Option 1: More time to pay

With the Amazon Business American Express Cards, small businesses are empowered to make Amazon UK purchases now––and get extra time to pay by selecting extended payment terms at checkout. This is especially helpful for those high-value items needed for your organisation to run smoothly.

The ability to choose to pay later can help to flexibly manage your company’s cash flow needs throughout the year.  Paying Amazon UK purchases later may allow you to accommodate unplanned purchasing needs immediately so that your business can remain agile.

The Card allows you to make every purchase count, regardless of where you spend.
