Doing business with American Express has never been easier

We want to make business transactions with our acceptance partners as simple as possible. You will find basic information about your American Express acceptance partner account here.

Accept American Express Cards – there are two transaction methods:

  • Card transactions in the presence of the cardholder
  • Card transactions in the absence of the cardholder (for example, by post, phone or online)

Posting incoming payments

We transfer the net amount to you. The agreed commission is charged on every transaction made in your company by an American Express Cardholder. Furthermore, other agreed charges (e.g. chargebacks or credits to cardholders) may be deducted before payment. You can track all the payments on your payment notification or through myAccount.

You can arrange this individually with us. The mode of payment will then be specified in detail as part of your acceptance application.

Sometimes your account may have a debit balance. This may be due to the following:

  • Credits to cardholders
  • Outstanding fees
  • Chargebacks that debit your account as a result of a cardholder complaint

If you submit new transactions, we will deduct the outstanding amounts from the payment to you. If the outstanding amount cannot be settled by this payment, we will send you an invoice with payment slip so that you can conveniently transfer the outstanding amount to us.
