Overview

American Express National Bank allows you to grant access to your accounts by creating an Account Manager. This is done through American Express Business Blueprint, where you can:
  • add a new user with their own login credentials
  • choose which accounts they can access
  • define what they are allowed to see and do, such as viewing balances or initiating payments
You will be setting up a user that can securely access account data and initiate transactions without sharing your primary login.

Important notes

If no account access is assigned, the user will see no data.
American Express Business Checking accounts historically only supported a single owner with no delegated user access. While “Account Manager” functionality exists for Amex cards, it may not be fully supported for Business Checking accounts, or may require workarounds.
Use one user per account if separate connections are required.
