Seoul, July 1: (Reuters): One of South Korea’s top banks has rolled out a new credit card for Protestant clergy that will give them breaks on Bible purchases and allow them to gather bonus points they can turn into donations for their churches.

The state-run Industrial Bank of Korea has introduced its “I am Pastor” card that will give clergy a few dollars off when they purchase religious books at certain websites.
