Isis Adds American Express To Its Mobile Wallet Line Up

Aug. 9, 2013

American Express and Isis® announced that they will introduce American Express Serve to the Isis Mobile Wallet™. The new co-branded account will be offered in every Isis Mobile Wallet as a part of a nationwide launch later this year, enabling millions of Americans to tap and pay using their American Express Serve account.

By adding American Express Serve to the Wallet, customers will be able to pay bills online and send money to friends and family, according to the release by American Express. They will also be able to add cash to their American Express Serve account or fund it using an existing bank account, any credit or debit card or through direct deposit.

“Linking the platforms will allow millions of people to conveniently and inexpensively manage and move their money,” said Dan Schulman, group president, Enterprise Growth, American Express, in a prepared statement. “From the palm of your hand, consumers including those without access to traditional bank accounts or credit can have access to everyday financial services. And our combined solution works in today’s retail environment, and in the emerging ‘tap to pay’ point of sale ecosystem.”

“Our relationship with American Express Serve underscores our mutual commitment to providing consumers with choice and value in mobile payments,” said Michael Abbott, chief executive officer, Isis. “We learned through our pilot that customers love the convenience of tap and pay with the ability to manage their payments and loyalty programs from one app. By adding American Express Serve to the Isis Wallet, we can immediately provide millions of consumers the opportunity to participate in mobile commerce as we continue to enrich the consumer experience.”
