American Express® Business or Corporate Cardholders can now issue unlimited, on-demand virtual Cards on the Fyle platform!1
Virtual Cards have gained immense popularity among businesses for several reasons. They offer heightened security, they come with integrated spend controls, and they’re extremely easy to issue and manage for different purposes. If you have an existing American Express® credit card program for your business, you can now create and issue unlimited virtual Cards with built-in controls linked to your physical cards using Fyle.
These virtual Cards are an extension of your existing American Express credit line, providing a plethora of benefits while enhancing your expense management. Get unparalleled control and visibility on spend while retaining rewards2, points, memberships, and banking relationships.
Why should you use virtual Cards?
A card for every purpose
The best part about virtual Cards is that they can be issued for specific purposes. Let’s say you have employees who constantly travel, you can create cards for each trip. If you deal with contractors and sub-contractors, give them cards with spend limits to purchase materials and more, so they always stay within budget. Or if you have multiple subscriptions or vendors to pay, you can create cards for each vendor, with pre-set limits. Issue a card for every purpose.
Real-time spend visibility and automated receipt matching
Every time users spend on their American Express virtual Cards, they’re prompted via text to add receipts. They can simply reply to the message with a picture of the receipt, and Fyle will automatically reconcile it with the card transaction. Collect and match receipts within seconds of the transaction actually happening. As admins, you will see transaction data flow into the Fyle dashboard at the time of card swipe, via real-time feeds.
Granular spend controls
Set spending limits and choose when a virtual Card should expire, allowing you to manage your expenses effectively and avoid unwarranted spend. These limits get applied when the card is used and before the spend actually happens, giving you complete control.
Easy-to-use
Fyle's platform makes it incredibly easy to connect your existing American Express physical cards, issue virtual cards, add limits, cancel cards, or extend their validity.
Better security
A virtual Card is a digitally generated 16-digit number that can be used for online transactions. This is different from your physical card number, which remains hidden. Since there’s no actual physical card, there’s no risk of the card getting lost, stolen, or damaged. Additionally, virtual Cards usually come with limits in terms of spend limits or validity, meaning they can’t be misused.
