Ah, I forgot one question. If I am the sole shareholder of the company and at the same time an employee, can I use the amount I invested in the company as proof of funds for CTBC (seems like HSBC allows it)? Didn’t want to invest a lot for a start, just over a million TWD. I tried not to put a lot of my personal savings in TWD since it keeps depreciating against the SGD, so my bank account balance in Taiwan is very low.

I think you can, if I remember they also looked at my company account but I already had the required amount in personal. You can just transfer money from your business account to personal to show them the funds in the account, then transfer it back to your business account again. That should be the easiest way to do it. They just want to tick a box that says you have enough.

I think yours will be the middle card out of the three?

Most expensive card gets, 18% off, middle 14%, lowest 8%

Unfortunately they’ve now reduced the discount in 2024. The maximum discount is now 11%, down from 18% for the top card, and 8% for the middle tier card, down from 14%. I will be looking to use the HSBC traveler card instead of CTBC now as I don’t think the top card is worth the renewal price.

That’s a bummer indeed
