Ayeyarwady Bank (AYA Bank), in collaboration with Myanmar Payment Union (MPU), and JCB International (JCBI) announced the launching of AYA Universal Corporate MPU-JCB Co-Branded Card. This is the first corporate credit card targeted for business payment use ever issued in the country.
The card has two different products: Universal Corporate Platinum Credit Card and Universal Corporate Gold Credit Card. All holders of cards can enjoy the same JCB privileges as personal credit card members, such as JCB Plaza and special offers at selected merchants all over the world. Universal Corporate Platinum Credit Card card members can also use exclusive JCB Platinum services, such as JCB Platinum Airport Lounge service, JCB Platinum Concierge Desk, and Special JCB Platinum Hotel Services.
Zaw Zaw, Founder and Chairman of AYA Bank commented, ” Myanmar economy is growing fast and we have commercial cooperation with neighboring countries, which means companies need to send their employees on business trips and need to use other international services. I believe that AYA Universal Corporate MPU-JCB Co-Branded Card will be welcomed by companies here. AYA is honored that JCB will be our first international brand corporate product, and we know this card will bring convenience and reliable payment experience to Myanmar.”
Kimihisa Imada, President and COO of JCB International said, “Corporate card is a popular product welcomed in Japan, and it can be used for the payment of business-related expenses, most often travel-related. Without a corporate card, sometimes employees need to take money out of their personal account to pay for company expenses. With the AYA Universal Corporate MPU-JCB Co-Branded Card, employees do not need to pay themselves. Also, for employees who go on business trips can enjoy JCB privileges which make traveling smoother and safer.” He added, “I am very pleased JCB will be the first international brand on a corporate product in Myanmar. AYA Universal Corporate MPU-JCB Co-Branded Card is a new product based on the needs of Myanmar enterprises. I am confident that the issuance of AYA Universal Corporate MPU-JCB Co-Branded Card can satisfy our customers and will allow both AYA Bank and JCB to continue growing business.”
