JCB launches JCB Minions Collaboration Credit Card in partnership with Bank of Beijing and Universal Pictures

TOKYO & BEIJING, Aug 25, 2023 - (JCN Newswire) - JCB International Co., Ltd., the international operations subsidiary of JCB Co., Ltd., Japan's only international payment brand (collectively "JCB"), Bank of Beijing, one of China's largest commercial banks, and Universal Pictures (Shanghai) Trading Company Limited ("Universal") announce the launch of the JCB Minions Collaboration Credit Card ("JCB Minions Card"), featuring Universal's popular characters, the Minions, on the card face[1].

The Minions are popular characters in China, especially among young people and those in their thirties.
