How do I set up Direct Debit repayments on my Card?

Setting up Direct Debit for Personal and Business Cards

In order to set up Direct Debit repayments on your American Express® Card, simply provide your bank account details to American Express and tell us the amount you’d like to pay each month. You can do this in two ways:

Option A: How to set up Direct Debit via American Express Online Services

1. Log in to your Online Account 
2. Go to ‘Payments’
3. Select ‘Set up Direct Debit’
4. Read and agree to the Terms and Conditions
5. Select your Card number from the dropdown menu
6. Enter your 4-digit Card Identification Number (CID) printed above the Account Number on the front of your Card then click ‘Confirm’
7. Follow the prompts to complete the process.

If you have a Joint Card Account, you’ll only able to set up Direct Debit repayments by application, not online.

Option B: How to set up Direct Debit by application

• Credit Card Direct Debit Form
• Charge Card Direct Debit Form

You will receive a letter to confirm if your enrolment has been successful or not. Keep in mind that it’s important you continue paying your Account using another payment option until your Direct Debit plan begins.
