PINTrust is showcasing at MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona, Spain, an innovative interactive shortcode service this coming February. The MWC is the largest mobile communications event in the world that brings together the latest innovations in global communications technologies.
PINTrust’s interactive shortcode service reshapes the trust relationship between enterprises and consumers through a two-way, real-name platform with enterprise-side KYC (Know Your Customer). It empowers the public’s ability to verify the source of shortcodes, and thus effectively eliminating fraudulent activities and significantly contributing to societal communication security.
The service is formed with close collaborations among Taiwan’s three major telecommunications operators (Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, and Far EasTone), and with the indispensable support of the Taiwan Telecommunications Industry Development Association (TTIDA). These critical partners’ collective efforts have enabled PINTrust to grow rapidly and bring Taiwan’s innovative technology to the international stage.
PINTrust has attracted fundings from Whitesun Capital, the Development Bank of Japan, the National Development Fund, and a number of corporate venture funds to grow a wide range of applications, including areas such as culture, government events, election campaigns, sports events, online live broadcasts, and real-time media voting. This marks a new way of interacting with the public and provides businesses with a new solution to avoid identity fraud.
The appearance of PINTrust at MWC Barcelona is not only a major achievement for the company itself but also marks a big step forward in the field of communications security.

Taiwan's Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) said Saturday that she would not be intimidated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), following reports that Chinese agents planned to ram her car during a visit to the Czech Republic last year. "I had a great visit to Prague & thank the Czech authorities for their hospitality & ensuring my safety," Hsiao said on social media platform X. "The CCP's unlawful activities will NOT intimidate me from voicing Taiwan's interests in the international community," she wrote. Hsiao visited the Czech Republic on March 18 last year as vice president-elect and met with Czech Senate leadership, including
There have been clear signs of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) attempts to interfere in the nationwide recall vote on July 26 in support of Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislators facing recall, an unnamed government official said, warning about possible further actions. The CCP is actively involved in Taiwanese politics, and interference in the recall vote is to be expected, with multiple Chinese state media and TAO attempts to discredit the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and undermine public support of their recall movement, the official said. This interference includes a smear campaign initiated this month by a pro-Beijing Hong Kong news outlet against

A first shipment of five tons of Taiwan tilapia was sent from Tainan to Singapore on Wednesday, following an order valued at NT$600,000 (US$20,500) placed with a company in the city. The products, including frozen whole fish and pre- cooked fish belly, were dispatched from Jiangjun Fishing Harbor, where a new aquatic processing and logistics center is under construction. At the launch, Tainan Mayor Huang Wei-che (黃偉哲) called the move a “breakthrough,” marking Taiwan’s expansion into the Singaporean tilapia market. Taiwan’s tilapia exports have traditionally focused on the United States, Canada, and the Middle East, Huang said, adding that the new foothold in
