Bank choice
Can a bank helps us save money ? YES, that's possible with N26 for example. I talk about this bank because I have been using it for my entire stay in Taiwan, this bank allows you to realize a lot of savings. To give you an idea, some examples :
Smart savings : at each transaction, it rounds up the amount to the next Euro, then automatically places the collected change on a dedicated space. A bit like the porcelain pig at the entrance of your apartment.
Daily savings : when you have a premium account, there are no additional costs (withdrawals, payments, transfers, etc.), especially abroad 😉
An included insurance : you will benefit from an included insurance and assistance covering a lot of scenarios (cancellation of the stay, plane delay, loss of luggage, theft of your money after a withdrawal at the counter, etc.) but also the health costs for the first 6 months abroad !
And many other advantages that I let you discover here -> N26*

⚠️ Regarding cash withdrawals, few ATMs allow you to do it without fees, as not all of them work with the Mastercard system. The only 2 institutions that I know of, without fees, are Megabank and Cathay United. For the others, you have to pay an extra 100NTD (3 euros) per transaction. It is the local bank that charges, not N26.
