At the same time, outside of the country, JONET cardholders can use their card on the Discover Global Network.

Discover vice president of international markets Matt Sloan said: “Jordan is a tourist destination for travellers around the world and Network International Jordan will help us increase acceptance for those travellers given the relationships they have with merchants across the country.”

In addition to Jordan, Discover has Middle East network alliance partnerships in the UAE, Bahrain, Lebanon, as well as Saudi Arabia.

In Jordan, JONET supports 100% of ATMs along with 80% of merchants. As a result, a card on the Discover Global Network will be accepted at nearly 2,000 ATMs and over 18,000 merchants in the next year.

Discover was recently in the news for its tie-up with Payments Network Malaysia (PayNet). The partnership is aimed at expanding acceptance for Discover, Diners Club International and network alliance cardholders in Malaysia.

Last month, Discover signed an agreement to help expand instalment payment platform Sezzle’s buy-now-pay-later feature. The agreement will enable Sezzle to work with merchants on the Discover Global Network to offer additional payment options.
