Most Taiwanese will have the "Unified Invoice Redemption App" of the Ministry of Finance (MOF, 財政部) on their mobile phones. This APP can store invoices in the cloud and consumers no longer have to fill their wallets with paper invoices. Margaret shared that she did not use this app when she first came to Taiwan, and she had to keep all her paper invoices and then later forget to check the winning numbers.  Now it is very convenient for her to use the APP when she buys something, she only needs to take out her mobile phone, and the automatic function helps her not forget to check the winning numbers.

In terms of transportation, if you live in Taiwan, you must have the Taiwan Railways and the Taiwan High Speed Rail apps. One can check the time, frequency, and even buy tickets for friends. After buying tickets for others, the tickets can be divided and sent to their mobile phones for them to use. One can also use the QR code on the mobile phone to enter and exit the station.

After the Line pay is linked to the credit card, it can be used for online shopping or in physical stores tied up with Line pay. If one forgets to bring money, he or she can directly use Line pay to pay. And after downloading and setting up the “Unified Invoice Redemption App”, it will automatically link and store the invoices in the cloud. It’s like killing two birds with one stone when shopping and is very convenient. For more related videos, please follow "Jay Life Channel"
