American Express is to launch a new service called Amex Express Checkout , which will allow members to make online purchases users their existing American Express card ; the move is seen as signalling Amex 's first serious move into the digital banking space . The space is packed with competing platforms like Visa Checkout and digital wallets such as MasterPass and Google Wallet, but the hassle of managing those services can prevent consumers from signing up and sticking with them, according to AmEx. A unique aspect of the new service , as compared to those offered by rivals , is that all US American Express cardholders will automatically gain access to the service , which will integrate all of their existing login information ; this avoids customers having to sign - up for the service themselves , which is typically the biggest hurdle towards getting customers to engage with mobile banking .
