The bank could save NT$960,000 (US$33,761) per year if 10,000 cardholders who receive paper bills opted for digital bills, he said. “We must offer paper bills unless customers opt out of the service. Over a year, that accumulates to 900 million bills, Hu said, adding that about 70 percent of credit card users receive paper bills. “Paper bills are an environmental issue Taiwan needs to work on,” he said.
