Revolut is set to enable business merchants in the UK to accept American Express cards, providing access to premium customers and enhancing the growth of the card scheme’s network in the region.
Initially, Amex cards will be available as a new payment method for e-commerce through Revolut Gateway, Payment Links, and Tap to Pay on iPhone. In-person payments will be introduced later this year. With the inclusion of American Express, Revolut Business now supports seven payment methods for merchants at checkout.
Alex Codina, general manager of merchant acquiring at Revolut Business, stated, “Businesses that offer a wide range of payment methods through Revolut can create seamless experiences for their customers, fostering loyalty and encouraging repeat business. We are excited to provide access to cost-effective and secure American Express payments through our platform, helping our merchants expand and reach new audiences.”
Dan Edelman, general manager of UK Merchant Services at American Express, remarked, “Revolut Business will allow even more businesses across the UK to benefit from attracting loyal and high-spending Amex Cardmembers, thereby improving the payment experience for their customers.”
