Major South Korean credit card firms will remove the Active X framework starting later this week in a bid to enhance convenient and faster e-commerce payments, industry sources said yesterday.
The system has been the main cause for complaints from online shoppers.
Shinhan Card Co., the largest card issuer by market share; Hyundai Card Co., the fourth-largest, and NH Nonghyup Card Co. will adopt new security solutions based on .exe files, or executable files, which are used to run programs on every type of online platform, starting Thursday.
Lotte Card Co., Samsung Card Co. and KEB Hana Card Co. will start such services next week. BC Card Co. and Woori Card Co. already replaced the ActiveX control system last year.
ActiveX is a plug-in software that controls and protects users’ computers but works only on Microsoft Window platforms, such as Internet Explorer.
