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.

1Enter your chosen Template Name.
2Choose Outgoing Telegraphic Transfer or Outgoing Draft from the Product drop-down menu.
