as somebody mentioned, EACH withdrawal got limit, but you can insert card n withdraw again,
or no need so kiasu withdraw so much cash at once since you can pay by visa w Trust card at no fee and good rate.
and there's quite a few BOT atm in arrival hall and departure hall.
Just don't mixed up the normal ATM with the currency exchange ATM.

Does it matter if it's credit card or debit card? Thank you.

does not matter BUT you must choose "savings account" and also DO NOT choose "cash advance".
if you used other banks' ATM, some will show you their own lousy rate, choose "defer conversion" and it will dispense cash, at the best rate Trust gives.

If I want to withdraw from ATM, I need to pair it to my savings account.

If I want to pay for stuff using paywave, do I need pair the card to credit card?

Thank you

No.

Just keep the pairing to CC... The pairing is only meant to control where to deduct money from when u swipe/paywave your card... It won't affect ur atm withdrawal...

Cos at atm withdrawal will ask u which account u want to withdraw from. Always choose savings account...

Thank you so much for explaining! I am ditching youtrip for this upcoming trip.

Anyone know if Taoyuan airport exchange rate will be better than sg? Heading to taipei end of the month but the rate here seems not good. Also is it we can top up youtrip and withdraw from there at better rate? Any extra charges? TIA

Don't need to ditch if the card still able to use... Can keep as spare for any just in case scenarios...

I don't use YouTrip now but if u do a bit of reading in last few pages, most of us who are slightly more experienced in Taiwan travel will just withdraw NTD$ from atm using youtrip or Trust card...
