JCB Corporate Cards offer high-security transactions with EMV(R) standard chip and 3D Secure technology. Cardholders can access JCB’s acceptance network with 35 million merchants worldwide, receive privileges at selected merchants, and enjoy customer service at JCB PLAZA, an overseas service counter. Additional cardholder features include a free lifetime annual fee, a loyalty point programme with 5 points for each VND 1,000 spent and interest-free periods of up to 55 days.

“The collaboration with JCB, a leading global credit card issuer, plays a significant measure in our strategic plan to become a versatile, modern and customer-oriented bank focused on individuals and SMEs,” said Ngo Quang Trung, CEO of Viet Capital Bank. “The Viet Capital Bank JCB Corporate Card improves on numerous features in the SME banking market. We believe the JCB Corporate Card will not only be a hit in the Vietnamese financial marketplace but also stimulate consumer interest in digital payments. Vietnamese consumer behaviour will require a trigger to accelerate the transformation from cash to cashless payments.”

We strongly believe this collaboration is just starting, with upcoming opportunities for another impressive year ahead, especially after the Covid-19 challenge.”
