The FSC pointed out that the number of immigrants in Taiwan has reached nearly 570,000, and the minor children of the immigrants have an increasing demand for digital financial services.
Based on the principle of financial inclusion, and to enable the minor children of immigrants to develop correct financial management concepts through digital deposit accounts, The Bankers Association of The Republic of China is requested to study and revise the digital deposit model, the types of identification documents of legal representatives retained by banks, and add a new chip issued by the Immigration Department of the Ministry of the Interior to the ROC (Taiwan) Resident Certificate.
