NHN KCP (CEO Park Joon-seok) announced on the 16th that it had invited the management of Mercedes pay, the fintech subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, to its headquarters in Guro-gu, Seoul, to inspect its payment infrastructure and discuss cooperation measures between the two companies.

The event was organized to review the core payment system of “Retail of the Future” (RoF), a new vehicle sales model introduced by Mercedes-Benz Korea on the 13th, and to solidify the working-level partnership between the two companies. More than 10 executives and employees, including Mercedes pay CEO Nico Kersten, examined NHN KCP’s integrated payment infrastructure and discussed specific areas of collaboration.

At a presentation session held that day, NHN KCP showcased an end-to-end (E2E) payment solution tailored to the automotive distribution market. In particular, it shared its stable settlement infrastructure and security technologies, which are essential for high-involvement product categories such as automobiles, highlighting its capabilities in building a payment environment befitting a premium brand.

During the subsequent technical tour, Mercedes pay executives and employees visited NHN KCP’s “heart,” the technology Control Center. They inspected the real-time payment traffic monitoring system and incident response framework, directly verifying the technical stability of the payment services to be provided to Mercedes-Benz Korea customers.

The event concluded with a “Future Partnership Kit” handover ceremony symbolizing the amicable partnership between the two companies. The kit, which includes a CI sticker pack reflecting NHN KCP’s brand identity and a moon jar objet symbolizing traditional Korean aesthetics, served as an opportunity for both sides to reaffirm their solid cooperative relationship and share their future vision.

Mercedes pay CEO Nico Kersten stated, “Based on our company’s philosophy of delivering the best customer experience through strong partnerships with industry experts, our collaboration with NHN KCP to establish a seamless digital vehicle purchasing environment in Korea is a symbolic case of cooperation,” adding, “It is very meaningful to meet in person with NHN KCP’s executives and staff, who have been working with us across time zones, and to share the results of the project. This visit is the most significant moment in the journey of the past several months.”

NHN KCP CEO Park Joon-seok said, “This visit by Mercedes pay has been an important opportunity for both companies to confirm their technological trust and deepen their partnership,” and added, “Building on our payment infrastructure, we will provide differentiated experiences to Mercedes-Benz Korea customers while driving innovation in the payment paradigm of the automotive distribution market.”
