What is a Service Provider?
Service Providers are third party organisations that provide services to Merchants and other users related to the processing of American Express transactions. Service Providers include Authorised Processors, Third Party Processors, Gateway Providers, and any other providers of point of sale equipment, software, or systems or other payment processing solutions or services.

Service Providers, like Merchants, must agree to the American Express Data Security Operating Policy and comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
