A check card perfectly suited for billiards fans has been released.

The Professional Billiards Association (PBA) and Hana Card held a launch ceremony for the “PBA Hana Check Card” on the 6th at the “Goyang KINTEX PBA Stadium” in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province. Attendees included PBA President Yoon Young-dal, Vice President Jang Sang-jin, Ha Na-ka-deu (CEO) Director Sung Yeong-su, Kim Ga-young (Hana Card), and Kim Young-won (Harim).

Following the “Wonder Card Hana Pay Billiards Team Special Edition” produced in February 2024 to commemorate the first PBA Team League championship win by the professional billiards team “Hana Card Hana Pay,” Hana Card is launching a card in partnership with the PBA after approximately two years and eight months.

The biggest feature of the newly introduced “PBA Hana Check Card” is that a portion of the transaction amount is accumulated as a PBA development fund upon payment. It is also significant in that the daily consumption of billiards fans contributes to the development of professional billiards. A Hana Card representative explained, “As professional billiards and finance join hands to present a fan-participation fund model, it is expected to support President Yoon Young-dal’s vision for expanding the base of billiards enthusiasts since his inauguration.”

The benefits of the “PBA Hana Check Card” are also tailored for billiards fans. Users receive a 50% cashback when using billiard halls and can enjoy tickets to PBA-LPBA tournaments at a 50% discount. The card also includes special event invitation benefits, such as one-point lessons with Hana Card players. Additionally, it offers a 5% cashback at lifestyle industries such as restaurants, gas stations, and hospitals. The cashback limit is 10,000 to 20,000 won per month, depending on the previous month’s transaction record.

The card design comes in three types: a basic version, along with editions for Kim Ga-young, the winner of last season’s “Hana Card Hana Capital Jeju Special Autonomous Province PBA-LPBA World Championship 2026,” and an edition for Kim Young-won. The Kim Ga-young edition and the Kim Young-won edition feature caricatures of the players along with their autographs. Fans can choose and apply for a card featuring their favorite player. At the launch ceremony, the two players commemorated the release by signing large card panels bearing their own images.

Ha Na-ka-deu (CEO) Director Sung Yeong-su said, “Every time you use the card, a portion of the transaction amount is accumulated as a PBA development fund,” adding, “We will continue to support efforts to make billiards a source of enjoyment for more people together with the PBA.”

Since founding the professional billiards team “Hana Card OneQ Pay (now Hana Pay)” in June 2022, Hana Card has consistently partnered with the PBA. It has held the PBA-LPBA tour every season since the 2022-2023 season, and its operating professional billiards team, Hana Card Hana Pay, has achieved synergy by becoming a prestigious team after recording the first two-time championship in the history of the PBA Team League.
