Role of Authorizing Officers
As representatives of the company, Authorizing Officers (AOs) manage Corporate Accounts and Card Members. For example, an AO’s signature is required when applying for a new Card, appointing a Contact Person(s) or changing contracts.
To change, add or delete AO(s), please submit the "Change of Authorizing Officer Form (PDF)". It is possible for multiple persons to be registered as AOs.
Account Limits
Account limits can be set for each Card Member depending on their use.
Account limits are set at various levels (company, department, individual, etc.) in order to flexibly manage your company's expenses.
Contact the Corporate Services Center in order to update account limits.
If you would like to set a new credit limit by department, contact our Sales Representative.
If you are unclear on the staff member responsible, please contact the Corporate Services Center.
