETIMES FASTER. IT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHAT TO PRESS IN THE CASE THAT ENGLISH IS NOT AVAILABLE. HERE IS MY ATTEMPT TO TEACH YOU HOW TO MASTER THE WOORI BANK ATM MACHINES.

*YOU WILL MOST LIKELY END UP WITH A WOORI BANK ACCOUNT BECAUSE IT IS IN SCHOOL AND I AM PRETTY SURE IT'S THE ONLY BANK THAT WILL BE WILLING TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT FOR YOU RIGHT AWAY WITHOUT YOUR ALIEN REGISTRATION CARD. I BELIEVE THE SCHOOL ARRANGES IT FOR YOU BECAUSE WHEN MY BUDDY TOOK ME, I SAW THEM TAKE OUT THIS BIG FOLDER WITH LIKE ACCEPTANCE LETTERS AND A BIG LIST OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS' NAMES.*

THE MOST ACCESSIBLE WOORI ATM MACHINE IS IN GONZAGA DORMITORY. WHEN I FIRST STARTED USING IT, ENGLISH WAS AN OPTION, BUT FOR SOME REASON, IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME. WHILE TAKING PHOTOS, TURNS OUT THAT IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN, BUT I THINK I SHOULD STILL POST UP MY MINI WOORI BANK TUTORIAL IN THE CASE YOU HAVE TO USE ANOTHER ATM MACHINE SOMEWHERE ELSE.

1. THIS IS THE ATM MACHINE ALONG WITH THE MAIN SCREEN.





2. ON THE MAIN SCREEN ON YOUR BOTTOM RIGHT SIDE YOU WILL SEE THE ENGLISH BUTTON.



3. After you press the English button, you will see the following.


4. CLICK ON "DOMESTIC CARD ENGLISH" AND THEN YOU WILL BE PROMPTED WITH THE FOLLOWING.


HERE IS THE KOREAN EQUIVALENT OF THAT. TRY AND REMEMBER WHAT THE KOREAN WORDS MEAN, THEY COULD COME IN HANDY. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO READ IT, JUST RECOGNIZE WHAT THE KOREAN MEANS.



5. CHOOSE WHATEVER YOU NEED FROM THE SCREEN. EX: WITHDRAWAL. THEN YOU WILL BE PROMPTED TO ENTER YOUR PIN.





6. THEN CHOOSE HOW MUCH MONEY YOU WANT.





*KOREAN VERSION* BE CAREFUL WITH THE KOREAN SCREEN. FOR EXAMPLE LETS TAKE THE FIRST DENOMINATION. IT SAYS 1만원. THAT ACTUALLY MEANS 10,000원(WON). WHATEVER NUMBER IT SHOWS, MULTIPLY IT BY 10,000. I TOOK IT AS BEING 1,000 WON AND WHEN I WAnTED TO TAKE OUT 50,000 WON, I ENDED UP TAKING 500,000 WON!!!! I WAS SO SHOCKED!!!
