USDC is a *stable currency jointly issued by the exchange giant Coinbase and the Cicle company under the Goldman Sachs Group. USDC is available in many countries around the world, including Taiwan, through ordinary banks.

For "purchasing USDC" and "in exchange with USD" in a bank in Taiwan, you would need to apply:

  1. Bank foreign currency account
  2. Circle account

Step 1: Apply for a foreign currency account

Please apply for a foreign currency account at your bank first. After you obtain a bank foreign currency account, please take notes of the bank's "SWIFT code", "bank English name" and "bank English address", which will be required when applying for a Circle account.

Step 2: Apply for a Circle account

Please note: Please use English to fill in the name and address of the Circle account. Please choose a passport for the license item. The name must be the same as the English name on your passport. The anti-counterfeit laser mark of the passport will reflect light and obscure the text at certain angles, so the mobile phone camera must obtain an appropriate angle to avoid it.

Circle USDC website (please use all English, use passport for ID, name must be the same as passport)

Message displayed when you just applied for an account and awaiting review:
Your account is currently under review. We will regularly check account information to protect your financial security and ensure Circle becomes a safe platform. After the account review is complete, you will receive an email from Circle. This process usually takes up to 2 working days. Thanks for your patience.
After the review, you will receive an email notification from Circle and you can start using the USDC deposit and withdrawal service.
Before purchasing USDC (tokenized U.S. dollar) through a bank, Circle will ask you to fill in the bank's foreign currency account information.
Generally, banks in Taiwan will charge a handling fee of TWD 300 for USDC deposits and withdrawals. The handling fee is paid to the bank instead of Circle.

Step 3: Buy USDC through the bank

After the account application is completed, Circle will provide you with a Circle personal USD account. To purchase USDC, you only need to use the bank's foreign currency account remittance service (recommended to use online banking, fast and convenient), transfer USD to the personal USD account provided by Circle, and USDC stable currency will appear in your Circle account after three to seven days.

Usually, Taiwan’s bank will call to ask you the source of this dollar.

Step 4: Exchange USDC back to U.S. dollars

It is very easy to use Circle to exchange USDC back into US dollars. Just fill in the amount of USDC to be withdrawn on Circle, and Circle will transfer the equivalent US dollars to your Taiwanese personal bank foreign currency account.
