How do I use a bank card to ride the metro?
1. For the initial 6 months following the launch, testing of online usage will be available exclusively with VISA, Mastercard, and JCB credit cards, along with debit cards issued by Taishin Bank, the designated acquiring bank. 2. Simply tap your bank card on the card reader area to enter the station. ( shown on the gate) 3. You can also link a bank card to a mobile wallet like Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or Apple Pay, and tap your phone on the card reader to ride. Note: If your bank card also has a stored-value card feature (like a co-branded EasyCard), where you tap determines how you're charged—tapping at the bank card reader charges your card, while tapping at the stored-value reader deducts from your e-wallet balance.
