Part of our continuous efforts to provide a safer and more secure online shopping environment.
We want you to feel confident when you make a purchase with your American Express® Card. That's why SafeKey uses the latest technology to help protect you against fraud while shopping online at participating merchants.
American Express SafeKey helps prevent unauthorized online use of your American Express Card by confirming your identity.
When you shop online at participating SafeKey merchants, the SafeKey box will appear towards the end of your checkout process. Most of the time, you won’t have to do anything. 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.
You are automatically enrolled in American Express SafeKey. Just ensure we have up to date contact details for you and we’ll take care of the rest.
