NETWORKS LINKAGE JCBI, Arkea in strategic alliance
JCB International Co Ltd (JCBI), the international operations subsidiary of JCB Co Ltd and Arkea, a banking group with cooperative principles, has announced a strategic partnership alliance.
Arkea, in collaboration with face-to-face payment acceptance (payment terminals) or e-commerce sites, will now accept cardmembers of the JCB network.
All Arkea ATMs will also be integrated into the JCB network for cash withdrawals. Given the strong tourist attractions within the French territory, this will provide retail business partners with additional revenue potential.
Frederic Laurent, Deputy General Manager of Arkea in charge of the Innovation and Operations Cluster said deployment of Arkea-JCB partnership allows the company to enrich its offer of acceptance in terms of credit cards.
JCB is a leader in its market and offers high quality services to more than 130 million JCB cardmembers. Arkea's ambition is to support its clients, regardless of their typology, in the development of their projects. Enabling merchants to expand their customer base to JCB cardmembers is a truly international opportunity.
