Closing Points

• The feed will start importing bank transactions from the date the feed was connected. Transactions that take place prior to this will not be imported by the feed but can be imported from a CSV file. To do this, log into your American Express online account and request an export of your transactions.

• Inline with PSD2 regulations you will be asked to reconfirm your connection to American Express very 90 days. We’ll remind you when the time is due.

• You can revoke access at any time by deleting your feed on QuickFile or by deleting the authorisation from the American Express app.

• The feed will run once every 24 hours at around 4-6 am GMT. When the feed runs all booked transactions will be imported from the day previous.
