JCB and Banco Santander have evolved their partnership to additionally support e-commerce exchange between JCB’s 140 million global cardmembers and Banco Santander’s online merchant portfolio in Spain.
This partnership with merchants and cardmembers a safe online purchase experience with JCB’s J/Secure(TM)1.0 (based on Visa’s 3-D Secure Core Protocol Specifications).
This secure platform enhances the online shopping experience, as it identifies cardmembers by requesting a password. J/Secure(TM) 2.0 (based on the EMV 3-D Secure Protocol and Core Functions Specification) is set to follow the additional expansion in future.
Rubén Justel, Managing Director at Santander España Merchant Services, said, “This new step on our fruitful partnership with JCB contributes to our vision to help our merchants increase their sales by accepting the most demanded means of payments, in addition to reaching more international clients from JCB issuing countries.”
Tsuyoshi Notani, Managing Director, JCB International (Europe) Ltd. said, “Partnering with Banco Santander has enabled us to further fulfil our promise to provide our card members with as many safe payment methods for international online transactions as possible. We are further delighted to be able to support Banco Santander’s merchants, as they welcome e-commerce trade while we have seen a decline in face-to-face sales in recent months. It is our hope that this collaboration will support recovery of the payment industry, especially in Spain, after the global COVID-19 pandemic.”
