Initially rolling out in Salt Lake City
The agreement will make American Express US Consumer, OPEN Small Business and Serve Cards available in the Isis Wallet (view press release). American Express is initially rolling out the service in Salt Lake City, connecting cardmembers with its merchant network by enabling them to make ‘tap-and-go’ payments and redeem loyalty solutions with their NFC-enabled device. The service will be introduced in Texas later this year.
“The relationship with American Express underscores our commitment to ensuring a flexible and inclusive platform that offers consumers choice in mobile payments while delivering new opportunities for merchants to connect with consumers,” said Isis CEO, Michael Abbott.
American Express joined the Isis Mobile Commerce Platform last year.
