Bank AlJazira has partnered with Japanese card company JCB International to launch JCB acceptance through its POS and ATM network devices deployed in Saudi Arabia.
The Islamic bank’s partnership with JCB, whose cards are used by over 140 million customers globally, is part of the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision, according to Abdulaziz Alafaleg, the managing director of Saudi Payments, the national foundation of digital payments.
“As part of our engagement to introduce advanced payment services and features across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and continuous efforts to enhance the ecosystem’s competitiveness, the enablement of globally renowned international payment schemes such as JCB to operate in Saudi Arabia emerges as an important driver to help us reach our endeavors to offer multiple options for the kingdom’s residents and visitors,” Abdulaziz commented.
