Summary Electronic payment systems (EPS) in Taiwan have been developing on a fast-growing track. Due to a limited scale of the domestic market, however, EPS operation companies face the difficulties of system maintenance, expansion, and integration. To assure EPS operation companies have enough transaction volume and lower the cost of purchase and maintenance, this project, based on research results of two MOTC projects- “The Planning Guide for EPS Multi-functional Cards, Version 2” and “EPS Clearing & Settlement Core Module”, developed the interoperable standards for EPS in Taiwan. This project developed the Version 3(draft) of “The Planning Guide for EPS Multi-functional Cards” and proposed an integration plan for domestic EPSs following this specification. This project also recommended the payment system of Taiwan Railway Administration (TRA) as an example to study its standards requirement for integration with other EPSs. Several development strategies for payment card types and outsourcing issues of TRA’s EPS were proposed.
