- Credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, JCB, UnionPay cards, both credit and debit, are widely accepted, AMEX and Diners are less accepted but should still work in major shops.
Cards without chips should still work, but bring cards equipped with chips if possible. - Bus/Metro Cards: You will be provided with EasyCard (see Notes in Transportation section). You can top up any amount of cash in FamilyMart or Taipei Metro stations; for other convenience stores, the minimum amount to top-up is TWD100.
Besides MRT and Bus, EasyCard can be also used as a payment method in many shops, convenience stores, and restaurants like Wellcome, 7-11, or KFC. You can cancel and refund the card (with TWD20 fee deducted) before your departure in both terminals of TPE airport.
- ATM: A lot. Nearly all convenience stores have ATM inside. All ATMs are connected with VISA PLUS/MasterCard Cirrus & Maestro systems, some are also connected with China UnionPay and others. Please contact your bank for overseas withdrawal fees and other limitations.
- Edit by Gary: Please try ATMs that belong to Cathay United Bank (國泰世華銀行) if you face issues trying to withdraw local currency. I had run into problems withdrawing local currency with other bank ATMs in Taipei.
- Tipping: Not needed. Some restaurants charge 10% service fee but should be listed on menu, or server will tell you when taking order.
