Portal provides a single point of access to company APIs and
developer resources, will enable developers to create opportunities
for business growth and drive innovation by harnessing the power of
American Express’ closed-loop network.
American Express (NYSE: AXP) today announced the launch of Amex
for Developers, a new portal providing a single point of access to
company APIs and developer resources in such categories as payment
services, customized experiences, data intelligence and fraud
prevention. The portal is launching with an initial set of
products; ongoing releases are expected to include additional
products in new categories.
“American Express has long used APIs to enable selected merchant
partners to grow their businesses by engaging their customers who
are Card Members in innovative ways,” said Marc Gordon, Executive
Vice President and Chief Information Officer. “With the launch of
Amex for Developers, we are expanding access to our APIs to
additional partners, creating new opportunities for business
growth, both for our partners and for American Express.”
Created for developers, the portal contains a robust set of
tools and resources, plus supports an end-to-end, self-service
workflow, so software engineers can rapidly create, innovate and
test new concepts. The portal includes a “sandbox” environment that
has been architected to give developers the freedom to quickly
begin testing and experimenting with American Express capabilities,
without access to actual Card Member or merchant data. In addition
to processing payments on its network, American Express manages
both the acquiring relationship with merchants and the card-issuing
side of the business, creating a “closed loop.” The portal has been
designed to give developers access, through its APIs and other
products, to capabilities that power billions of transactions
around the globe and support innovation at each stage of the
digital commerce journey, in a way that is consistent with American
Express' longstanding commitment to privacy and safeguarding Card
Member information.
“Amex for Developers provides the opportunity for software
engineers around the world to innovate with American Express,”
noted Sathish Muthukrishnan, Vice President, Enterprise API
Engineering & Digital Partnerships. “This will enable more
developers to apply their creativity to our APIs and other
products, which already have been leveraged by such partners as
Facebook, Twitter, Uber and Best Buy.”
