Creating and Managing Payees

American Express® FX International Payments helps you avoid the hassle of repeatedly inputting payment information by allowing you to store payee details online. After Creating a Payee, you can modify their details when required.

2Clicking the tab Create along the top of the screen.
3Inputting all the relevant personal and banking information of your new payee in the fields provided, then clicking Create Payee. The information will be verified and stored for future use.
4When creating a Payee for eligible AccessLine transactions, check the box ‘enable Payee for AccessLine’.

TIP :We recommend that you create your payee(s) before creating a payment to help avoid your rate quote expiring during the time it takes to enter new payee information.
