Guide to Taiwan’s financial services industry

The financial services industry is crucial to the functioning of economies worldwide and the well-being and livelihoods of people everywhere. It’s also constantly evolving due to regulatory developments, technological advancements and changing consumer behaviours, which compels market players to adapt or be left behind.

 At PwC, we focus on the future of financial services, effectively working with clients as they re-evaluate their strategies in light of market changes, while advising on key issues such as the impact of risk and regulation, cyber and financial crime, new financial technologies and innovation, and the changing face of the customer.

In Taiwan, our multi-disciplinary financial services practice provides assurance, tax, legal and advisory services to both domestic and multinational organisations across the banking, capital markets, asset management and insurance sectors, helping them to navigate and keep pace with the ever-changing local financial landscape.

This special publication, updated in March 2025, provides a concise, high-level overview of Taiwan’s financial services industry and its constituent sectors, including the latest innovation-related developments. It serves as a useful introductory guide for those interested to know more about and better understand this growing market.

A key development to note is the Taiwan government’s current policy push to expand the financial services industry by relaxing regulations and enhancing product diversity, with a goal of positioning Taiwan as a regional asset management hub, which will create new growth and market-entry opportunities for financial businesses.
