alt Hacker News>- an in-app button to debit my bank for the balance without me having to go to my bank's app to send a bill pay.
?!? Are you saying that Amex is the first Canadian credit card you've used to let you make the payment from on its app, with Amex pulling the funds from your bank? Other Canadian credit cards all require you to "push" payments to them via your bank's billpay? This astounds me.
My RBC cards let me pay from an RBC account within the RBC app, but for example I also have the Costco MasterCard issued by CIBC and there's no feature in the CIBC app to pull a payment from another bank for it.
Same with everything else: power, water, taxes, mortgage, all of these I have to look up the number and arrange a bill-pay push, I think only my mobile and internet provider are able to just debit my bank acct directly.
