The process for resolving potential disputes is explicitly set out in all contracts that American Express enters into with its Suppliers. If there are any disputes / issues around payments or invoices, the first action is for Supplier to get in touch with their contact in American Express. In the event an issue cannot be resolved, then the American Express Procurement team will review the matter and work with the Supplier to identify a solution. In addition, Suppliers are able to contact the Vendor Payables team in order to check the status of their invoice(s) in the payments cycle.
