Tokyo & Jakarta, October 6, 2026: JCB International Co., Ltd. has partnered with PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk to launch the Danamon JCB Treasure Card, targeting affluent customers in Indonesia. The initiative marks the first product rollout under the strategic comprehensive partnership between MUFG Bank, Ltd. and JCB in ASEAN, following a memorandum of understanding signed in July 2026.
The Danamon JCB Treasure Card is JCB’s highest-tier card ever issued outside Japan, aimed at Indonesia’s expanding affluent and mass-affluent segments. The product is designed to meet growing demand for premium travel, shopping, and dining services, especially for customers traveling to Japan, which remains a popular destination for Indonesian tourists.
Exclusive benefits for cardholders
Available to Danamon private banking customers, the card offers access to exclusive experiences across Japan, including reservation assistance for difficult-to-book restaurants, preferential foreign exchange rates for overseas transactions, 5% cashback on eligible bill payments, complimentary overseas travel insurance, privileges at popular stores and facilities in Japan, and access to airport lounges in Japan and worldwide.
Strategic partnership aims and future plans
MUFG Bank and JCB plan to leverage MUFG Bank’s financial network and JCB’s payment infrastructure to develop card products for affluent customers in ASEAN, providing exclusive experiences and benefits in Japan. Over the medium to long term, the companies will explore enhancements to cross-border payment and mobile capabilities by integrating JCB’s payment services with digital financial service providers in which MUFG has invested, and advance digital payment services in the region.
The partnership also aims to expand collaboration with Japanese companies, promote Japanese brands and services across ASEAN, encourage travel to Japan, and contribute to Japan’s tourism strategy and regional revitalization.
