At that time, the American Diner Credit Card Company established the Japanese Diner Credit Card Company in Japan in 196, while JCB mainly issued Diner Cards to local high-end customers, and the number of cards issued was very small. After JCB was established, it decided to choose a different road from the high-end user card issued by Dalai, and positioned the card as a popular JCB card. JCB, which is in the early stage of the development of Japan's credit card industry, is ahead of other credit card companies in both the number of cards issued and the transaction volume. During the 197s and 198s, its business volume increased exponentially and became the most popular credit card in Japan.
