American Express Co. (AXP), the world’s biggest credit-card issuer by purchases, introduced a payment system for smartphones and computers that competes with Visa Inc. (V), MasterCard Inc. (MA) and PayPal Inc.

Serve, as it’s called, is a prepaid electronic wallet that can be funded by linking with a checking account, debit card or credit card, said Dan Schulman, group president of enterprise growth at New York-based AmEx.
