Dojo and American Express partner to simplify payments for SMEs

By Gloria Methri

Payment technology provider Dojo has signed a new partnership with American Express, making it even easier for small businesses in the UK to accept AmEx payments.

The strategic agreement will help Dojo’s small business customers accept American Express payments seamlessly with one unified contract. This offers a smoother experience featuring a consolidated statement for transaction reconciliation, a unified settlement process, a streamlined onboarding journey, and a single point of contact for servicing.

The partnership announcement comes during American Express’ annual Shop Small campaign, which aims to support small businesses by encouraging the nation to enjoy the benefits of ‘shopping small’, whatever their budget. This year, as part of a new initiative, small businesses have the chance to win a grant of £10,000 if they are nominated by American Express Cardmembers and then selected by an expert judging panel. Dojo customers who accept American Express payments are among those small businesses with a chance of winning.

Nuno Mateus, VP of Payments at Dojo, said, “We are pleased to announce this agreement between Dojo and American Express. We want to make life easier for our customers while giving them time back to focus on what matters – running their business and delivering a fantastic customer experience. The agreement is a testament to Dojo’s continued commitment to innovative tech and mission to continue supporting the high street.”

Daniel Edelman, General Manager of Merchant Services at American Express, added, “As we look to continue our coverage growth momentum, this new strategic agreement will enable yet more businesses across the UK to benefit from the spending power of Amex Cardmembers. We are committed to making it easier than ever before for small merchants to accept Amex, meaning they can offer an improved payment experience to their customers.”
