Amex launches new service

JAKARTA (JP): Leading credit card company American Express
announced on Wednesday the launch of a new direct debit service
for phone bills.

The service allows cardholders to directly charge their
telephone and cell phone bills to their American Express Cards,
the company said in a statement.

With the new service, phone bills will be immediately paid by
American Express while cardholders only need to pay on the due
date of the card bill.

The direct debit facility will be rolled out to cardholders in
April and to activate this service they will need to authorize
American Express to debit their card.

The facility will cover bills from PT Telkom, Excelcomindo,
Satelindo and Telkomsel. (10)
