TaipeiPASS, launched September 2020 as an upgrade of Taipei Card 3.0, bundles virtual ID cards (elder, love, library), municipal services, bill payment, and merchant discounts into one login open to non-residents too. It reached roughly 4 million registered users by November 2024, though its discount-partner count fell from 646 shops in 2023 to 233.
