SET

Send money home from Taiwan through a remittance app built specifically for the island's migrant workers, with cash pickup available at 7-Eleven, FamilyMart and other convenience stores. About SET: SET is a Taiwan-registered remittance app (SET Co., Ltd.) built specifically for Taiwan's large migrant worker population — over 700,000 workers from the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, who collectively remit an estimated US$4 billion home each year. It runs on settlement partnerships with Taishin Bank, King's Town Bank and Western Union, letting registered users send money by bank deposit or cash pickup, and later added an online shop for daily goods and community events for Taiwan's migrant worker communities. Key Features: Cash Pickup or Bank Deposit: Send money to the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia or Thailand by direct bank deposit or cash pickup at the recipient's end. Convenience Store Access: Complete a remittance in person at 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life or OK Mart, not just through a bank branch. Fast Registration and Transfer: Sign-up is designed to take about a minute, with funds typically received within a few minutes of sending. Community and Marketplace Features: Beyond remittance, SET runs an online shop for goods like phone cards and daily supplies, and organizes offline community events for migrant workers. How to Get Started: Download the SET app and register using your Alien Resident Certificate (ARC). Complete identity verification within the app. Choose your destination country and transfer method (bank deposit or cash pickup), and enter the amount to send. Complete the transfer at a supported convenience store or through the app, and track the transaction status. Important Notice: SET currently supports remittances to the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand specifically — it is built around Taiwan's largest migrant worker communities rather than covering every country, so confirm your destination is supported before relying on it.
