Pay your bill

An overview of the
payment options available to you.

Whether you’re a Corporate Card Member looking to personally pay your bill or a
Program Administrator looking to settle your company’s Account, this information will
help smooth the process.

Remember, as Corporate Cards are Charge Cards, the Account will need to be settled
in full each month or late payment charges will apply.

There are two types of billing

Before continuing, it’s important to identify which of the below applies to your company and its program policy.

Central Billing

With Central Billing, Card Member statements
are billed directly to the company, who settles
these on behalf of the Card Member.

Individual Billing

With Individual Billing, statements are billed
directly to individual Card Members who must
personally settle these.

If you’re a Card Member and are unsure about which of the above options applies to you,
contact your company’s Program Administrator.

Ways to settle your company’s Account

Online via Direct Debit

Set up an automatic payment to avoid missing statement due dates. To do this, complete a Direct Debit Request form and post it to the address outlined on it. Funds will then be debited from the nominated bank account according to the schedule of payments selected.

Keep in mind that Direct Debit can take up to 25 days to be activated.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

EFT lets you electronically transfer funds from a bank account to an American Express Card. You’ll need to include your 15-digit Card Account number as payment reference e.g. 37** ****** *****.

When paying your Corporate Card statements, please pay particular attention to the country that your Account is set up in, as American Express has separate bank Accounts designated for particular countries.

Expense claims
