ACI Worldwide and Japan’s international payments brand JCB International jointly announced that JCB has completed the successful global rollout of its JCB Web API Service, including its Web API-based dispute function, using ACI Secure eCommerce. ACI Secure eCommerce serves as the foundation for the service, helping acquirers, merchants and payments service providers (PSPs) drive payments acceptance in key regions across Asia and globally. JCB is accepted at more than 35 million merchant locations globally, utilizing ACI Secure eCommerce as its JCB Web API Service – a processing interface to accelerate JCB Card acceptance in important and growing markets, especially in Asia. Acquirers benefit from an API-based interface for both authorization and clearing. The API-based dispute processing function on JCB Web API Service enables acquirers to receive chargeback notifications and request representment as a remedy for chargebacks via the Web API. The full rollout of this solution enables acquirers and PSPs to support their merchants and offer more ways to pay for JCB cardmembers, who prefer to pay with their trusted brand. Kenta Seya, Executive Vice President, JCB, said ACI Secure eCommerce, which underpins JCB Web API Service, is globally proven with merchants and PSPs across geographies, industries and verticals. Debbie Guerra, Executive Vice President, ACI Worldwide, said the extensive capabilities delivered by ACI Secure eCommerce, including the mobile commerce software development kit, have enabled JCB to streamline and simplify operations while expanding its global reach.
