The card expands Shinhan Bank's SOL Travel debit card line and is billed as the financial industry's first debit card issued under the JCB brand, aimed at improving ease of use in Japan.
It includes the existing SOL Travel benefits of 100% exchange-rate preferential treatment and waived overseas payment fees.
Cardholders also receive 5% discounts at major merchants including Don Quijote and convenience stores in Japan, as well as at UNIQLO, MUJI and ABC Stores in Guam and Hawaii.
Through JCB Special Offers, the card provides additional partner discounts, free access to JCB airport lounges and discounts at Hoshino Resorts, with no annual fee.
To mark the launch, Shinhan Bank will run a promotion from Tuesday through May 29.
Among customers who newly issue the card and apply for the event, the first 2,000 will receive 5,000 My Shinhan Points. Separately, 1,000 customers who make purchases of 10,000 won or more per transaction during the event period will be selected by drawing to receive a 10,000-won Olive Young gift card.
A Shinhan Bank official said the card was designed to improve convenience and deliver practical benefits as demand for travel to Japan grows, adding that the bank will continue expanding travel financial services linked to overseas payments, remittances and partner offerings centered on the SOL Travel debit card.
