Bank details of American Express

How to correctly fill out a transfer form

Paying an American Express account usually involves settling a balance via a bank transfer. Because Amex uses specific reference numbers (often your card number), entering the correct data is the only way to ensure your payment is credited to the right account.

Examples of filling out a transfer:

Credit Card Payment: Recipient: American Express Australia; BSB: Confirm with statement (public bank identifier); Account number: Use your 15-digit Card Number; Reference: Your Full Name.

International Transfer: Recipient: American Express; SWIFT: AEIAAU21 (public bank identifier); Account: ****5678 (example); Currency: AUD/USD.

Tips for filling out the form

• Always use your 15-digit Amex card number as the account number or reference as specified on your statement. • Check your latest statement for the specific BSB, as it may differ based on the card product type. • Ensure the currency sent matches the currency of your Amex account to avoid unexpected conversion fees. • Payments can take 2-3 business days to reflect on your balance.

FAQ

Question: Where can I find the BSB for my Amex payment?

Answer: American Express usually provides a specific BSB on your monthly statement under the "How to Pay" section.

Question: Can I use the SWIFT code AEIAAU21 for domestic payments?

Answer: No, that is a public bank identifier for international wires. For domestic card payments, please follow the BSB instructions on your statement.
