GHL Systems Berhad (GHL) and JCB International have formed a strategic partnership to allow GHL merchants in Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines to accept JCB Cards. This collaboration will expand GHL's payment solutions, offering seamless payment experiences for JCB card members across the region. The initiative is expected to benefit both merchants and customers, particularly with the anticipated rebound in tourism in 2024. The rollout of JCB card acceptance will begin in Malaysia, followed by Thailand and the Philippines.
- GHL's extensive merchant network, with over 480,000 payment touchpoints, will now accept JCB Cards, improving payment flexibility for both businesses and customers across multiple countries.
- With tourism expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2024, this partnership positions merchants to benefit from the anticipated increase in inbound tourist spending, especially in Asia.
- The partnership will commence in Malaysia in Q3 2024, followed by expansion into Thailand and the Philippines, aligning with GHL’s growth strategy and JCB’s broader international presence.
