About American Express

American Express is an American multinational financial services corporation headquartered in New York City. It was founded in 1850 and operates in financial services, payments, and related industries. Major shareholders include Berkshire Hathaway, The Vanguard Group, and BlackRock. Its main website is americanexpress.com, with regional sites for countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Singapore, the Philippines, Japan through partner pages, and several Gulf markets.
American Express issues charge and credit cards, processes payments, and runs banking and travel services. When problems appear, they usually show up as failed logins, declined purchases, or a mobile app that will not load statements. This page tracks reports from AmEx customers so you can see whether an issue is on your end or on theirs before you call support.
American Express is a US-based financial services company best known for its charge and credit cards. Customers also use it for online account management, bill payments, and mobile banking through the AmEx app. Card applications and customer service channels run through the same platform, so a single fault can affect several services at once. Issues tend to cluster around a few places. Web and mobile logins may fail during maintenance windows. Card transactions can be declined at merchants that do not accept AmEx or when a processor is slow to respond. Bill payments sometimes post late, and the app may show outdated balances while data syncs. Before assuming an outage, check a few things yourself. Confirm your card is active and not past its limit. Make sure you are using the correct username and password, and try the website if the app fails, or the other way around. A declined purchase at one merchant is often merchant-specific, not a network problem. Check that your bank app and browser are up to date.

Why was my AmEx card declined when I still have available credit?

Declines can come from the merchant, a hold on your account, a daily spending limit, or a temporary processor delay. Check your recent activity in the app or online, then contact the number on the back of your card if everything looks normal.

The AmEx app will not load my balance. What should I try first?

Confirm your internet connection, close and reopen the app, and log in through the website instead. If the website shows your balance but the app does not, updating or reinstalling the app usually fixes it.

I haven't been able to login for over an hour. The website is working but I get this error: We're sorry. Our system is temporarily unavailable. Inexplicably, I had the same problem on Monday. I've tried this with private browsing so I don't believe it's a problem with my cache.
