07 Mar 2023

The American Express credit card is one of the most popular international payment cards owned by American Express, a multinational corporation based in New York, USA. The company is known for its wide range of cards, especially credit cards. American Express does not directly issue or manage the AMEX card, but the bank will automatically contact the company to issue it. 

You can use your AMEX card in many ways, anywhere. Here are some pointers:

• In-store: As offline purchases do not require a PIN, you will swipe the Card or insert it into the slot, depending on the POS device.
• Online: When making an online purchase, you will be asked to enter your Card details, including your Card number, expiration date, and the 4-digit security code on the front of your Card.
• Amex Express Checkout: Eligible Card Members with an online account can use Amex Express Checkout to purchase from online merchants and merchant apps by entering their americanexpress.com User ID and Password. Look for the "Amex Express Checkout" button during the checkout process.
• Mobile: American Express payments can be made using a range of digital wallets, including Apple Pay™, Samsung Pay, and Android Pay™.
