The island nation has a whole ecosystem of bespoke payment cards, and you can even get one that looks like a floppy disk! It’s Not About The Money, Money, MoneyLike so many other countries with highly-developed public transport systems, Taiwan implemented a smartcard ticketing system many years ago. The new organization quickly established the card’s use as a widespread form of payment at a huge variety of stores across Taiwan. As iPASS cards continued to gain in popularity, companies started lining up to produce co-branded cards. Other novelty iPASS “cards” include a keychain-sized Taiwan Railways train and a Japanese shinkansen.
