Overview
Card Members with Android NFC-enabled devices running KitKat 4.4 or higher can use their device at Merchants who support American Express contactless payments, and within participating Merchant apps¹ that accept Google Pay and American Express Cards.
Google Pay has a unique feature called rich receipt. By tapping, the transaction notification displays a rich receipt which includes Merchant name, Merchant logo and Merchant contact information displayed on Google Maps. And, just like paying with a plastic American Express Card, Card Members who use Google Pay get all the same trusted security, service and benefits of Card Membership.
American Express is available to advise Issuers and Acquirers on how to enable Google Pay² for their customers.
¹ In-app support available November 2015.
² Google Pay is not available in all markets – for more information contact your American Express representative.
Google Pay is a trademark of Google Inc.
