Collecting receipts for an American Express card: how GetMyInvoices handles Amex, and how belege.ai goes per-transaction so no charge is left without a document.
Direct answer
Both tools collect Amex receipts, differently. GetMyInvoices is a portal aggregator with a native American Express connector — it fetches invoices and statements from the Amex account and thousands of other portals. belege.ai is transaction-driven: it reads every Amex charge plus the monthly statements, then searches email and portals for the matching invoice and creates a self receipt when none exists. American Express has no open API and is not on Open Banking, so belege.ai connects via a secure browser login with approval in the Amex app.
Decision guide
Use belege.ai: every American Express charge becomes a task until a matching receipt, self receipt or expense report exists.
GetMyInvoices has a native Amex connector plus thousands of portals and team features — strong when central portal logins are the main need.
Moss, Pleo and Finway manage cards and approvals; they do not collect receipts against an existing Amex statement the way belege.ai does.
Lexware Office or sevDesk handle bookkeeping; belege.ai feeds them DATEV-ready Amex receipts before that.
