JCB to Launch J-POINT in January 2026
The Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation (Toei) will expand its pilot service for contactless fare payment using credit cards and similar methods on the Toei Subway in Tokyo, Japan, starting September 10.
In partnership with Mitsui Sumitomo Card, JCB (Japan Credit Bureau), Nippon Signal, OMRON Social Solutions, and QUADRAC, the bureau has been conducting the trial since December 2024 at 26 stations on the Toei Asakusa Line and Toei Oedo Line.
By adding 29 more stations, contactless payment will be available at 55 of the system’s 106 stations. The service is planned to be expanded to all stations within fiscal 2025.
