Mr. U Mya Than, Vice Chairman of MPU, said, “The acceptance of JCB cards in Myanmar will open up a financial freedom to JCB cardmembers visiting for business or pleasure whereby JCB cardmembers can use their cards at over 2,000 MPU merchants and 500 ATMs.” “MPU’s role in the payment system is promoting its primary function of providing payment, clearing and settlement service, in this back ground, cashless payments are one of the important functions for the financial system and the economy as a whole. MPU has started payment card clearing network in collaboration with member banks since 2012. I believe both domestic and international card payment volume will be rising in dramatic form in the near future.”
