SP.LINKS Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Ryosuke Nomura), a payment processing service provider, announced that it supported the development and implementation of an identity verification system and API connection infrastructure for the "Credit Card Accumulation" investment trust purchase service using JCB Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "JCB") credit cards, which launched on March 26, 2026. This project was conducted in collaboration with Monex Securities, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "Monex Securities"). By leveraging SP.LINKS' specialized knowledge in credit card authentication and connection technology, the company has contributed to realizing a safe and smooth user environment for the service.
JCB is launching a partnership with Monex Securities for "JCB's Credit Card Accumulation," which allows its card members to purchase investment trusts with their credit cards. Because this service is available only to the cardholder themselves, the precision and accuracy of identity verification were crucial factors affecting service quality. SP.LINKS supported the design, development, and implementation of the identity verification flow by applying its accumulated expertise in authentication technology and payment flow construction. In this initiative, the company solved critical technical challenges in system integration, such as realizing API connectivity with "MyJCB" (JCB's membership site) and developing functions to cross-reference customer information on the securities company's side. This enables accurate distinction between primary and family card members, prevents fraudulent use, and allows for seamless authentication linkage, thereby establishing a user environment that balances security and convenience. Furthermore, this initiative represents a significant achievement for SP.LINKS that will lead to future business development, as strengthening API linkage with JCB makes it easier to roll out the service to other securities companies in the future, builds a track record in the credit card accumulation field within the securities sector, and serves as an introducible case study for financial clients.
