Transforming Government since 2001
Students in Taiwan will soon be able to pay their tuition online, thanks to an e-Government Payment System set up and promoted by the Research, Development and Evaluation Commission (RDEC) under the Executive Yuan.

Ho Chuan-teh, director of the RDEC Information Management Department, said more than 400 universities, colleges and schools have joined the system to allow students to pay their tuition and other fees through the RDEC system. Ho touted the system as a safe and convenient option for students and their parents.

Unlike other online payment systems, Ho said, the RDEC system encodes sensitive information passed between the sender and the receiver and makes the information indecipherable to servers relaying the information.

The system accepts "any valid means of payment," including credit cards, according to Ho.

The system was originally developed to allow taxpayers pay their taxes online, Ho went on.

He said the department hopes the system will be developed into a fully developed government treasury through which people can make online payment of any taxes and other government fees.
