JCB is a payment network similar to American Express, Visa or Mastercard. They have a strong presence in Japan and very little presence here. That being said they did offer a few U.S. based credit cards:
They weren’t hugely popular, but they did offer up to 3% cash back on all purchases so they were one of the best credit cards for every day purchases. Reader Alex F sent a tip in letting me know they are no longer accepting new applications. If you navigate to their website and click apply you’ll see the following message:
- As of January 3 2018, JCBUSA is no longer accepting new application of the product.
I think the fact that this happened several days ago and we are only just noticing it now speaks to how popular these cards were.
