Compared to its neighbours, digital payment choices in Taiwan are somewhat limited. For example, the EasyCard, which is essential for getting around Taipei, can generally be purchased and reloaded with money at most sites. Although the Taipei Metro intends to start accepting Apple Pay and credit cards starting in 2025, money is still required for a lot of deals.
You’ll also need money to travel by cab, take a meal at a meal establishment ( like one that sells fried dough fries and soy milk ), take a trip to a smaller town, and take day trips to smaller towns.
ATMs: Look out for ATMS by Bank of Taiwan, CTBC Bank, Mega International Bank, TaipeiFubon, Cathay United Hua Nan, Taishin Bank, ChangHwa Bank, Sinopac, Kaohsiung Bank, HSBC Bank, and Cooperative Bank.
Mobile bills:
- One of the most popular e-wallets is LINE Pay, which is one of the most widely used. AliPay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and WeChat Pay are accepted to varying levels.
- OCBC customers can make purchases at retailers across the world using their mobile banking game.
