What is American Express?
American Express is a highly popular payment scheme with nearly two million users in France. It is a payment scheme similar to CB, Visa, and Mastercard but with a different payment structure. It is a card that is neither a debit card nor a credit card and includes a 15-digit number, an expiration date, and a 4-digit CVV.
Characteristics of Payments via American Express
- The final customer is not immediately debited after payment but at the end of the month.
- American Express offers a 3DS called SafeKey, triggered by American Express based on payment characteristics and information they have about the cardholder.
- Refunds (full or partial) are possible.
- Fund availability is instantly verified during payment.
How Does American Express Work with PayPlug?
