What Is JCB?

JCB (Japan Credit Bureau) is a prominent global payment brand, originating in Japan. It offers credit card services and is widely accepted across Asia and other parts of the world. Known for its strong presence in Japan, JCB cards are also popular in countries such as China, South Korea, and Taiwan. The card is issued in multiple countries, making it a preferred payment method for millions of users worldwide.

How Does JCB Work?

JCB cards function similarly to other credit cards. They can be used for in-store purchases by swiping or tapping at point-of-sale terminals. For online transactions, users can enter their card details on the payment page to complete their purchases. JCB is also integrated into various digital wallets and can be used for peer-to-peer transfers and remittances.
