Urge American Express UK to stop excluding non-binary people from credit card applications
Why this petition matters
I am a non-binary person who uses the gender-neutral title Mx. I founded the campaign Include Mx, which encourages organisations to add the gender-neutral title Mx to their forms. The campaign has successfully influenced Argos, Next, River Island and the Post Office into making their forms more inclusive for non-binary people like myself.
However, there is still work to be done. American Express UK currently excludes non-binary people from applying for a credit card by not providing an option for a gender-neutral title in its application process. Its application form requires prospective customers to select a title, but only allows for Mr, Mrs, Miss and Ms.
By signing this petition, you are urging American Express UK to stop excluding non-binary people from applying for a credit card and add the gender-neutral title Mx to its menu options. Your signature can make a difference in promoting inclusivity and equality within financial institutions across the UK.

Ambrose, they/them, current Amex customer, said: “I have been an Amex customer for years.
“I was really pleased when I realised I could change my title to Mx after I realised I am non binary.
“It's incredibly disappointing to know that I wouldn't have that option as a new customer when applying.”
