Scope

- There has been a significant shift in consumer preferences toward the use of cashless methods of payment. According to the Research, Development and Evaluation Commission of Taipei City, 49% of Taipei citizens favored cashless payment methods in 2022. As per the same source, credit cards accounted for 25% of cashless payments, followed by mobile payments (18%).
- Contactless payments are gradually gaining traction in Taiwan. In May 2023, payment company TapPay launched Tap to Pay in Taiwan, enabling businesses to accept in-person contactless payments via compatible iPhone devices. Previously, in August 2022, CTBC Bank partnered with payment services provider Soft Space to launch the Tap-on-Phone solution for taxi drivers, allowing them to accept payments via contactless cards, mobile wallets, and wearables.
- Retailers are increasingly focusing on offering innovative in-store concepts. In July 2023, convenience store chain 7-Eleven partnered with Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to offer cashier-free stores in the country. Customers can enter the store by displaying their QR code in the 7-Eleven app. Users pick up their products of choice and walk away from the store. Payments are charged to the payment card linked in the app. The store is equipped with ITRI's Grab & Go System Service, which includes smart shelves and several artificial intelligence sensors, allowing sales tracking, inventory management, and the detection of customer hotspots.
