Cashflow management
Keep your cashflow in focus and maximise your purchasing power with up to 55 days to pay and no preset spending limit1. Plus, get greater visibility and control of your expenses through our management tools and liability options.
Liability options
You can select the level of liability for your Corporate Cardmembers and establish accountability for payment of charges: either combined liability or full Corporate liability.
Billing options
When setting up your Corporate Card Programme, you can choose from a variety of billing options and ten billing cycles to accommodate your payroll periods and reimbursement arrangements.
You can choose to charge your employees individually for purchases or consolidate all charges into a central Account.
Online programme and Account management
American Express online services allow you to benefit from effective Account management tools 24/7.
The American Express @ Work® Portal enables you to manage your Corporate Programme all in one place and efficiently maintain oversight of your business expenses at a company level, including pulling consolidated spend reports, managing who has an employee Card, updating Account details, etc.
Your employees' online Cardmember Account allows them to manage their Card individually including paying their bills, checking individual transactions and updating their personal details.
The Amex App also allows your employees to manage their Card Account on the go.
Expense Reporting
Through the American Express @ Work Portal, you have access to expense reporting to manage how and where your business is spending money. Our reporting functionality allows you to:
- Access a pre-populated expense report.
- Add expenses and any out-of-pocket charges.
- Download the report for processing either electronically or on paper.
Travel rewards for employees
With the Corporate Card, employees can boost their rewards balance with 1 Avios for every £1.2
Use your Avios towards your next vacation or explore new places when you are not working. From just 18,500 Avios plus £1 for one off-peak Economy return flight, you could enjoy a romantic weekend in Paris. It doesn’t stop there, you can also choose to part-pay a flight fare in Avios or book hotel stays, car hire and more.3
Business travel rewards that work harder
On Business, British Airways' complimentary loyalty programme, is designed to give your business tangible travel savings. You can enjoy an accelerated earn rate of 2 On Business Points for every eligible £1 spent with British Airways.4
If you use a Travel Management Company for your business travel, request that that your On Business account number is added to your flight bookings and ensure these are paid for using your Card to receive your accelerated On Business4 rewards.
