Better with Omotenashi
Trust. Knowing someone is there for you, ready to help when needed. This is invaluable and it's why we have worked hard to achieve it. So much so, it's embedded into how we do business. Formally, called omotenashi, it's the sincere desire to build meaningful relationships of trust and prosperity. A point of difference that has already attracted 146 million high-value Cardmembers* from across the globe.
Looking for ways that we can support merchants is what we do. We call this shared trust and prosperity, omotenashi. This sincere desire to help is why our partners know we’ll be there for them, ready whenever its needed. From special offers for cardmembers, to ensuring payments are seamless and secure. No wonder we’ve attracted over 146 million high-value cardmembers* and 39 million merchants* at Düsseldorf Tourismus, who are happy to welcome us.

The Art of Omotenashi
Ethos? Approach? Promise? Culture? Art? Omotenashi is all of the above. Its guiding principles mean we apply the highest standards of care, consideration, integrity, and respect, to everything we do. From building a network for growth and value, to protecting our Cardmembers with secure payments technology. It’s why doing business with JCB is so refreshing and unique. And why the payments world is #BetterWithOmotenashi™.
