South Korea’s Shinhan Card said Thursday it has signed a three-year partnership agreement with US-based online retail giant Amazon, as it seeks to aggressively expand its list of global partners.



According to the card issuer, an array of benefits will be provided for Shinhan Card users who use e-commerce and other services by Amazon. Both firms will first jointly launch a promotion on Nov. 15 for its customers seeking overseas direct purchases during the fast-approaching Black Friday sales.
