The American Express® Business Card

The American Express Business Card comes with an exceptional list of benefits, tailored specifically to meet the financial needs of businesses. It can save your company money, simplify administration and provide unrivalled personal service and support — at home and anywhere you need to travel.

More flexibility

Unlike other cards, The Business Card has no pre-set spending limit, providing you with unrivalled flexibility to meet the purchasing needs of your business. If you use the Card regularly and pay your account in full and on time each month, you are usually free to spend as much as you have shown us you can afford.
 
More information

Each month you will receive a clear and detailed statement setting out what you have spent, where and when — including type of purchase (when supplied by the merchant or retailer). There are separate pages for each Cardmember on the account and a summary page for the overall account.

And at the end of the UK tax year you may also request our unique Annual Management Report at no extra charge. This itemises all expenditure on all Cards during the year, with charges broken down by both expense category (e.g., transportation, hotels, restaurants) and individual Cardmember. To request your free Annual Management Report call Customer Services on 01273 699 080.

More savings

All UK non-cash transactions made with the Card are free of charge. Using the Card to buy goods and services saves bank charges (up to 65p per cheque).

The Business Card also brings you exclusively-negotiated discounts on essential business purchases from leading business suppliers:

More teamwork

Supplementary Business Cards for selected colleagues will help to give you greater control over your company's expenses.

All company expenditure is itemised on a single statement. A separate page is included for each Cardmember, so you know exactly who spent what, where and when.

So, no more receipts to deal with. And no more time-consuming expense forms to administer. Ensuring that your employees spend only within the recommended company policy.

In addition, our monthly and year-end reports will provide you with complete expense profiles for your whole company, showing you where and when you can save on your expenditure.

The annual fee for each Supplementary Business Card is £37.50, normally tax deductible.

If you would like to request a Supplementary Card, apply online now or call 0191 233 3067.

More service

Unlike other company cards, there are no office opening hours. Business Cardmembers can access trained professionals 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Using a touch tone phone you can also get balance, payment or address information automatically.
