On October 29, 2026, JCB International and Hanoi Metro signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), planning to launch the “JCB transit” service on Hanoi’s urban rail transit system in early 2027, introducing JCB contactless fare payments. At that time, JCB cardholders will be able to pay fares directly at metro gates using contactless bank cards or compatible devices, without needing to purchase separate tickets or carry cash. The service will focus on facilitating travel for international visitors from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, and other markets. The two parties have currently reached a cooperation arrangement, but the service remains in the planned launch stage, and the specific launch date has not yet been announced.
