Stock Gift Card – First FinTech regulatory sandbox project of 2026 successfully completed; FSC encourages continued innovation
The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) has completed regulatory amendments to formally launch the "Stock Gift Card" business to the public, following the successful conclusion of SinoPac Securities Corporation's FinTech regulatory sandbox experiment in April 2026. The experiment, which began in April 2025, recorded a total redemption value of nearly NT$60 million, attracted over 90,000 participants, and led to the opening of nearly 50,000 new securities accounts. To facilitate this, the FSC accepted the "Self-Regulatory Guidelines for Securities Firms Issuing Stock Gift Cards" from the Taiwan Securities Association in March 2026. The FSC encourages other financial institutions to pursue financial innovation through sandbox experiments or business trials.
