Batch Management

The American Express® FX International Payments Batch Management tool allows users with the relevant permissions to approve a batch of payments at the same time, rather than having to approve payments individually. Batching payments together can give you a better overall currency exchange rate.

Requesting a Quote

 

To access Batch Management, go to Create & Manage Payments > Batch Management. To batch same-currency wire transfers, check the Hold for Batchbox when using Create a Payment, then complete the rest of the information as usual. Should you need to modify any details, click Modify a Payment. For more details, view the Creating a Spot Payment and Modifying a Payment tutorial.

Steps for managing and approving payments in a batch rather than approving it individually.

Batch Management

 

Once batched payments are created, they can be viewed under Batch Management. You can view payments with different currency pairs by using the filters in the upper right of the page. To review an individual batch, click on its Show details button. The transaction details of each payment within that batch will then be displayed.T

View the details of each payment under the section of Batch Management.

Helpful Tips

 

  • To review the details, click on the appropriate Transaction Number.

  • To approve individual payments within a batch, or an entire batch of payments, check the box to the left of the appropriate batch.

  • If you want to approve all payments within a batch, or all batches, check the Select All box.

  • Once you have selected the payments or batches you want to approve, click Quote selected.

  • You can also delete batches by clicking Delete selected.

Batch Quotes
