PJSCB Orient Finans, JCB to start merchant acquiring operations across Uzbekistan

PJSCB Orient Finans has become the first bank in Uzbekistan to launch merchant acquiring operations for JCB, Japan's only international payment brand. After implementing merchant acquiring operations in autumn 2020, JCB cardholders traveling to Uzbekistan will be able to make payments at merchants using their JCB cards, as well as withdraw cash using the Bank's ATM network throughout the Republic of Uzbekistan.

This partnership will also allow merchants in the Orient Finans Bank acquiring network to gain new sales opportunities with the global financial brand through its traditional merchant acquiring and ecommerce transactions.

Founded in 2010, private joint-stock commercial bank ‘Orient Finans’ (Orient Finans Bank) is a full-fledged universal financial institution in the banking services market in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Orient Finans Bank will start the acceptance of JCB to expand the possibilities of servicing the international payment cards.
