icash

icash is a Taiwanese prepaid stored-value smart card and electronic wallet brand operated by icash Corp. (愛金卡股份有限公司), an affiliate of the Uni-President Group and closely tied to the 7-Eleven convenience-store network run by President Chain Store Corporation. The card functions as a prepaid stored-value instrument: users buy a card, load value onto it, and then tap to pay for small purchases, replacing cash and speeding up checkout. According to Chinese Wikipedia, icash has no expiry date, can be purchased, topped up and spent at 7-Eleven stores and other locations, and carries a stored-value ceiling of NT$10,000. The brand has evolved through two main generations. The original icash 1.0 was provided by Jin Cai Tong Business Technology and issued by 7-Eleven (President Chain Store Corporation). The successor icash 2.0 is issued by icash Corp. itself and is the version promoted across the official website, with features such as card registration, automatic top-up, co-branded cards with partner issuers, and a mobile icash 2.0 / icash Pay offering. The official site organizes the product around card introduction, how to buy, how to top up, how to use, balance and transaction-history queries, and customer service. Beyond the basic payment card, icash has developed a strong collectible and licensing business. The official website's new-card section showcases themed icash 2.0 cards tied to video games, films, sports figures and entertainment properties — for example a "燕雲十六聲" game card, a Godzilla classic-movie-scenes card, Uni-Lions baseball cheering bat cards, and athlete collaboration cards for Kuo Hsing-chun and Chen Nien-chin. These cards are often bundled with in-game virtual items, points, or lottery/signing-event entries, turning the card itself into a fan collectible. The site also promotes seasonal campaigns such as back-to-school rewards, department-store anniversary presales, and public-transport commuter discounts under TPASS 2.0. For businesses, icash offers customized corporate cards that can carry a company's own design, serve as a membership or loyalty card, or double as an employee ID for attendance and access control. The company also provides corporate gift-value top-up services. Customer service is split between the icash service center for card issues and the OPENPOINT service center for points-related matters, reflecting integration with the Uni-President OPENPOINT loyalty ecosystem. icash Pay, the mobile payment extension, is noted as usable in South Korea as well as Taiwan.

icash emerged as Taiwan's convenience-store stored-value card, created for the 7-Eleven network operated by President Chain Store Corporation under the Uni-President Group. The first generation, icash 1.0, was provided by Jin Cai Tong Business Technology and issued by 7-Eleven, according to Chinese Wikipedia. It was designed as a prepaid stored-value card that let customers pay for small purchases without cash, reducing the time and handling involved in cash transactions. The brand moved to a second generation, icash 2.0, issued by icash Corp. (愛金卡股份有限公司), the dedicated company behind the brand. The official website presents icash 2.0 as the core product, with a broader feature set than the original: card registration, automatic top-up, co-branded cards with partner issuing institutions, and a mobile icash 2.0 / icash Pay service. The site's navigation covers card introduction, how to buy, how to top up, how to use, warranty service, electronic invoices, bonus points, and balance and transaction-history queries, showing the maturation of the product into a full payment and service platform. A distinctive part of icash's development has been its collectible and licensed card business. The official website's new-card listings show a steady stream of themed icash 2.0 cards tied to video games, films, sports and entertainment. Examples include a card for the game Yanyun Sixteen Sounds, a Godzilla classic-movie-scenes card spanning the Showa, Heisei and Reiwa eras, a Uni-Lions cheering-bat card with recorded cheerleader voices, and athlete collaboration cards for weightlifter Kuo Hsing-chun and boxer Chen Nien-chin. These cards frequently bundle virtual items, points, or entries into signing and lottery events, making the card a fan collectible as much as a payment tool. icash also built out a business-to-business offering. The official site describes customized corporate cards that companies can design with their own artwork, use as membership or loyalty cards, or combine with systems to serve as employee IDs for attendance and access control. A separate corporate gift-value top-up service is also offered. Customer service is divided between the icash service center for card matters and the OPENPOINT service center for points, reflecting integration with the Uni-President OPENPOINT loyalty program. The brand's reach extends beyond physical cards. Chinese Wikipedia notes that icash Pay, the mobile payment extension, can be used in South Korea as well as Taiwan. The official site promotes campaigns such as back-to-school rewards, department-store anniversary presales, and public-transport commuter discounts under TPASS 2.0, positioning icash within everyday transit and retail spending. Across its generations, icash has grown from a simple 7-Eleven stored-value card into a multi-channel electronic wallet and collectible-card brand anchored in Taiwan's largest convenience-store and retail ecosystem.
