The JCB card will be the first card with J/Speedy in the world. J/Speedy allows customers to pay quickly and easily by simply tapping the card – no signature is required.

J/Speedy is a contactless payment solution developed by sharing Visa Asia Pacific’s contactless specification for common merchant acceptance. It allows lower development costs for vendors and a more attractive value proposition for merchant investment in terminals and card readers.

Yuichi Momose, president and general manager of JCBI Taiwan, said: JCB is pleased to launch J/Speedy on the Breeze Center JCB Card, the first card with JCB’s global standarized contactless payment solution. I believe contactless payment is the key for shaping a new era in payments, and JCB is proud to take this first step toward that new era.
