Because the registered name on the phone and the actual owner sometimes differ, North Korean authorities impose ID verifications that check the registered owner of the phone number, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">App users must reportedly make their purchases in foreign currency only, just as they would at the brick-and-mortar shops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou can register on the app various foreign currency cards issued by the Central Bank and regional commercial banks,\u201d said the source. \u201cPeople who haven\u2019t registered a card can buy things with bank transfers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means even if a user has no separately issued foreign currency card, they can buy goods by depositing money in the foreign currency shops\u2019 bank accounts, as long as they have a foreign currency account in their own name.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you send money to the foreign currency shop\u2019s foreign currency account, you get a text message within a minute saying the payment has been completed,\u201d said the source. \u201cEveryone was amazed at first at such a rare thing, though they also worried about getting scammed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is to say, North Koreans \u2014 highly distrustful of the country\u2019s public financial system \u2014 were at first hesitant to buy goods using mobile payments or bank transfers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn particular, people in provincial areas were so amazed they bought the cheapest thing there just to see what happened,\u201d said the source. \u201cWhen people in Yanggang Province bought goods from a foreign currency shop in Pyongyang on their mobile phones, the items arrived within a week, packaged with the specific name of the shop, delivered via private buses from Pyongyang to Hamhung to Hyesan. Now people don\u2019t worry about getting scammed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, North Koreans express surprise and contentment that they can receive items from Pyongyang foreign currency shops within a week, exclaiming that \u201cthis is the first time in their lives that they have felt the state so thoroughly earning the individual\u2019s trust.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you buy goods from Pyongyang in the provinces, the app gives you the total price by automatically calculating the shipping cost,\u201d the source said, adding, \u201cPeople have no complaints about this. They can conveniently receive goods where they are, so naturally they don\u2019t mind paying shipping based on the distance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20220913-1\/\"><i>Read in Korean<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Koreans can use both bank cards and bank transfers to buy goods on a popular mobile e-commerce app used to purchase items from foreign currency shops nationwide.
