Anyone got an update on AMEX integration?
I remember someone said September time would be the time but was wondering if anyone inside Monzo has a rough update?

Literally need an autobot response to the word Amex on this thread that implores the poster to search the thread.
September is the deadline for Open Banking.
Truelayer handles all the integrations.
Nobody said Amex is coming in September.

Stupid question time - can anyone clarify why the Open Banking deadline doesn’t affect when Amex is available?
My assumption was that all credit card providers would need to create APIs by this deadline, which in turn would allow Truelayer to connect to Amex?
Amex must release open banking API by 14 Sept, as far as I understand.
However, that doesn’t mean it will be available in Monzo on 14 Sept, or even in Sept. Before that can happen there will presumably have to be some development work done by Truelayer before Monzo can get access.
Truelayer does not currently support Amex connection via Open Banking. My assumption based on this is that Amex are leaving everything until the last minute, although that is just an assumption.

Be aware some of the connection issues may be related to the new PSD2 requirements. These are slowly being introduced so some logon methods for banks are changing. Whether this is the issue some people are encountering I’m unsure but it’s a possibility

No, the use of ‘logon’ data for connections has been removed so banks can mess with that as much as they like.
Any current issues are all around the use of the APIs that the card providers are now starting to release.
Noticed the option to add cards has now been removed - was this supposed to happen?

Search for Credit Card on the help page and you should still be able to but I also can’t see the option otherwise!
Yep, that works - thanks 
Barclays are a mess at the moment anyway. Only their ping it app supports android 10, and they are giving customers the run around with zero commitment to timelines.
I was hoping to use the integration with Monzo to manage my Barclaycard. Guess I’ll have to revert to web banking for now.
Tandem have just released their open banking API. Would love to see support for Tandem in Monzo.
The Tandem app is getting an update soon supporting Monzo, Starling and Revolut. So would be awesome to have the Tandem cards in Monzo through Open Banking.

It seems that the option to add barclaycard has been removed, I tried to do this the other day and it wasn’t working. Trying it again with the above advice it seem that Bcard is no longer on the list of providers.
They have had a massive overhaul of their own app this week though, I wonder if these two things are related?
Yeah, Barclaycard has ‘gone’ from the list. Could be an Open Banking/Truelayer issue.
My biggest issue is that I currently can’t delete any Connected Credit cards Frustrating, especially as one is a duplication of another!
I guess you use Android? I was able to log into an iOS device, remove my broken connected cards, and log back in from Android!
That might work for you as well!

Good tip!
I don’t have direct access to a iOS device just yet, but I’ll certainly try this one 
It seems I am invited to reconnect all my credit card connections every single day now… I’ve now given up on this for a while. Hopefully these teething issues are resolved in the next month or two.
Direct the post at me next time xx

Support will be able to help you with this.
They are aware of the issue and hopefully a fix will be released soon, but until then they can do it for you at their end!

As long as everyone is compliant with PSD2 (which they’ll have to be!) then there shouldn’t be a problem aggregating any other company.

Android 2.65.0 fixed the issue. I can now delete Connected Credit cards in the app
