American Express Credit Cards South Africa mobile app

South African Amex cards are issued by Nedbank, so day-to-day control sits in the Nedbank Money app (iOS and Android) and Nedbank Online Banking — statements, debit orders, limit changes, travel notices. Membership Rewards and lounge tools also sit on americanexpress.com/en-za, but payments still clear through Nedbank. Install Money from the official stores only. Activate the plastic in the app after courier delivery (Gold typically 5–7 business days; Platinum first issue can be face-to-face). Notify Nedbank before overseas spend so fraud rules do not freeze the card. Nedbank and Amex publish the only support numbers for this card.
