Connect your corporate cards

You can connect your 3rd-party corporate credit cards to Tipalti.

The Tipalti Support team can set up the Tipalti Hub to import your corporate credit card transactions from Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. This process brings all these transactions into the Tipalti Hub, making them easier to manage, and helps you collect and organize receipts for these transactions. Employees and finance teams can review them and sync the information with your ERP system, along with your regular expenses and Tipalti Card transactions.

To connect, ensure you have a corporate card, not a business card.

Before you start, we recommend confirming with your bank that they can enable a card feed according to the guidelines below.

Select your corporate card below to see the instructions on how to connect your corporate card with Tipalti.

Connect your American Express corporate cards

To connect your American Express (Amex) corporate credit card:

  1. Ask your Tipalti rep to send you the following forms:
    • Amex SFTP Information Exchange form
    • Amex Global Data Transfer form
  2. Send the following to your Tipalti rep:
    • The completed Amex SFTP Information Exchange form.
    • The completed Amex Global Data Transfer form.

    • The bank account number to which you want to link all the corporate transactions.

      Tipalti uses this information to sync transactions with your ERP.

    • The details of the bank that issued the cards, also known as the card issuer.

What happens next?

When Tipalti receives the completed forms and account information, our Support team connects your Tipalti Expenses account to your Amex credit card. This process takes about three business days to connect and set up.

Once connected, Tipalti emails you to confirm that the card is connected to your Tipalti Expenses account and ready to use.
