Japan’s JCB International and Arab Bank have announced the launch of JCB merchant acquiring operations across Jordan.
This collaboration will allow JCB cardmembers to make payments seamlessly through Arab Bank’s point-of-sale (POS) terminal network.
Yacoub Matouk, Head of Consumer Banking at Arab Bank, stated:
“Through this cooperation with JCB, we aim to expand the electronic payment methods in Jordan.”
He added:
“At Arab Bank, we continue to offer innovative banking solutions and services that meet diverse needs and align with our digital transformation strategy to reinforce the digital banking services both locally and regionally.”
Yuichiro Kadowaki, Managing Director of JCB CARD INTERNATIONAL (SOUTHASIA), commented:
“Jordan is one of the most attractive travel destinations for JCB cardmembers. With the Kingdom’s iconic sites, such as Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world, and the Dead Sea, the country is a very interesting tourist destination, and I am delighted that we have entered into this partnership with Arab Bank. This will indeed cater to both the business and tourist needs of our cardmembers.”
The partnership is expected to enhance payment convenience for JCB cardholders visiting Jordan, while also supporting the country’s efforts to expand digital payment infrastructure.
