American Express · FinOps Profile
American Express Finops
FinOps scaffold for American Express developer APIs. Amex bills via the merchant discount rate and interchange + acquirer fees rather than a stand-alone metered API. FOCUS columns describe the payment-processing shape; specific meters remain conceptual until Amex publishes per-API billing.

It defines 1 billable meter, billed in USD, on a per-contract cycle, and pricing category enterprise / bilateral.
The profile maps 7 FOCUS columns for cost-allocation reporting.
Tagged areas include Credit Cards, Financial Services, Payments, Tokenization, and Fraud Prevention.
