American Express Token Service (AETS) API

The American Express Token Service (AETS) API allows developers to securely tokenize cardholder data, providing a layer of security for online transactions. By generating unique tokens that represent a customer's payment information, the API helps reduce the risk of data breaches and fraud. This technology works by replacing sensitive data with randomly generated network tokens, ensuring the original payment details are never exposed during transactions or when stored card-on-file across the American Express payment ecosystem.
