2024 key trends
In Taiwan, the travel industry is experiencing a swift recovery, as Taiwanese travellers demonstrate a strong inclination to explore both outbound and domestic destinations for relaxation and leisure. The resurgence of travel activities has sparked a surge in demand amongst Taiwanese tourists eager to rejuvenate through travel experiences, contributing to the revitalisation of tourism.
Change of age of adulthood impacts the industry
The recent lowering of the national adult age to 18 years old in Taiwan has had significant implications for the country’s payments landscape. In response to this change, the Financial Supervisory Commission has coordinated with the revision of relevant regulations to accommodate individuals who have reached the age of 18, enabling them to independently open bank accounts and apply for credit cards.
Competitive landscape
In Taiwan’s dynamic financial cards landscape, the traditional boundaries between payment methods are becoming increasingly blurred as consumers seek seamless and convenient payment solutions. This shift is driven by the growing demand for flexibility and efficiency in financial transactions, prompting innovative players to adapt and evolve their offerings.
What next for financial cards and payments?

With a vision to propel Taiwan towards a cashless society, the FSC has recently unveiled a bold target: by the year 2026, the number of non-cash payment transactions is anticipated to soar to 8 billion, with the total transaction value surging to TWS10 trillion.
