Really concerned about this one. Not only Fubon is not exactly among my favorites but I know what a PIB they can be to foreigners. I’d like to be pleasantly surprised if they did not give us grief regarding the Costco card.

So far tbh with fubon have a pretty good relationship. Applied to their TW mobile card, they gave it to me right away without any fuss. True, not very high limit (60k), but I use it only for my phone plan and adding petrol to the car (5% cash back on that).
The app is a bit shite, as the website, for graphics, but it works.

One trend I’ve noticed is usually the bank taking over from Costco is a pain in the butt to foreigners but afterwards becomes foreigner friendly due to the pressure Costco puts on them to act such.
Cathay used to be the worst. Originally they wanted foreigners to make $1.5M NT a year which pretty much just was for rich expats sent here from overseas. Now they give Costco credit cards to foreigners like candy

CTBC issued the Costco cards before Cathay and they’re still a pain in the butt
But I wasn’t around when they issued them, maybe they were better at that time?

Applied for and got a CTBC card through Global mall, probably the easiest card to apply for and one of the best money savers with the free parking in their malls!
The other OP is referring to the fact that CTBC doesn’t let us foreigners use ARC numbers as ID numbers, they give BS madeup ID numbers which do not match, and if u r unlicky enough (like me) to have both an account and a credit card eith them, the IDs are not the same, so u need 2 log ins. Also, since the ARC is basically not showing anywhere, u can’t use as a foreigneir CTBC accounts to verify ur identity. Like how stupidly mobile carriers still do now

The ones in nanjing east rd sec 5 in Taipei yes, the ones near dahu park in neihu, Taipei, they r acrually rather nice. Opened my account without too much fuss when I said I just wanted the line points😂
The ones in Fengyuan are a bloody nightmare

the world card is very stupid… no real actual justification for the steep annual fee or huge annual fee waiver.
Titanium card it is. Let’s send a good old letter application to Fubon.

Any more thoughts about the CUBE card? Is it useful?
Does anyone have the link for the paper application form? I haven’t been able to find it
found it

Seems decent for cashback and openpoints, so if u shop a lot with icashpay at 7-11 seems a decent card. If u opt for the electronic statement the card is free, and u can have it eith easycard function too
Icashpay website
Anyways, it’s connected to a CC.
Ok, I said something incorrect, refer below:
Icashpay not supported for the extra cashback, but only openpoint wallet… Christ, they make it so complicated these mofos
