Managing Users - International Payments

American Express® FX International Payments offers you the flexibility to tailor user permissions to the individual needs of your business. Assigned administrators can add new users and amend their access rights, foreign exchange transaction limits and other account permissions.

User Administration Guide

 

User Administrator receives special access to the FX International Payments system to create new users, modify existing users, set user permissions and perform password resets – in addition to creating payments. Payments might also require approval by multiple User Administrators, depending on account settings.

 

If an account is enabled with Single Verification, User Administrators have the ability to create, modify and approve users, payees and transactions without additional approval. If an account is set up with Dual Verification, User Administrators can create or modify users but only with the approval of the other User Administrators. Transactions might also require approval by multiple User Administrators, depending on account settings.

 

TIP : With accounts enabled for Dual Verification, User Administrators must approve any changes through the system’s Approve tab.
