Commerce bank Charge Card The Bank of Commerce to day announced it will enter the credit card field with the intro duction of Master Charge. J. A. Bowers, president, said his bank will offer the plan as an affiliate of State Bank and Trust Company, member of the Atlantic Bancard Associa tion. Master Charge a part of the Interbank card system, is a major national credit card with international connections. The card may be used for purchases at some 160,000 participating establishments in the U. S., Ja pan, Merico and Europe. Mr. Bowers said that with this one card, the cardholder can obtain immediate credit or cash and then receive one bill. “ It greatly simplifies the customer’s financial report- keeping,” he said, “and for our merchants, it eliminates rece- iveables, collection problems and the need for their own credit card department.” The card will be made avail able to the public in March of next year, Mr. Bowers said.
