JCB International has signed an MoU with Hanoi Metro and plans to launch JCB transit in early 2027, bringing JCB contactless fare payments to Hanoi’s urban rail transit system. JCB cardholders will be able to use contactless bank cards or compatible devices directly at the gates, without purchasing separate tickets or carrying cash; the service will focus on making travel more convenient for international visitors from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other markets.
