Which merchants are affected?

Only merchants using Split-Dial and Split-Settlement (Reverse PIP) are affected by this requirement. Merchants that accept American Express through a processor (default setup) are automatically upgraded and should seek confirmation from their processor will be compliant by the deadline.

Split-Dial and Split-Settlement IP Replacement

911 Software is currently working with American Express to bring you a new product - AMEX IP Split-Auth and Split-Settlement (IP Based Reverse PIP). 911 Software CreditLine Credit Card software will be among the first to offer full support for this new AMEX product. If you are currently using Split-Dial for American express, your software will be upgraded at no additional cost to the AMEX IP compatible product. You will no longer need a dial-up modem to process your AMEX transactions. All of your credit cards will go through IP. You will get additional benefit from Split-Settlement on AMEX transactions.

Non-IP accounts

Merchants that have no access to IP (DSL, Cable, etc) and are using Split-Dial will have to convert to processor based (non-Reverse PIP) AMEX processing. Split-Dial and Dial-Up based Split-Settlement is being phased out in favor of AMEX-IP processing.
