Mobile Wallet Security

Tap to pay using mobile wallets

Link your American Express® Card to Apple Pay®, Google Pay or Samsung Pay as part of your mobile wallet, and you're good to go.
With four layers of protection, we've got your back, every step of the way.

Mobile wallet payments have never been safer

1. Secure device

Whether it's a passcode, biometric recognition (face or fingerprint scan), or a secure tap without unlocking your phone, you're in control

2. Encrypted Details

To help protect transactions from fraud, your Card details aren’t saved to your phone. Instead, your device is given a unique token that’s then sent to the merchant.

3. Amex authentication

Our intelligent security systems send you instant alerts regarding odd or unusual activities detected in your account.

4. Fraud protection

Your Account is protected by our Fraud Protection Guarantee. That means, you’ll never have to pay for unauthorised spending on your Account1. Notify us at once if your Card or eligible device is lost or stolen, or you suspect it is being used without your permission and our dedicated Security Team will do everything they can to take care of you.

Lost or stolen Card?

Let us know immediately if you’ve lost your Card, or think it may be stolen. We’ll arrange a new Card for you as quickly as possible. If your device has been set up to take mobile payments, you may not need to wait for a new Card to arrive as your Card details on your mobile wallet may be updated, so you can continue using mobile payments.

Lost or stolen device?

If your mobile device is lost or gets stolen, contact us immediately such as by calling the number on the back of your Card or call us immediately on 1300 132 639 from Australia or +612 9271 8664 from overseas​
