My employer (remote) is asking me for a “7 digit bank routing code” that is supposedly provided by “all taiwanese banks”. However, to my best understanding, we are only provided with account number, swift code, branch code and bank code. Is the routing code = “bank code concatenated with branch code”? Has anyone else faced this situation?
Where is your employer based? 7 digits I’m assuming UK?
I think the 7 digit means bank code (3 digits) + branch code (4 digits)
The Bank/Branch Codes (Taiwan) are assigned by the Financial Supervisory Commission within the Banking Bureau and consist of 3 digits representing the bank code followed by the 4 numeric digits representing the branch code (some of the bank codes contain the letter “R” which stands for Representative Office).

Branch code is usually the first 4 digit of your account number.
Thanks, I think this is right. I can’t believe several bank employees couldn’t help me out with this…

Standard bullshit. They also refuse to find Swift codes for banks.

Why are workers in Taiwan act this way? I can never understand it. It’s like trying very hard for you to come back and visit again. This is more reason they need to go digital on everything.

They can’t be wrong. So they say it’s not possible. It’s basic face saving gambit.
A very bad trait and stagnate growth. Their loss.
