Mr. Tsuyoshi Notani, Managing Director of JCB International (Europe) Ltd, said, “Not only is MoneyNetINT’s dedication to personal and efficient customer service in line with our ethos, the fact that it is enhancing the traditional bank acquiring space by offering a range of highly advanced, reliable and simple solutions for merchants makes it an ideal PSP partner for JCB as we grow our network across Europe. As a gateway to Asia, we can bolster MoneyNetINT’s offering to its SEPA-based merchant clients with the ability to engage with the growing number of Asian consumers who enjoy shopping online.”
Mr. Yishay Trif, CEO at MoneyNetINT, said, “We’re thrilled to announce the launch of this agreement between MoneyNetINT and JCB, a leading international payment brand. We believe together we can produce real added value for our customers, and advance financial services and technologies worldwide.”
