Viva Republica, the operator of the financial super app “Toss,” announced that it successfully concluded a “Create Your Zodiac Sign” donation event, held in celebration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
From December 3 to 25 last year, participants indirectly experienced the accessibility feature known as the “Screen Reader,” designed to assist individuals with visual impairments. They also contributed to the meaningful cause by voluntarily making donations ranging from 1,000 to 2,000,000 KRW via “Tosspay,” Toss’s simple payment service.
Over 3.37 million participated, collectively raising 270 million KRW in donations. The full amount was donated to UNICEF Korea and the Community Chest of Korea to support children with disabilities. Both organizations have pledged to ensure transparency by publicly disclosing the collection and use of the funds.
“We sincerely thank everyone who participated in the ‘Create Your Zodiac Sign’ event. We hope this initiative helped raise awareness about accessibility features like Screen Reader and fostered a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by people with disabilities,” a Toss representative said. “Moving forward, we will continue to create opportunities for our users to directly contribute to meaningful social causes.”
Since 2022, Toss has hosted annual year-end donation events, solidifying its position as a leader in promoting a culture of giving. Each year, Toss introduces innovative ideas to deliver impactful social messages, inspire user participation, and create a positive ripple effect in society.
