The KTC JCB PLATINUM credit card first launched in 2006 and garnered positive feedback from Thais who admire and love all things Japanese. Currently, there are approximately 200,000 credit cards. This year, KTC was honored by JCB to be the first credit card in Thailand to issue a credit card of the highest tier, that is, the 'KTC JCB ULTIMATE Credit Card' to expand the membership base to those who earn 50,000 baht or more, love to travel with a taste of fine dining, and often shop online. This is in harmony with KTC's strategy this year which aims to expand its membership to include those who have more purchasing power, including a goal to curate a wide variety of partners that match with premium lifestyles. The card was designed using copper tones to emphasize the exclusivity; with a touch of simplicity and luxury with traditional Japanese-style carved lines in the shape of a 'Crane', which is considered a symbol of good luck."
