Korea fintech issuer oversight checklist

Professional in an office setting

This checklist is a conversation starter for teams in Korea preparing card issuing control audits for fintech programs. It is not a regulatory filing guide and does not replace counsel.

Before the review window

  • Confirm which entity owns BIN sponsorship evidence and where letters live.
  • Name the limit-engine change approvers for the last two release cycles.
  • Locate dispute packet templates used by customer ops versus risk.
  • Check holiday and peak-sale calendars that should appear in samples.

During evidence collection

  • Pull authorization extracts with version tags.
  • Include at least one overnight and one weekend stratum.
  • Reconcile token suspend/delete events to customer-ops tickets where claimed.
  • Document any partner-API logs you could not obtain.

Before the readout

  • Separate control failures from documentation gaps.
  • Assign owners and dates — not adjectives — to each finding.
  • Agree which items are internal-only versus network-facing.

Cloudnet Automation’s Busan studio uses variations of this list inside Governance Cohort kickoffs. Adapt it; do not treat it as exhaustive.
