1. How to use Apple Pay T-money
You can easily add a T-money card in the basic Wallet app on your iPhone. Run the Wallet app, press the '+' button on the top right, and select T-money from the transportation card menu. You can issue a new card or link an existing T-money card. If you charge with a Hyundai Card and set it as an 'Express Transportation Card', you can make payments by simply touching the terminal without unlocking it! It is also automatically linked to the Apple Watch, so you can make transportation payments without your iPhone, making it even more convenient.

Apple Pay T-money has made transportation and daily payments more convenient with various functions such as automatic recharging, exclusive use of Apple Watch, real-time management of wallet app, and small payment support!

3. Can I use a postpaid transportation card?
Currently, Apple Pay T-money only supports prepaid transportation cards. You can recharge with a Hyundai Card, and postpaid transportation cards are not yet linked to Apple Pay. However, there is talk that T-money is considering introducing a postpaid service, so you can look forward to future updates!
4. Are K-Pass and Climate Companion Card linked?
Apple Pay linkage between K-Pass and Climate Companion Card is not yet supported. Currently, it is only available through the physical card or T-money app, and many people are hoping that support will be provided in the future.
| Climate Companion Card | A monthly transit pass used in Seoul and some areas of Gyeonggi-do. It is not yet directly linked to Apple Pay and operates only with a physical card. |
| K-pass | A card that refunds fares when using public transportation 15 or more times. Likewise, it is not supported by Apple Pay, and requires the use of the T-money app or a physical card. |
5. User reviews and outlook
Among iPhone users, there is an evaluation that “the transportation card is finally complete.” The fact that you can use transportation with just your iPhone without a wallet is a big advantage, and the speed is very fast because you can pay in 1 second with Express Mode. However, it is unfortunate that postpaid cards, K-Pass, and Climate Companion Cards are not supported, but there is a high possibility of expansion if iOS updates and T-money system improvements are made.
