How to Pay Bills

Bills in Korea can be paid in several convenient ways. Most bills will include a barcode or account information that allows for easy payment through multiple methods:

• Through GI Bill Pay
  A convenient option for service members to pay certain bills directly through their military account.

• At a convenience store (GS25, CU, etc.)
  Bring your bill with the barcode and pay at the counter—this is one of the easiest and most commonly used methods.

• Using a bill payment machine at a bank
  Insert or scan your bill at the machine and follow the prompts to complete payment.

• Via Korean bank transfer
  If you have a Korean bank account, you can transfer the amount directly using the account details listed on the bill.

• In person at our realty office

Understanding Management Fees & Utilities

Many apartment complexes in Korea charge a monthly management fee (관리비) that covers shared building expenses such as general management (일반관리비), security services (경비비), cleaning services (청소비), elevator maintenance (승강기유지비), disinfection and pest control (소독비), common-area electricity (공동전기료), common-area water usage (공동수도료), landscaping, and other building maintenance costs.

For many USFK-affiliated active duty tenants, these building management fees are typically covered separately under their housing arrangement. However, tenants are generally responsible for utilities and services consumed within their individual unit, including:

• Electricity (전기료)

• Gas (가스요금)

• Water (수도요금) when individually metered

• Hot Water (온수비) when separately billed

• Heating (난방비) when separately billed

• Internet and television services (인터넷 / TV)

• Other unit-specific charges

Always review your lease and housing agreement for details regarding your specific property, as billing structures may vary between apartment complexes, villas, duplexes, and single-family homes.
