Account Alerts is a free service that updates you with key account information such as Payment and Spending Alerts by Email, SMS, and/or Amex App. You can also personalize the notification setting through Online Services or Amex App.

To take advantage of this service, register for Account Alerts and select which reminders you would like to receive, the method of delivery, and when you’d like to be notified.

Push Notifications allow you to receive important account updates from the Amex App directly on your mobile device’s Lock Screen and Notification Centre. To set up, visit 'Push Notifications' in the 'Menu' of the Amex App.

You can personalize your notification settings through Online Services or the Amex App.

By enrolling in Push Notifications, your financial information may be displayed on your mobile device’s Lock Screen and Notification Centre. The information that may be presented within these locations includes Payment Amount, Balance Amount, Due Date, Payment Date, Statement Date and Last 5 Digits of your Card. If you do not wish to receive Push Notifications in these locations, you can manage your Notifications in your mobile device Notification settings at any time. You can individually manage your Amex Push Notifications you want to receive within the Amex App at any time.

Enrollment for the Amex App Push Notifications and American Express Account Alerts are separate. If you are enrolled for both Amex Push Notifications and Account Alerts by email or SMS, changes made to the settings on one service may impact the settings of the other.

If you change or lose your mobile device, that device may continue to receive Push Notifications until a new device is set up for Push Notifications. Thus when you change devices, please ensure to set up Push Notifications on your new device.

If another user is on your device and logged into the Amex App with their American Express account, your Push Notifications will not be sent during this time. If the other user changes their Push Notifications preferences while using your device they may overwrite your existing Push Notification preferences. Therefore you should review who has access to your device.
