JCB International, the international operations subsidiary of JCB Co., has announced a new phase in its collaboration with PAYONE – a joint venture of Worldline, a global leader in payment services – and the DSV Group, Competence Centre Payment of Sparkassen-Finanzgruppe.
The next phase of this partnership is focused on providing JCB’s 154 million-plus cardmembers and PAYONE’s merchant partners across Germany and Austria with greater convenience in both in-store contactless and e-commerce transactions – with JCB Contactless and J/Secure enablement.
PAYONE provides cashless payment transaction services to 277,000 merchants across diverse industries including popular supermarket chains, sports and lifestyle goods, esteemed restaurants and luxury vehicle brands, to name just a few. At the core of both JCB Contactless and J/Secure lies simplicity and security. The rollout of these payment solutions will provide a frictionless platform for future relationship building, which further facilitates the quick and easy exchange of goods and services between cardmembers and merchants alike.
The partnership also aims to provide an extra layer of protection and assurance to JCB’s over 154 million cardmembers who wish to use their card when travelling abroad. JCB Contactless complies with the EMV international standard for chip cards, using complex analysis to ensure the highest level of security for each transaction. JCB’s J/Secure authentication programme for cardless transactions makes online commerce even more secure by adding an important identification step that enables cardmembers to directly authenticate their card with the issuer.
