Macquarie Leasing has expanded the payment options for its customers by allowing them to use an American Express card to make vehicle and equipment lease payments. The deal is a first for both parties (Macquarie Leasing did not accept payment by any type of plastic). Amex card users will get the benefits of points with their payments, and credit-free days. Yellow Brick Road reported yesterday that it has signed its 100th branch agreement - in Geelong. The company signed more than 50 branch agreements in 2001 and plans to add 25 branches by the end of the financial year.
