Leading hypermarket chain accepts JCB Cards at all its outlets in UAE
 
Carrefour, the leading hypermarket chain, part of MAF Hypermarkets, a company of Majid Al Futtaim; and Network International, the most comprehensive and preferred card solutions provider in the Emirates, have entered into an alliance that will see JCB cards accepted at all Carrefour outlets across the UAE.

With the new development, more than 58 million Card members will be able to shop at Carrefour and pay using their JCB Cards. The alliance with Network International makes this possible as it offers comprehensive card management solutions through its state-of-the-art card payments system infrastructure. Network International concluded its acquiring agreement with JCB International in December 2006.

“JCB delivers an incredible value to customers the world over and our association with them is a natural step in our strategy to offer our patrons a rewarding shopping experience,” said Henri Changeux, Senior Vice-President for Carrefour (UAE, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar). “Our customers now have a wider range of payment options, bringing them optimum convenience.”

"Network is recognised and trusted for its unsurpassed card payment solutions and proven infrastructure. This alliance is no doubt further testament to the exponential added-value offered to large retailers who need to stay competitive by selecting globally tested solutions,” added Ram Chari, General Manager, Network International.
