In order to offer the same convenience and services to JCB cardmembers wherever they may be, we have tirelessly worked to increase the overall number of JCB merchant establishments worldwide. After beginning our international expansion program in 1981, we began to recruit merchants in destinations frequently visited by Japanese tourists. Our gradual expansion, which paralleled the increasing number of Japanese tourists traveling overseas, firmly established the global presence of the JCB brand.
