In the initial stage, the virtual bank will focus on deposits, wire transfers, debit cards, and personal credit loans, LINE Bank said in a statement. Since being approved to launch an internet-only bank in Taiwan in 2019, LINE Bank has fully cooperated with regulators in terms of related inspections, and actively sought to have its businesses connected to regulatory systems.
