Starting on the 15th, the Toss Certificate will also allow login access to the National Tax Service's Hometax (web platform) and Sontax (mobile app) for the simplified year-end tax adjustment service. Through the 'Issue Certificate' menu in the Toss app, users can easily obtain essential documents for tax settlements, including resident registration certificates, basic livelihood recipient certificates, alien registration certificates, disability certificates, and university enrollment certificates."

It has acquired top-level certifications in information security and personal data protection, such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISMS-P. Toss operates and manages the Toss Certificate within a robust and trusted security framework.
