Richart (by Taishin Bank) was launched in 2016 during a trend of “mobile first” banking services. It has won several awards: Best Mobile Banking (The Asian Banker, 2017), Best Digital Bank (Asiamoney, 2017), For its User Experience (Reddot, 2018), Next-Gen Customer Experience in Financial Services Awards, (Arena International, 2019), Eye on Innovation Awards (Gartner, 2019)…
