Scope
– Mobile payments have gained widespread acceptance due to increasing consumer awareness and acceptance among merchants. According to the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), mobile payment transaction value reached TWD47.8bn ($1.56bn) in 2018. This represented a more than threefold hike from TWD14.8bn ($483.42m) in 2017, mainly due to aggressive promotion by mobile wallet providers and government support for mobile payments. The government aims to increase the percentage of mobile phone users who make mobile payments to 90% by 2025. The government is also offering tax incentives to small businesses, allowing them to continue to pay business tax of 1% until the end of 2020, even if they expand their business operations – as long as they provide mobile payment options to customers. The government estimates that 400,000 small businesses will benefit from the initiative.
– To benefit from the growing consumer preference for digital banking, banks in Taiwan have launched digital-only banks. Targeting millennials, Taishin International Bank launched its digital-only bank Richart in 2016. As of November 2018 the bank had received over 450,000 applications for its savings account. Part of Richart’s appeal lies in its attractive proposition, which includes a 1% interest rate on savings, low investment starting from TWD10 ($0.33), and cashback of 3.5%. Meanwhile, Cathay United Bank launched its digital-only bank KOKO Bank. Account holders can opt for Visa Financial Card or Mastercard debit card.
– To benefit from the growing preference for alternative payment solutions, a number of international companies have entered the market. Android Pay launched in Taiwan in June 2017.
