How do I set up my Electronic Data Capture ("EDC") terminal to accept American Express Cards?

How quickly will I be paid for my American Express Charges?
We offer four payment plans: next-day, 3-day, 7-day and 30-day payment frequencies (depending on the nature of your business/industry). Most Merchants fall under the 3-day pay category, which means that Bank Danamon will pay you for Charges three working days from the date that we receive and process the Charges.

 

Payment frequencies of 7 and 30 days indicate that Bank Danamon will pay you for Charges either 7 or 30 working days (depending on the nature of your business/ industry) from the date of receipt and processing by Bank Danamon.*

 

*"Working days" means Mondays to Fridays only.

You need to contact Authorizations at 021-3435 8886. Be prepared to give your Merchant number, the Card account number and the amount of the Charge.

 

What should I do if I suspect a Card may be stolen or fraudulent?
Do not confront the customer. If you are in any way suspicious, call Authorizations at 021-3435 8886. Be prepared to give your Merchant number and the Card account number.

 

How do I add additional locations to my existing American Express Merchant relationship?
Call our Merchant Care at 021-3435 8886. Our representatives will be happy to assist you in setting up additional merchant locations.

 

How should I respond to an American Express customer service enquiry regarding a Charge?
Be sure to respond either by post (to Bank Danamon Card Center, Merchant Care, Jl. Prapatan No. 50, Tugu Tani, Jakarta 10110) or by fax (to: 021-3435 3511/ 3522) with the requested documentary support before the reply-by date noted on the request. Be sure to indicate in the space provided whether Credit is due or no Credit is due, as supported by your attached documentation. If no reply is received from you by the reply-by date, Merchant Services of Bank Danamon will deduct the Charge from your Merchant account.

 

What is ABS?
ABS stands for Automated Batch Submission. If you are a Merchant that currently submits your transactions to Bank Danamon via tape or disk, ABS will facilitate faster payments and reduce the risk of erroneous transactions. This is because ABS electronically processes your American Express transactions and if required, automatically converts them into American Express format and submits them directly into our processing systems on your behalf.
