American Express® Go
Go virtual and change the way you do business.
American Express Go is a fast and flexible solution to make payments on the go.
Provide spending freedom for your people, control for your Program Administrators and efficiency for all.
American Express Go™ is a Virtual Card solution and mobile app that allows contractors, staff and company guests who don’t have dedicated company Cards to make pre-approved payments on the go—while giving Program Administrators visibility into and control over when, where and how much is spent.
Benefits for your people and your bottom line
Issue Cards faster
Issue Virtual Cards in just a few clicks. Employees can download the Amex Go™ Mobile App to start using them almost immediately.
Increase transparency

Reduce reimbursements
Pre-allocate spend on Virtual Cards to increase user accountability and reduce time spent processing reimbursements.
How does American Express Go work?
Create Virtual Cards
Program Administrators create Virtual Cards within the American Express Go portal, including customisable fields such as cost centre and spend limits.
Commence Use
The Virtual Card is automatically pushed to the user’s mobile app, enabling them to make payments online, over the phone or in person using contactless payment technology.
Charge Authorised
American Express authorises the charge and confirms that the payment falls within the approved parameters, then pays the supplier. Transactions appear in the app and portal as they occur.
Report & Reconcile
Spend is captured in the app. Program Administrators can download a statement from the portal and make payments to American Express within their monthly billing cycle.
Case study: providing funds to a remote workforce
The Challenge: As an insurance firm ramped up its remote-work capabilities, it needed to be able to quickly provide funds to its dispersed workforce. The process they had in place, a combination of company-issued Cards and employees using personal Cards and requesting reimbursement, made it difficult to understand where company funds had been used and by whom. The firm wanted to regain control of remote spending, and hoped to speed up reconciliation processes at the same time.
The Solution: The firm introduced American Express Go, allowing Program Administrators (PAs) to set up individual profiles on Virtual Cards that allowed remote employees, contractors and company guests to spend within set parameters. The result? PAs spent less time on reconciliation and reimbursement—and the people doing the spending didn’t have to wait to be reimbursed.

American Express Go is ideal for covering expenses for an employee, contractor, client or anyone who hasn’t been issued a Corporate Card. These include payments by mobile workforces including freelancers and contingent workers; covering travel incidentals such as taxis, meals or trip expenses for infrequent travellers; making on-site purchases at meetings, events or job sites; or paying unplanned or ad-hoc expenses in emergency situations or those where petty cash would ordinarily be used.
