Quick Answer
Looking for an ATM near Gyeongbokgung?
If you need Korean won with a foreign card, start with two bank-listed Global ATM destinations around Gyeongbokgung Station and Sajik-ro: Hana Bank Gyeongbokgung-yeok at 130 Sajik-ro and Hana Bank NAEJADONG at 39 Sajik-ro 8-gil.
Do not choose by the order on this page. First identify where you are around Gyeongbokgung, then compare both walking routes from your current location.
When you arrive, check the actual ATM, your card network and the ATM screen before withdrawing Korean won.
A bank-listed Global ATM is a useful starting point for a foreign card, but it does not guarantee that every foreign-issued card will complete a transaction.

Travelers Wish They Knew This Before Looking for an ATM near Gyeongbokgung
Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gyeongbokgung Station are close, but your exact starting point can change which ATM route makes more sense.
Do not start by asking: “Which ATM is first on this page?”
Ask: “Which bank-listed Global ATM makes more sense from where I am now?”
Keep three checks separate:
LOCATION → Where is the ATM?
GLOBAL ATM EVIDENCE → What does the bank list?
ACTUAL TRANSACTION → Will this ATM work with your card now?

1. Find Your Gyeongbokgung Starting Point
Start from a place you can recognize. You do not need to guess which ATM is closer before checking your actual walking route.
Near Gyeongbokgung Palace
If you are already visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace, use your current position as the starting point.
Do not walk toward a subway entrance only because an ATM name includes Gyeongbokgung Station.
Near Gyeongbokgung Station
If you are already around Gyeongbokgung Station, compare both ATM routes from there.
Around Sajik-ro
Both core destinations in this guide are in the Sajik-ro area of Jongno-gu, but they are different destinations.
Let your current location decide which walking route makes more sense.
START FROM A PLACE YOU RECOGNIZE.
2. Compare Two Global ATM Options
These two bank-listed destinations serve the same general Gyeongbokgung area, but they are not the same location.

Official English address:
130 Sajik-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
Lot address:
80 Jeokseon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul

서울 종로구 사직로 130
Type: 365 Corner Global ATM
Evidence: Listed in Hana Bank Global ATM search results.
CHECK WALKING TIME →Hana Bank — NAEJADONG

Korean:
하나은행 내자동
서울 종로구 사직로8길 39
Type: 365 Corner Global ATM

CHECK WALKING TIME →Choose by your current location, not by the order on this page.
Can You Use ATMs at Other Banks?
Yes! You can also use ATMs at other banks in Korea. You do not have to use only Woori Bank or Hana Bank.
Look for an ATM marked Global ATM or International Cards.
Check for your card logo, such as Visa, PLUS, Mastercard, Maestro, Cirrus, JCB, or UnionPay. If the ATM supports your card network, you can try withdrawing Korean won.
Why do we show Woori Bank and Hana Bank? Their official Global ATM searches help us find specific locations and give you Google Maps walking directions.
Just check the walking time from where you are and choose the route that works for you.
3. Check Walking Time Before You Go
Open both Google Maps routes before you start walking.
The directions use your current location, so you can compare the route that makes sense for you now.
Do not rely on a fixed walking time in an article. A traveler at the palace gate and a traveler already near Gyeongbokgung Station can get different results.
OFFICIAL BANK DATA → What the bank lists
VERIFIED ADDRESS → Where you intend to go
GOOGLE MAPS → How to get there
ACTUAL ATM + CARD → Whether the transaction can proceed
Google Maps is used for navigation only. It is not the evidence that a location is a Global ATM.
4. Check the ATM Before Using Your Foreign Card
Reaching the correct address is not the final check. Look at the actual machine before starting the transaction.
Look for Global ATM Information
Check the actual machine for Global ATM or international-card information before starting.
Match Your Card Network
Look for a network logo that matches your card.
The logos and services shown can vary by ATM and card network.
A matching card-network logo or Global ATM label does not guarantee that every foreign-issued card will complete a transaction.
Check the ATM Screen
Follow the options shown on the actual machine.
Screen wording, languages and transaction steps can vary by ATM.
5. Withdraw Korean Won
Read the ATM screen carefully before confirming the withdrawal.
Check the withdrawal amount, any fee displayed by the ATM, currency or conversion information, and the final transaction details.
Do not assume that every Korean ATM has the same fee, withdrawal limit or screen sequence.
If the ATM shows a currency or conversion choice, read the amount and exchange information before deciding.
CARD → CASH → AMOUNT → RECEIPT → COMPLETE
6. If the ATM Does Not Work
First identify what failed. A declined card and money debited without cash are different problems.
If Your Card Is Declined
Stop repeating the same attempt.
Read the ATM message and change one variable.
Depending on the situation, you can compare the other bank-listed Global ATM, try another card, or check with your card issuer.
If You Were Debited but Received No Cash
Stop. This is a different problem.
Save the ATM location, bank or operator, approximate transaction time, amount, receipt if available, and any error or transaction message.
Need Help Finding or Using the ATM?
If you need help from bank staff or someone nearby, show the destination or problem on your screen.
Use your preferred translation, voice or conversation mode.
Show the translated screen instead of relying only on pronunciation.
For a location question, show the bank name and exact address:
Hana Bank Gyeongbokgung-yeok — 130 Sajik-ro
or
Hana Bank NAEJADONG — 39 Sajik-ro 8-gil
If the transaction failed, show the ATM message or transaction information. Never show your PIN.
7. Final Check Before You Leave
Do not walk away immediately after the ATM finishes.
Check that you have your card, the expected cash amount and your receipt if one was issued.
If anything looks wrong, save the transaction details before leaving the ATM location.
CARD → CASH → AMOUNT → RECEIPT → COMPLETE
