AEA branches across the country held the auction on April 3, kicking off the mobile payment service at the same time. The beeping sound never stopped in the meanwhile. Auction amount soon reached NT$35,974,496. In response to the mobile payment trend, AEA branches across the country started activating in sequence the mobile payment service device via Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay (Android Pay), and Taiwan Pay between January and March, 2018. The aim is to provide the general public with a more convenient mode of payment. As the mobile payment service was launched for the first time at all AEA branches, civilians participating in the auction became more actively involved as a result. The effect was outstanding.
