What are the benefits of accepting Amex payments?
Accepting Amex gives you direct access to an affluent, high-spending audience. Because Amex cardmembers earn points and rewards on every transaction, they tend to spend significantly more per order, which boosts your average order value. It also works with digital wallets, making your checkout experience fast and frictionless.
Security is another strong reason to accept Amex. Since it acts as both the network and the card issuer, it catches fraud faster and cuts down your chargeback risks. Your transactions are backed by advanced fraud prevention including SafeKey® and tokenisation, keeping your business and your customers safe.
Why do some merchants not accept Amex payments?
In the past, some businesses skipped Amex because of higher fees or the belief that not many people carried the card. But things have changed. Today, the slight difference in transaction costs is outweighed by the value Amex users bring to your checkout – they’re highly loyal and usually spend more. With Mollie, you don't have to worry about complex setups or separate contracts – you can tap into this high-value audience in 10 minutes.
How do American Express payments work?
When a customer buys from you using Amex – whether they enter their details online or use a digital wallet – the payment details travel through Amex’s secure network. Because Amex handles both the card and the network, it approves the transaction and runs fraud checks in seconds.
For you, accepting Amex payments with Mollie is quick and easy. You don't need a separate contract with American Express; you just add it with a click in your Mollie Dashboard. We handle all the backend processing and combine your Amex sales with your other payment methods into a single payout.
Are Amex charge cards different from regular credit cards?
Yes. While regular credit cards let customers spread their payments over time, charge cards usually have no preset spending limit but must be paid in full each month. Because of this setup, charge cards are highly popular with affluent shoppers and corporate clients – which translates to higher-value sales for your business.
