Does Kakao debit card work in the US and Canada? - Person Holding Debit Card

This might be a bit of a long shot, but hopefully someone here will know.

I currently am scheduled to travel the US and Canada for around three weeks. I don’t have any credit cards in my name, but I do have a debit card issued by Kakao Bank (a Korean tech company) and branded with Mastercard.

Will I be able to use this card as a simple debit card while I’m abroad? I would assume so since it is from Mastercard but was wondering if anyone here has same or similar experiences.



Best Answer

A MasterCard branded card will most likely work just fine, the only time I have had a MasterCard that did not work was a mainland China card that was clearly stated only for mainland China use.

Answer 2

I can add a few experiences from the US.

  • One employee had to ask a supervisor if they accepted my credit card that lacks embossed name and number (despite a VISA logo on the front side).
  • Does the card have a PIN? If so some employees don't know how to handle it if their terminal asks for it.
