Aetna, Mashill tie-up

JAKARTA (JP): Aetna Life Indonesia, a subsidiary of Aetna
International of the United States, and Bank Mashill Utama
jointly launched on Tuesday the Aetna Visa Card.

Aetna Life Indonesia's president John V. Jones said the
objective in launching the card was to enhance service capability
to customers.

He said they would benefit from the convenience of paying
premiums charged directly to their cards.

Jones said the payment method would prevent inadvertent lapses
by policyholders in meeting premiums.

Aetna, which entered Indonesia in 1995, increased ownership to
80 percent in 1997 under its new name Aetna Life Indonesia. (29)
