Banking in Taiwan

Although for the most part, banking in the US and Taiwan are very similar there are some things that are different.  Again we see all of the employees in uniform at both banks that I visited.  They also have a computer check in system.  Instead of standing in line at the teller window, you check in at the PC and pull up what services you need.  You are then assigned a number, and you wait to be called on, much like the deli line that we are used too.  Both bank managers were very nice, and the second bank manager in Hualien is a former New Yorker, as Chang Hwa Bank has branches world wide.  He was in fact in the world trade center on the 32nd floor when the first plane hit on September 11th 2001. 

This was the Bank Manager who was in the World Trade Center.
