NEWTAIPAY (New Taipei Mobile Payment App)

Back to Hall of Fame

The New Taipei City Government is guided by a human-centric and technology-driven philosophy, with a focus on meeting the needs of its citizens. In an effort to help residents transition to a post-pandemic new way of life, the city has made the digital economy a core development focus and introduced the "NewTaiPAY" mobile payment app. In alignment with the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions, the city utilizes an incentive mechanism to distribute New Taipei Dollars to encourage municipal interaction. This initiative integrates various payment methods in both the digital and physical realms, creating a zero-contact new economic model. It not only revitalizes local businesses but also prioritizes sustainable development, fostering innovative and low-carbon business models.
