Many have turned to other lines of business or closed up shop altogether. Pawnshops in southern Taiwan have reportedly come up with "drive thru" service. The whole process is shrouded in secrecy. The client doesn't even have to get out of his or her car, but merely leaves the collateral at a window to be verified as genuine and then assessed for value, after which cash is immediately paid out.
據了解，有南部業者發展「得來速」服務，典當過程隱密，典當人免下車，只要將典當物品交由特定窗口鑑定，確認為真品後當場鑑價，隨即一手交錢一手交貨，典當人無曝光之虞，此一創舉頗受好評。
