Banca Intesa Beograde has announced that it will begin exclusively issuing the American Express Green and Gold Credit Cards in Serbia beginning May 8, 2006. As part of the agreement with American Express, Banca Intesa is also the only bank in Serbia to sign local merchants to accept the American Express Card.

Banca Intesa has a long standing and successful partnership with American Express in several other markets around Europe, and we are pleased to be able to bring these outstanding products to Serbian consumers, said Draginja Duric, CEO of Banca Intesa.

We believe that the American Express Green and Gold Cards that we are launching today are two of the best credit card products on the market because they offer a unique package of benefits designed to meet the needs of today’s consumers who appreciate innovation and world-class customer service.

The cards are designed to meet the financial and lifestyle needs of Serbian consumers both at home and around the world. With a high credit limit, the new Banca Intesa American Express Green and Gold Credit Cards will purportedly empower the financial and lifestyle needs of Serbian consumers.
