Amex contact & contactless kernel
Level 2 contact and contactless kernels certified for Amex, ready to drop into a card reader, POS terminal, or SoftPOS app.
What it covers
Our Amex kernels handle both the chip-insert and contactless flows end to end:
- Reads and processes Amex-branded contactless cards and mobile wallets
- Reads and processes Amex chip cards inserted at the terminal (contact)
- Full EMV Level 2 kernel logic — application selection, risk management, cardholder verification
- Certified against Amex's own test plan, not just a generic EMV baseline
Amex ExpressPay. American Express's contactless technology, ExpressPay, works the same way — tap, don't insert. Our kernel is certified against Amex's Level 2 requirements.
