JCB International Co, the international operations subsidiary of JCB Co. Ltd, has partnered with iZettle, the award-winning Swedish fintech company, with an awareness campaign using the iconic London Black taxis.
The campaign aims to reinforce the message that JCB and iZettle merchants across Europe accept JCB Cards.
The campaign aims to reinforce the message that JCB and iZettle merchants across Europe accept JCB Cards.
This is good news for JCB's 106m Cardmembers that may visit London and want to hail London taxis equipped with iZettle payment devices or make a purchase at an iZettle merchant.
iZettle revolutionised mobile payments in 2011 and has rapidly moved beyond payments to become a small business commerce platform, offering tools to take payments, register and track sales and to get funding.
For JCB, the deal forms part of its strategy to increase its acceptance footprint across the SEPA region by expanding its merchant acceptance network to support its growing global Cardmember base.
The London taxi partnership will see ten London black cabs co-branded with JCB and iZettle acceptance awareness for the next six months, ending in May 2018. All London Taxis with iZettle payment devices will accept JCB Cards
Taxi Leaks Extra Bit :
There’s been a lot of controversy over the siting in the rear compartment of the credit card reader.
Many drivers are worried that their safety can easily be compromised by dodgy passengers asking the driver to get in the back to sort a problem out with the machine.
Also female drivers are worried about their safety regarding the same aspect.
But a new problem has now come about.
A taxi breakers in Manchester which salvage cabs from online customers, have just bought a Euro 6 which burned out.
It’s alleged that the fire started from the area of the fixed credit card machine.

Police in Helsinki have issued a warning to hand-held credit card machine users not to leave their machines unattended or out of sight after a vet was defrauded of 10,000 Euro by someone using the vet's card device.
Police said fraudsters have now found a way to do a charge-back/refund via the machine from a users linked bank account.
Just a quick job (£4.20)paying by card was it was his brain going on fire after waiting 1hr @ golders blue
That's where your money goes.
Up in smoke.
Its very bad that I have to often get in the back of the cab with my customer to show them how to work the machine. Also I dare not take inebriated passengers due to likelihood of them smashing up the machine. A handheld device to pass through the cash tray opening would have been far better. What logic is there in the brains of those that force all this stupidity upon us all the time. Often they come up with the most ludricous little things. Even silly stickers everywhere, as if we can't actually communicate verbally with our passengers. Strange as they actually test our communication skills by knowledge appearance, then assume we require stickers to tell passengers we take credit cards or don't allow smoking etc.
