JCM Global has wrapped up a highly successful appearance at ICE Barcelona 2026, following three days of strong engagement, high-value meetings and positive feedback from operators, manufacturers and industry partners across EMEA and beyond.
Exhibiting on Stand 3M50, the JCM Global EMEA team welcomed a steady flow of visitors keen to explore the company’s latest advancements in cash handling, validation and systems integration – all with a clear focus on automation, security and operational efficiency.
Spotlight on New and Expanded Solutions
A major highlight of the show was the continued momentum behind UBA Ultra, JCM’s next-generation banknote validator, designed to deliver exceptional validation speed, advanced anti-fraud protection and secure storage in demanding gaming environments.
Alongside this, visitors saw strong interest in the UBA Pro 2 BNF, reinforcing the platform’s position as a trusted solution for operators seeking reliability, flexibility and seamless system compatibility.
JCM also demonstrated how its wider systems ecosystem – including ICB and Ticket2Go – enables operators to build smarter, connected payment environments, supporting both cash and hybrid workflows while improving data visibility and operational control.
