Japanese global payment brand JCB Co, Ltd announced that JCB cardholders in China may now use their contactless cards to ride the subway systems in both Shanghai and Beijing without needing to buy tickets in advance.

Through this contactless service, JCB cardmembers can simply tap their contactless payment cards at the subway gates or designated readers to pay for fares quickly and conveniently.

This user-friendly service is now available for overseas travelers and can be used on all underground lines in both cities.
