JCB International Co., Ltd., the international arm of Japan’s only international payment brand, and Fiuu, a Southeast Asian fintech platform, have announced a direct acquiring partnership covering Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. The collaboration aims to strengthen JCB acceptance across online and offline channels, providing a seamless payment experience for merchants and JCB Cardmembers.
The partnership enables direct connectivity between JCB and Fiuu, supporting payment processing for both digital and physical commerce. This milestone comes as Southeast Asia’s digital payments landscape continues to evolve, with sustained growth in digital transactions and card usage. As consumers increasingly engage in both online and offline commerce, broad and reliable card acceptance becomes crucial.
“This milestone reflects the next phase of Fiuu’s regional acquiring growth. Businesses expanding across Southeast Asia need payment partners that can combine local market understanding, direct scheme connectivity, and operational depth. Our direct acquiring relationship with JCB strengthens that foundation, allowing us to support merchants with broader acceptance, greater consistency, and the confidence to serve customers across both digital and physical commerce,” said Eng Sheng Guan, CEO of Fiuu.
Shimpei Yamaguchi, Managing Director of JCB International Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., added: “We are delighted to partner with Fiuu as our Regional Acquirer for Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines. As Southeast Asia’s payments landscape continues to evolve rapidly, Fiuu’s regional expertise, fast-growing merchant network, and multi-channel payment capabilities make it an important partner in expanding JCB acceptance across this region. Together, we are committed to making JCB more accessible to merchants and cardmembers while expanding the payment network for JCB Cardmembers.”
JCB and Fiuu plan to explore additional markets, including Thailand, to further expand acceptance. The partnership is expected to benefit merchants and cardholders by increasing the number of locations where JCB cards are accepted.
Fiuu, formerly known as Razer Merchant Services, recorded a Total Payment Volume of over US$13 billion for FY2025, positioning it as one of the largest payment processors in Southeast Asia. The company supports over 110 payment methods and offers services across multiple countries. More information is available at fiuu.com.
