Can jcb credit card be used in China?

It can be used, but there are certain restrictions on using JCB credit cards in China. The following are the specific circumstances:

1. If the cardholder’s domestic merchant has a cooperative relationship with the JCB settlement organization, he or she can use the JCB credit card for consumption in foreign currency. Large supermarkets, high-end hotels, duty-free shops and other merchants that cooperate with JCB settlement organizations can usually accept JCB credit card payments.

2. If the cardholder’s JCB credit card is a UnionPay and JCB dual-logo card, payment can be made through the UnionPay channel. Generally speaking, for JCB cards issued abroad, you need to find a merchant with the JCB logo to swipe the card in China and process it as a foreign card; while JCB cards issued domestically are usually UnionPay and JCB dual-currency cards, which are acceptable in China.

The settlement currencies of JCB credit cards are generally Japanese yen and RMB, but there are exceptions. For example, Chibi Maruko-chan JCB credit card issued by China Merchants Bank is settled in US dollars. Therefore, cardholders should consult the card issuing bank to clarify the settlement currency when applying for a card.
