How do I export a CSV file from American Express?

Accurate financial administration is crucial for e-commerce entrepreneurs and dropshippers, especially with regard to international tax obligations (global taxing). American Express (Amex) allows you to export your transaction data, though not directly in MT940 format. In this guide, we'll discuss how to prepare your Amex transactions for efficient integration into your accounting software.

Step-by-step guide for exporting and converting American Express transactions to CSV

Step 3: Navigate to 'Download Transactions'

• Click 'Download Transactions' or a similar option, depending on your account's language settings.
