Citibank is to extend its partnership with JCB
International (JCBI) by adding JCB credit card merchants in
nine countries and territories throughout Asia.
JCB will be accepted in all of Citibank’s acquiring markets in
the region enabling the bank’s merchant base to accept JCB cards
across the region including their merchants in Hong Kong, Vietnam
and Indonesia.
“South East Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan are some of the most
important markets for JCB because of the strong growth and
increased retail spending,” said Kimihisa Imada, deputy president
of JCBI.
“We are delighted to commence a business tie with such an
influential institution as Citibank, which has strong networks
across these important markets.”
The alliance means Citibank will be the only provider of
acquiring services to merchants for all major credit card brands in
the world in the markets across Asia Pacific.
Citibank is aiming to complete the acceptance of the JCB credit
cards at all of its merchants within the next 18 months.
