Taiwan's first company focusing on "public technology"Oen Support Technology (New Startup)Today (January 21), the company announced its 2025 operating results and future strategy. This platform, which was previously known for serving political donations and charitable fundraising, has now quietly transformed. Data shows that the number of transactions on its platform reached 328 million in 2025, with an annual growth rate of 225%.
Oen Support Technology not only announced the completion of its Series A funding round, but also set a goal of listing on the Innovation Board within three years, with the earliest listing expected in 2027 or 2028. Looking ahead to 2026, it will focus on three major directions: "AI-driven payment," "cybersecurity governance," and "international expansion," attempting to upgrade the role of third-party payment from a simple payment tool to a key infrastructure supporting the "support economy."
Stripping away the labels, business transactions account for over 70%.
Although it started by assisting non-profit organizations and candidates with their cash flow, Oen's operational data in 2025 showed that cash flow transactions from commercial organizations accounted for as much as 74.7% of the total. This means that the platform's application scenarios have expanded significantly to physical consumer sectors such as taxis, beauty industry, 3C products, fitness courses, and even auto parts modification.
Currently, Oen has approximately 3500 customers, representing an annual growth of nearly 192%. To further expand its ecosystem, Oen has also announced a partnership with StockFeel to create a cross-platform points ecosystem, and is integrating its technology with NewebPay, while also penetrating the retail market through the Blueberry system.
The first conversational MCP server for financial transactions: AI not only chats with you, but also collects money.
In terms of technology implementation, Oen has already achieved the following functions:
• MCP Server (Model Context Protocol):this isTaiwan's first "conversational payment module"In short, it allows AI assistants to understand and directly call the payment API. In the future, during conversations with AI, it can directly help you complete the checkout. Official closed beta data shows that it can save about 40% of the operation time.
• Oen Atoms and Two-Way Customer Service:AI enables "one-click store creation," automating everything from product listing to payment processing. The AI Agent is divided into "warm companionship for consumers" and "business assistant for businesses," with the former providing emotional value to fans and the latter helping merchants monitor community engagement and inventory.
• Partnering with Visa for Click to Pay:Becoming Asia PacificThe first business to fully integrate this service across all platformsThis makes the payment experience more seamless across devices.
In addition, Oen also announced the launch of the "Oen Points" points system, emphasizing cross-platform compatibility and points accumulation with each purchase, attempting to retain fans through the points economy.
Expanding into Japan and exporting Taiwan's "cheering culture".
Oen's ambitions extend beyond Taiwan. The briefing explicitly states that Oen plans to formally establish a subsidiary in Japan as a bridge for cross-border cooperation between Taiwan and Japan.
The initial collaboration will partner with Japan's "for Good!" platform to establish a cross-border charity zone between Taiwan and Japan (such as disaster reconstruction and cultural preservation). Through AI-powered multilingual real-time translation, language barriers will be broken down, and Taiwan's mature MCP AI store opening module and cybersecurity standards will be exported to the Japanese market.
Holding a key position in the third-party payment association, he emphasized cybersecurity governance.
For third-party payment providers, compliance is the bottom line for survival. Hsiao Hsin-sheng, co-founder of Oen Technology, currently serves as the chairman of the "Startup and Cybersecurity Committee" of the Third-Party Payment Services Association of the Republic of China. He emphasized that 2026 is a window of opportunity for the industry to undergo a "qualitative change," and Oen will demonstrate innovation and risk control in parallel, while adhering to compliance, fraud prevention, and money laundering prevention.
Analysis of viewpoints
Oen's transformation path is quite interesting and indicative. Initially, the public's impression of it was mostly limited to "election fundraising platform", but data proves that it has successfully soft-landed in the broader red ocean of commercial payments and is trying to carve out a path in a market dominated by giants such as Green World and Blue New.
Unlike traditional payment providers, Oen sells not just the underlying "transaction channel," but also the upper-level "supporter relationship" (CRM). This is particularly popular among VTubers, independent creators, or the fan economy because these scenarios sell "identity" rather than one-time purchases of goods.
As for importing MCP Servers to allow AI Agents to directly process payments, this is a rather forward-thinking step. When future shopping scenarios may occur in ChatGPT or various AI assistant dialog boxes, whoever can solve the last mile of "AI agent payment" first will have the opportunity to define the next generation of payment standards.
From completing its Series A funding round to announcing its intention to list on the Innovation Board within three years (approximately 2027-2028), Oen demonstrates its ambition in the capital market. If it can successfully export this AI-powered payment and "fan support" model to Japan, a market with a similarly strong fan support culture, it will be a major highlight of Taiwanese FinTech's overseas expansion, proving that Taiwanese software startups have the capability to export "infrastructure-level" solutions.
