Toss Expands Global Reach with New Multilingual Support
Toss now integrates Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Russian languages into its app, enhancing accessibility for foreign nationals in Korea.
In a move that positions it as a global leader in fintech accessibility, Toss has recently incorporated four new languages into its app. Joining English, the Korean fintech giant now offers support in Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Russian, broadening its scope and allowing diverse communities in Korea to engage with their services effortlessly.
Broadening Financial Access
The strategic decision to include these languages stems from their prevalence among foreign nationals residing in Korea. With 460,000 non-Korean users as of the first half of this year, Toss’s expansion addresses a key requirement for ease and accessibility in financial services. Particularly noteworthy is the app’s adept handling of multinational identity verification systems, smoothing potential hiccups in cross-national name structures.
Simplifying Everyday Financial Tasks
Toss isn’t just adding languages; it’s enhancing day-to-day utility. Financial operations—from remittances and payments to medical bill reimbursements—can now be navigated with the same fluency and ease as Korean users enjoy. This leap in service ensures that language ceases to be a barrier, and Toss is increasingly seen as a reliable platform for comfortable financial management.
Building Trust and Understanding
With this newfound linguistic diversity, Toss anticipates palpable improvements in user trust and understanding of their system. “Toss has been consistently laying the groundwork for expansive multilingual services led by an in-house dedicated team,” a company spokesperson shared. The endgoal? To morph into a universal platform where financial management knows no linguistic bounds.
Future Language Expansions
The linguistic expansion is ongoing, with plans to roll out additional languages including Japanese, Uzbek, Nepali, Indonesian, Filipino, Burmese, Mongolian, Sinhala, and Kazakh by the end of this year and into early next year. Toss’s vision is global, and with every new language, that vision takes a step closer to reality.
As stated in The Korea Times, Toss’s persistent expansion and user-centric growth strategies underscore its commitment to redefine financial engagement for global users. The future promises even greater inclusivity, paving the way for a truly global financial ecosystem.
