The aim of the alliance is to enable people from Japan, Korea, and Thailand to make payments utilising their local payment services while visiting Taiwan.
LINE Pay Taiwan chairman WoongJu Jeong said: “The mobile payment industry in Taiwan continues to grow.
“We hope to build a path for all LINE Pay users and merchant partners in Taiwan to transcend national borders and to share a borderless payment experience.”
The service will be effective in the first quarter of next year, with plans to increase the partner network later.
