Here List of All Domestic Card Networks by Country:

While global giants like Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners Club dominate the international payments landscape, many countries have developed their own domestic card networks to enhance financial sovereignty, reduce transaction costs, and promote local economic growth. These national schemes often coexist with international networks, sometimes co-badged on the same card, to ensure both local and global acceptance.

South Korea has an unusually large number of domestic card issuers for a few historical, economic, and cultural reasons.

History of Banking and Card Industry -

• Early deregulation: In the 1980s–1990s, South Korea deregulated credit card issuance, allowing many banks and financial institutions to launch their own cards.
• Competition among banks: Domestic banks wanted their own cards to lock in customers and cross-sell other services (loans, deposits, insurance).

BC Card & Domestic Network -​

• BC Card is a domestic-only network that links many smaller banks and credit unions.
