Reduce accounts payable costs by automating the mapping, posting and integration of purchasing data into your Company's financial systems. American Express Corporate Account Reconciliation gives you greater control and simplifies spending processes. This easy-to-implement, web-based solution designed to:

• Automate your entire reconciliation process

Manage How, When and Where Employees Spend

Protect your Company against out-of-policy spend and fraud whilst reducing approval process periods with customised purchasing controls. Control expenditure with the following spending limits:

• Set a maximum spending limit per transaction and per month for individual Card Members
• Set a maximum monthly limit for all Card Members
• Set variable spending limits to ensure unforeseen additional charges do not prevent your employees from completing transactions

Access Accurate Data for Better Reporting

Our exclusive, closed-network operating structure lets us capture enhanced data at the point-of-sale. This ensures the integrity of data from sale to report delivery.

Improve Buying Power

Accurate purchasing and spending information places you in a stronger negotiating position with suppliers. Consolidating your spend with fewer suppliers could greatly increase your ability to take advantage of discounts from existing contracts.

Gain Procurement Program Efficiencies

American Express has direct relationships not only with our Card Members and customers, but also with merchants who accept American Express. This enables us to maintain an extensive database of supplier and point-of-sale data that can help you manage your procurement program more efficiently.
