Frequently Asked Questions for Programme Administrators

If an employee no longer requires a Corporate Card, the Card must be cancelled so that American Express does not continue to charge annual fees for this Card. Please cancel a Card via @ Work or email PA Servicing team at castsingapore@aexp.com.

If a Card is lost or stolen, American Express must be informed as soon as the Card Member is aware that they no longer have their Card. American Express will suspend the Card immediately and charges will no longer be processed on the Card.

Please contact American Express immediately at 1800 732 2566 and select Option '1' to report a lost or stolen Card between 9am - 5pm, Mondays to Fridays, except public holidays, or after office hours at 1800 737 8188. If overseas, please contact the local American Express Travel Services or a Representative Office. Alternatively, Card Members may also call (65) 6732 2566 during office hours or (65) 6737 8188 after office hours.

Card Member applications are processed and dispatched in approximately between 10 to 14 working days from receipt of the application form. The form needs to be signed by the authorised signatory and have complete information.

If you need a Card urgently, you can request urgent processing for a fee of S$55 per Card Member application. Urgent Card applications will be received within five to seven working days from receipt of the request.

If a Card Member does not recognise a transaction, the first response should be to contact the supplier and dispute the charge directly. If this is either not successful or not possible, the Card Member can contact American Express on 1800 732 2566 immediately to dispute the charge that was placed on the Card. A temporary credit may be applied to the Account while American Express contacts the supplier to obtain support for the charge. Research and resolution of a case may take up to 60 days to finalise, depending on the complexity of the dispute.

Card Members enrolled in the Corporate Cash service can use their Cards to access cash from ATMs worldwide. The withdrawn cash is billed to individual Corporate Card Accounts and appears as a charge on the next statement following the withdrawal. Cash withdrawal is capped at the local currency equivalent of US$1,000 for every 7 days. The transaction fee is 5% of the total amount. At least one transaction must be made on the Card in order for Card Members to use at ATMs.

Access to the Corporate Cash service is not automatic. Corporate Cash enrolment is subject to your Company's approval.

American Express' sophisticated credit checking systems monitor spend patterns in order to identify fraudulent or unapproved spend. This is done to protect your Company and Card Members. Any out-of-pattern spend will be referred for manual approval. This means the transaction will not go through on the Card until American Express has been contacted. Charges are more likely to be referred for manual approval when new Card Members start using the Card with a minimal spend history. The main types of out-of-pattern expenditure are large, internet or overseas transactions.

If a merchant indicates that a transaction has been declined, Card Members should request clarification on the reason for the decline. If the reason is that manual approval is required, the Card Member should ask the merchant to contact the American Express Merchant Services team to request manual approval.

To avoid a charge being declined when using the Corporate Card, Card Members can contact American Express prior to using their Corporate Card for a suspected out-of-pattern charge and seek pre-authorisation. We recommend Card Members seek pre-authorisation on all large, internet or overseas purchases. Card Members can contact our Credit Department at 1800 737 8188 ahead of the expected date that the charge is likely to be made.

If a merchant displays the 'American Express Cards Welcome' signage, the business is contracted to accept the Card for payment. American Express makes every effort to sign up businesses which are frequently used by our Corporate Card clients and which currently do not accept the Card.

If you encounter a merchant who refuses to accept the American Express Corporate Card for payment, please contact us at 800 186 1035 with the merchant's name, address and telephone number. American Express will then follow up to reinforce the Card acceptance agreement with the merchant.

Yes. However, it needs to be highlighted that all Cards belonging to the Company will then have to be changed. This is because the cycle number and the actual Card numbers are related. By changing the date you receive the statement, a new Card with a new or different Card number must be issued. All Cards belonging to a Company must have the same statement date.
