When your bank feed is ready and it's linked to an AccountRight account, you’ll be able to download and approve transactions into your company file. Check the delivery frequency for your AMEX account.

Note that the first bank feed you receive will have transactions dated from when your bank feed was approved. Any transactions that occurred while you were waiting for the bank feed to be set up won’t be included. If you want to import and reconcile transactions dated before your feed approval date, you can import a bank statement.
