What is American Express?

American Express is a card network that lets customers pay you online with credit or debit cards — accepted in 130+ countries.

American Express is a card payment network accepted in 130+ countries. Customers enter their card details (or autofill a saved card) on a secure checkout page and the transaction is authorised in seconds. Accept the dominant payment method globally with a popular credit card used in more than 130 countries.

With PayRequest, you can issue a American Express payment link and share it through any channel: WhatsApp, email, SMS, social media, QR codes, or printed invoices. The hosted checkout is PCI-compliant, mobile-optimised, and supports 3D-Secure authentication out of the box.

Cards work as the universal fallback alongside local methods like iDEAL, Bancontact and SEPA — your single PayRequest link adapts to whatever the customer prefers. PayRequest charges 0% on top of your provider's card processing fees.

Create a link in PayRequest. Your customer opens it on any device, enters card details (or uses saved card / Apple Pay autofill), and confirms. Money lands in your provider's account within minutes.
Which providers support American Express?
American Express is supported by Stripe and Mollie via PayRequest. Connect your provider and American Express is automatically available on every link.
What does American Express cost?
American Express processing rates depend on your provider — typically 1.4% + €0.25 for European cards or 2.9% + €0.25 for international. PayRequest charges 0% on top.
Is it safe to send a American Express link via WhatsApp?
Yes — the link itself is just a URL. Card details are entered on PayRequest's secure, PCI-compliant checkout page, encrypted in transit, never visible in the message itself.
Can I do a American Express pre-authorisation (deposit)?
Yes. PayRequest supports security deposits — you authorise a card without charging it, hold for up to 30 days, then capture or release. Perfect for rentals, bookings and damage deposits.
