Vietnamese lender Tien Phong Commercial Joint Stock Bank (TPBank) is set to issue a new credit card powered by JCB.

The move was jointly announced by the lender and JCB International, the international operations subsidiary of JCB.

The new TPBank JCB Credit Card will provide access to JCB’s global acceptance network which includes around 35 million merchants.

The cardholders will receive special discount at more than 100 high-end restaurants and collect reward points for every transaction.

They can earn five times of reward points while making purchases at supermarkets and shopping centres. These reward points can be redeemed with gift items.

Furthermore, TPBank waived off annual fee and issuance fee in the first year as an introductory offer.
