That's a strange timeline. Suica transit and payment started in 2001, flip phone integration in 2004, Android in 2010. PASMO-Suica interop started in 2007, expanding to 10 cards across regions in 2013. Apple Pay with NFC launched in 2016, iPhone 7 with FeliCa launched in 2016, PayPay was 2018. Those all came after success of Suica and its slowly expanded mutual interoperations.
JCB is also a card brand, not a payment system. System is more like payment networks like CARDNET.
- dcrazy 2y agoJCB has its own payment network in Japan. In other countries they piggy back off AmEx or Discover/Novus.
