By adding AMEX payment to your accepted methods, your business will deliver secure transactions, attract a global audience and build a loyal customer base.

What is AMEX payment?

AMEX payment by American Express—one of the world’s leading financial companies—is a payment method accepted in over 130 countries for both online and in-store transactions.

American Express card payments are protected by robust security measures, including chip-and-PIN technology, encryption and real-time monitoring. These advanced data protection features make it a trusted choice for international transactions.

With myPOS, merchants of all sizes can easily accept AMEX payments, meeting the needs of a diverse clientele and capturing every sales opportunity.

How does AMEX payment work?

AMEX card payments are accepted across various channels, including online, brick-and-mortar and cross-border transactions.

Customers insert, swipe or tap their card at the POS device to initiate a payment. If their card is linked to a digital wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay, they can simply hover their smartphone over the card machine.

For online checkouts, customers enter their card number and details on the payment page. They can save these details in their browser for a quick auto-fill during future purchases.

Once the financial data is collected, it is encrypted to protect against fraudulent activity and sent through AMEX’s network for approval. Most often, customers are asked to verify the transaction with a one-time password to confirm their identity.

At the end, a transaction acknowledgement screen will indicate either payment success or failure. Each successful transaction generates a transaction reference number, which can be used for tracking or transaction queries.
