American Express SafeKey is a security feature for online transactions which helps confirm the identity of cardholders during digital purchases. When a customer checks out on a participating website, SafeKey may request a one-time code—usually sent to the customers’ mobile device or provided by their bank—to verify the transaction. This added step helps prevent unauthorized use of a credit card. It reduces the chance for merchants to have fraud and chargebacks which in turn builds trust with shoppers by creating a more secure checkout experience.
