What is American Express® SafeKey®?


American Express® SafeKey® uses the latest technology to help protect you against fraud while shopping online at participating merchants. When you shop online at participating SafeKey merchants, SafeKey will appear towards the end of your checkout process. Most of the time, you won’t have to do anything as SafeKey will authenticate your transaction automatically. If SafeKey determines that added verification is needed, we will instantly send you a six digit code by text and/or email. Simply enter the code to complete your transaction.
