Cardholders can download and register Taiwan Pay to add their cards to use HCE VISA Card service. HCE VISA Card is a virtual Visa Debit Card with a set of virtual code, the same expiration date as the physical card. Once the physical card becomes lost, terminated, or expired, HCE VISA Card will also be registered as lost or invalid.
Card Features:
Cardholders can tap to pay and scan to pay through HCE VISA Card at worldwide physical or online stores with the VISA logo or QR Code. However, HCE VISA Card is accepted where Postal Visa Debit Card is accepted. Some stores, such as PX Mart, Family Mart, 7-11, etc., accept certain cards due to their contracts with banks. Currently, HCE VISA Card is not yet cooperating with such stores. Scan to Pay is also enabled for certain credit card bills and utility bills.
