Forums Payment cards American Express Amex International Currency Card (ICC) application/approval process – how long?

  • Skywalker 697 posts

    Morning all,

    I’ve taken the plunge and applied for an Amex ICC.

    This was a couple of weeks ago, and I still haven’t heard anything back. Can anyone shed light on how long this particular process takes, or at least, how long it took for your own ICCs to come through?

    Thanks in advance

    It’s a slow, manual process. Having said that, if it’s two weeks of complete silence, I’d chase up now.

    Aah okay – thank you. I will just sit tight. Not complete silence, I called for an update and they said ‘they’re working on it’ and thought that things were just going wrong. Now I know it’s simply a slow manual process 😀

    I applied for one about 3 weeks ago, was approved within about a week (this is my second time around with ICC though). That said, it’s now been two weeks and the card still hasn’t arrived.

    I did the euro icc and whole process was around 3 weeks, they did ask me to confirm my job title which I found a bit strange.

    Just an update for anyone on this thread and anyone on the internet who may be going through the same thing 😀

    I received the approval email today. I applied on the 30th April 2022, so the process took about a month.

    Thanks for tuning in 🙂
