American Express flexible payments options

Giving you added flexibility to help your business thrive

Flexible Payment Option is a feature on your Charge Card allowing you to free up your cash flow with
an instant line of credit. Instead of paying your balance in full each statement period, you can choose to pay
off a portion of it over time.1

How does it work?

1

Make purchases on your Charge Card as usual

You’ll receive a statement at the end of each statement period summarising your spend.

1

Decide how much of your balance to pay

Choose to pay the Closing Balance, the minimum amount due, or any amount in between (up to your FPO Limit)1.

1

Manage your
own repayments

Carry over any unpaid amount to your next month's balance. Interest charges apply. Check your Account Statement for your Interest Rate.
