Managing Global Payment Templates

American Express® FX International Payments allows you to create templates for those beneficiaries to whom you make regular payments. After a template is created, all you need to enter when making a foreign exchange payment is the value date.

TIP : A template payment must be for the same amount and to the same payee each time.

Creating a Template

To create a template, go to Create & Manage Payments > Manage Templates and choose Create Template from the top tab, then:

1Enter your chosen Template Name.
2Choose Outgoing Telegraphic Transfer or Outgoing Draft from the Product drop-down menu.
3Select the currency you want to send to your beneficiary from the Currency drop-down menu.
4Choose the Settlement Method from the drop-down menu, and select the appropriate account number.
5Enter the Payment Amount and Payee Currency.

TIP : Should you wish to add a note, Payment Notes to Payee will be sent with the payment instruction and are viewable by your payee.

6Once you have entered all the mandatory information, click Create Template. You’ll see a green success message confirming your action and advising you of the new Template ID.
7When creating a payment using a new template, simply select the Template Payment tab under Create a Spot Payment and search for the template you require by Template ID or Template Name. All stored information will then be displayed on screen.
