About the brand ❤️
JCB (originally Japan Credit Bureau) is a major global credit card and payment network headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, with origins dating back to 1961. It was established to provide Japanese consumers with a domestic credit card system and later expanded internationally from the 1980s onward, forming alliances with financial institutions and payment networks worldwide. JCB cards are accepted at tens of millions of merchant locations across more than 160 countries and regions, and the brand works through issuing partners in many markets. The company also operates associated services such as premium airport lounges for select cardmembers. While its U.S. retail card issuing subsidiary ceased consumer account operations in 2018, the JCB brand continues robustly through partnerships and acceptance arrangements (e.g., with Discover Network in North America). Governed by a shareholder group that includes major Japanese banks and insurers, JCB remains one of the largest payment networks outside Visa and Mastercard, combining its Japanese heritage with a global payments footprint.
