Line Bank crash draws commission’s ireOVERLOAD? The virtual bank launched its banking service, integrated into the messaging app Line offered by its affiliate Line Taiwan Ltd (台灣連線), at about 5pm on Thursday, but users said they could not access the service. A screen shot taken on Thursday shows that services were temporarily unavailable due to a system crash after Line Bank started operation on that day. Calling the bank’s debit card “the best debit card in Taiwan,” Huang said it would reward cardholders with Line points immediately after they make payments using the card. The card could be used as a iPass card and be linked to Line Pay Money, an electronic payment service offered by the virtual bank’s affiliate LINE Biz+.
