Administrative information
You will regularly have to deal with some administrative tasks as part of the ongoing maintenance of your American Express Corporate Card Programme. Below is an overview of the actions to be taken and the service that is offered to you.
You can request new Corporate Cards online via the Corporate Card e-Application. This process is simple, fast and very safe for both Card applicants and the Programme Administrator.
To set up your Company's profile, please contact our Corporate Customer Service Team on +31 (0)20-504 8999. The team is available Monday-Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. They will then create a customised e-Application for your Company, whereby the type of Card, the liability, the monthly statement and payment, and the contact details of the Programme Administrator are entered in advance.

The e-App can be used for the Corporate Card, Corporate Gold Card and KLM Corporate Card.
- Decline decisions are sent in writing to the Administrator and to the Card Applicant within 5 days.
- Due to data protection reasons, it might be that American Express is not able to disclose to the Administrator the reason for the decline.
- It usually takes between seven to nine working days to process Card Applications from receipt to account set-up.
- Due to fraud prevention reason, Cards are delivered but are not activated until the Card member activates following the instructions on the Card (americanexpress.nl/activeren).
The Cardmember can select the option for an urgent request via the Corporate Card e-application. The delivery time for an urgent request is 3-5 working days from receipt of the card request. The costs associated with an urgent request are € 22.50
Statements for individually billed Corporate Cards are made available via the secure Online Services. In order to receive the monthly email alert, informing the Cardmembers that the new statement is available online, the Cardmembers need to register for Online Services via www.americanexpress.nl/registreren and register their email address. The online statement can be downloaded as a PDF.
If Cardmembers need help enrolling in the Online Services they can contact American Express Customer Service (phone number on the back of the Card).
For centrally billed Corporate Cards you can receive a monthly statement in @ Work (Company statement). Please call Corporate Customer Service to register (+31 (0)20 504 8999).
