Shopee adds JCB International as new payment option

They will offer year-round and seasonal discounts.

Shopee and Japan-based payment brand JCB International have entered into a regional agreement to provide online merchants and shoppers with enhanced payment options in Southeast Asia, according to a press release.

Through this collaboration, the two brands will jointly provide quality e-commerce and payments services for the Southeast Asian market.

The partnership will launch in July in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, followed by Singapore and the Philippines in the following months. JCB will offer year-round and seasonal discounts and an additional payment method for shoppers. Shopee will also promote participating stores that support JCB.

With more Southeast Asian consumers going online through their mobile, Shopee has been focussed on driving digital payments in the region. In 2019, Shopee launched ShopeePay, its own integrated mobile wallet.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
