You Will Not Believe This: Amex Is The First Credit Card App To Adopt The Dark Mode For iPhone

It has been a long time since the Dark Mode really caught everyone’s fancy. American Express, or Amex, has rolled out an app update for the iPhone that makes it perhaps the first credit card app made by an issuing bank, to adopt the Dark Mode. The Amex app for US users will be version 6.41.0 and the release notes say, “We’ve been keeping you in the dark about our new dark mode – now you can select a light or dark theme based on your system’s appearance.” It has been often suspected that banking apps are incredibly slow with adopting new functionality and rolling out updates that may add new features, unless it is related directly to a banking option. The one pleasant exception is Cred, the credit card payments app, which offers a visually appealing Dark Mode for the iPhone app. In India, the Amex app allows credit card users to manage their card account, check spends and track unbilled expenses made, pay credit card bills, check spending power to see if purchases will be approved, get updates on rewards points and the ability to redeem them as well as the Amex Pay option that allows users to scan Bharat QR codes to make contactless digital payments at stores or to merchants.
