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.
