Policy Support and Regulatory Innovation


Through strategic policies like the "5+2 Industrial Innovation Plan" and the "Three Major Plans," the Taiwanese government has highlighted fintech's core position in local development. These policies provide financial support for fintech innovation and guide the digital transformation of banks and financial institutions. The "AI Utilization Guidelines for the Financial Industry" issued by Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) provides a clear regulatory framework for financial institutions to use AI technology, ensuring fintech's healthy and safe development.


Regulatory Sandbox: A Safe Testing Ground for Innovation


Taiwan’s regulatory sandbox system provides a secure environment for fintech innovation. Under the "Financial Technology Development and Innovation Experiment Act," the sandbox allows companies to test innovative products, services, business models, and delivery mechanisms in a controlled setting while ensuring risk control and consumer protection. This flexible regulatory framework promotes fintech innovation and safeguards the financial system's stability.


Diverse Ecosystem: Integration of Technology and Applications


Taiwan's diverse fintech ecosystem prompted over 90% of banks to undertake digital transformation by adopting emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data to improve service efficiency and customer experience. The application of these technologies enhances payment convenience and provides new approaches for the popularization and application of fintech.


Cross-Border Cooperation: Expanding Global Vision


Through cooperation with global fintech enterprises and sharing data and analysis, Taiwan is promoting the internationalization of fintech services. These collaborations strengthen Taiwan's position in the worldwide fintech network and provide opportunities for local enterprises to expand into international markets.


Conclusion


Taiwan's fintech policies and innovation strategies provide a solid foundation for developing local fintech and open new avenues for global fintech cooperation and exchange. As fintech continues to advance, Taiwan is poised to become a crucial hub for fintech in Asia and globally, leading the future of the financial industry.
