What examiners usually ask first in a Taiwan fintech visit
Before diving into transaction samples, supervisors often ask for a plain account of who owns each control and how exceptions escalate.
When a Taiwan supervisory team sits down with a fintech management group, the opening minutes rarely jump to transaction extracts. Examiners usually ask who owns each control, how exceptions escalate after hours, and whether the organisational chart in the licence file matches the people in the room.
Teams that answer with product marketing decks lose the first hour. A clearer approach is a one-page ownership map: control name, policy reference, day-to-day owner, backup, and the last date the control was tested internally. Keep the map boring. Examiners prefer boring.
Second, expect a request for the last three material incidents — including near-misses that never reached customers. If your incident log only captures outages and ignores complaint spikes or settlement breaks, rebuild it before the visit. Audits for fintech readiness often surface this gap early; fixing the log is cheaper than explaining silence mid-meeting.
Third, prepare a walk-through of how a single high-risk customer was onboarded end to end. Choose a real file. Redact carefully, but do not invent a perfect specimen. Examiners notice when every sample looks freshly polished.
If you want an external rehearsal of these openers, our compliance readiness audit includes interview practice with the same questions we hear in the field.
