CONTACTLESS
Yes, it's very secure. American Express Contactless Cards use the same encryption technology as our chip & PIN Cards.
If you have one or more contactless Card we don't recommend tapping your wallet onto the reader. Instead, select the Card you prefer to use and tap it directly to the terminal instead.
Your contactless Card is also a Chip & PIN Card. You decide how you use your Card. Simply mention the retailer you'd prefer not to use contactless.
Plus all your Chip & PIN and contactless purchases are eligible for rewards like any other transaction.
When you first use your new contactless Card, you may have to enter your PIN to activate the contactless feauture. This is normal and will only happen once.
Not all merchants accept contactless. Check the Card reader is enabled for American Express contactless payments by looking for the contactless symbol. If it is but your Card isn't working, log into your Account online to request a new one. You can still use your Card with your PIN in the meantime.
You can use your Contactless Card abroad in mostly places where the contactless symbol and American Express logo are displayed. The transaction limit for American Express contactless payments varies in each country, therefore sometimes you may be asked to enter your PIN. If contactless capability is not available, you can still pay with your Card's Chip & PIN.
All our customers are covered through our Fraud Protection Guarantee.
