Okay, thanks. I am confused with all those words like Maestro, MC, etc.
It mentioned that "Maestro/MC network availability at our DBS Taiwan ATMs will be suspended until further notice. As a result, you will not be able to perform transactions using MasterCard/Maestro cards on DBS Taiwan’s ATMs. You may wish to withdraw at other bank’s ATMs that display the MasterCard/Maestro logo. Alternatively, you may also use VISA/Plus cards to continue transacting at our ATMS in Taiwan."
So if I'm holding a DBS Visa Debit Card, I can still withdraw cash with DBS Taiwan ATM? Is my understanding right?
The current situation they said upgrading works. So i assume, the whole system is down and you risk not withdrawing cash. Telephone operators tell you this and that, but still it is you who will be left out in the cold without cash.So if I bring my Singapore issued DBS ATM card and withdraw from Taiwan DBS ATM machine, there is no extra charges?
I would feel that withdraw with your DBS/POSB ATM card at DBS ATM machine will be safer since no charges. Using visa or mastercard to withdraw may have some charges, who knows? In Singapore, normally I won't use my POSB mastercard to withdraw or make NETS payment over the counter also.
Some like the everyday card is tied to your account in Singapore. Worrying take it as cash advances, then really is die lor.
Thanks for the information. Maybe will change some there, since the rate is better? Thinking of opening a Citibank account, hope it works. But still can swipe with DBS Visa will be better, hope the service comes back soon.

Yes can swipe in the shopping center especially departmental stores.
But for those malls with individual shops you will have to check with the staff.

Can anyone help? Booked accommodations in Taiwan and they require me to transfer funds first. How do I transfer using ATM? Some gave me 郵局代碼 & 帳號,while some gave me bank name that I did not manage to find in the list of banks listed in ATM. Or I can simply go to the counter and ask them to transfer, instead of transferring using ATM? Any extra fee incurred? How does the currency thingy work? Do I inform them in TWD that I want to transfer? Thanks.
Even if they provide me with account from DBS, Maybank, HSBC, etc, but their branches are still in Taiwan, so I still cannot do transfer, right?
Btw, how does paypal works? Just apply with visa via https://www.paypal.com/sg/home, then I can use it to pay afterthat?
Will be converted to sgd at paypal rates.I found an accommodation that allowed PayPal. The person also sent me a link for me to proceed for payment after I mention I do not have PayPal, just key in card info will do. How is it deducted from my account, in term of currency rate?
Think pp got 5.x% processing fee.There is an option of choosing the bank rate. Will that be better? Is there other kinds of add on fee, admin fee, etc? The seller also added some PayPal fee to my accommodation fee.
