As per a press release, the payment service is expected to be rolled out at these locations through 2019.
J-Coin Pay enables customers to make payments, send, receive transfers, and conduct other financial transactions using their mobile phones. Moreover, users can also use the app to move funds between J-Coin Pay accounts and other deposit accounts at their respective banks without zero charges.
