About
Manmulsang is a North Korean e-commerce platform that also serves as a payment wallet. It was launched around 2016 by the Yonpung Commercial Information Technology Company as a site on the state computer network listing domestic and imported goods from vendors, and later became a mobile app. Through the app, users can buy from foreign-currency shops nationwide by paying with a pre-registered foreign-currency card from the Central Bank or a regional commercial bank, and the card must match the user's name and phone number. In 2026, 38 North counted eight e-payment systems in the country and cited Manmulsang as one of the four most common.
