JCB Co., Ltd., Japan’s only international payment brand, announced that it enabled Google Pay for its customers on September 6, 2024. Android(TM) smartphone users can now use Google Pay in stores where JCB Contactless is accepted, by adding their credit/debit cards issued by the JCB Group in Japan to Google Pay. To use Google Pay, you will need to download the Google Wallet app and add your JCB Card.

JCB plans to extend this support to other JCB brand card issuers both in Japan and other markets.
