Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation

In support of the Financial Supervisory Commission's (FSC) Open Securities 2.0 initiative and its ongoing efforts to foster the FinTech ecosystem, TDCC, in collaboration with the Taiwan Futures Exchange (TAIFEX), the Taiwan Securities Association, and securities firms, has introduced two new digital services: Futures Data Inquiry via TDCC ePassbook App and the Online Financial Documents Transmission Service. The services were officially unveiled at a launch event held by TDCC on July 8, marking the formal rollout of Open Securities 2.0.

Mr. Bing-Huei Lin, Chairman of TDCC, emphasized that Open Securities 2.0 centers on the core concept of "Promoting Open Finance and Driving Dual Engines of Prosperity." By integrating resources across markets and institutions, the initiative aims to create more diverse and rich innovative financial application scenarios, and expand the service footprint of financial inclusion.

Expanded Asset Integration: Futures Data Now Available in the TDCC ePassbook App

The TDCC ePassbook App has become a comprehensive digital platform for investors to manage their financial assets, with more than 7.8 million registered securities accounts to date. Building on this vast user base, TDCC has partnered with TAIFEX to further integrate securities and futures market information. Through identity verification and authorization via TAIFEX’s "Trading Information Searching System for Futures Market," investors can now conveniently access their futures account information—including account opening details, position balances, and transaction records—directly within the TDCC ePassbook App. This one-stop platform brings together securities, mutual funds, banking, and futures positions in a single digital interface, significantly enhancing user convenience while advancing the goals of inclusive finance.

Open Data Center: Partnering with Eight Major Securities Firms to Enable Secure and Convenient, Online Financial Documents Transmission

Another core innovation of Open Securities 2.0 is driven by the "Open Data Center" mindset: the launch of the "Online Financial Documents Transmission Service," designed to reshape the digital financial experience. This feature seamlessly embeds essential application functionalities, such as adjusting trading limits or opening margin accounts, directly into the digital financial software of securities firms.

With just a few intuitive clicks, investors can securely authorize and transmit their asset holdings and transaction records from their other securities accounts online to the securities firm handling their application. This eliminates the need to submit paper documents in person and avoids the risks associated with sharing screenshots, such as incomplete information or potential data security concerns. The result is a faster, more secure, and seamless digital application experience. The first phase of the service is supported by eight major securities firms: Yuanta Securities, KGI Securities, Fubon Securities, SinoPac Securities, Cathay Securities, Capital Securities, E. Sun Securities, and Taiwan Cooperative Securities. The service is now available through all participating firms, representing another significant milestone in advancing Taiwan's securities market toward an open and connected financial ecosystem.
