Amex and BII tie up

JAKARTA (JP): Credit card issuer American Express (Amex) and
Bank Internasional Indonesia (BII) announced on Monday they were
cooperating to provide Amex clients access to BII's ATM services.

In a joint statement, Amex and BII said they had recently
signed a memorandum of understanding which would allow Amex
clients to pay their bills and withdraw cash at BII's 800 ATMs
across Indonesia.

"We are very delighted to partner with BII to provide the
convenience of ATM service to our card members and to our bank
account holders," Amex vice president and country manager Atul
Mathur said in press statement.

BII managing director Rudy N Hamdani said the partnership was
part of BII's effort to increase its ATM network in the country.

The two said they would work together over the next few
months to implement the system.

Amex said it would issue ATM cards to enable its account
holders access to BII's ATMs. It did not say when the service
would be available.(bkm)
