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.
