Get prepared before connecting your Corporate card to issue virtual Cards
Step 1: In order to smoothly reconcile charges for virtual Cards on your monthly statement, and
not cause disruption to service, should an existing physical card be compromised we strongly
recommend you request a new physical plastic card or use an existing one solely for virtual cards
If using an existing card, cease using it for regular transactions once designated
Important: Designate one physical plastic card to be used as the 'funding card' for issuing all virtual cards. This card can be issued in anyone's name, typically this is the Neo1 primary Admin. All virtual cards act as supplementary cards under this 'funding card.'
Step 2: Once you have the card in hand, you'll create a MYCA login (American Express site,
Manage Your Card Account) - https://www.americanexpress.com/en-hk/account/login?inav=hk_utility_login
Neo1 requires that you log into the Amex MYCA site and choose which card you are selecting to
issue virtual cards against (thus, why you have to register your physical plastic card against MYCA
and then use those same login credentials when connecting in Neo1)
Connect & Configure
- Start by logging in to your Neo1 account
- Once logged in, you'll be directed to the Neo1 dashboard
- Go to settings and locate the Connect & Configure tile for virtual Cards
Validate your information
- Confirm that you are authorized to establish this connection
- Confirm your business contact information
- Confirm that you have credentials for My Account
Connect to Card Account
You'll now be prompted to be redirected to the login page
- Enter your login credentials - User ID and password - for My Account
- Click on login
Enroll & Authorize
Now you are ready to enroll and authorize the your Card for virtual Cards.
- Select the Card you want to enroll
- Enter a nickname for your account
- Enter the three digit security code
- Read and agree to the terms and conditions
- Click on enroll and authorize
Issue virtual Cards
- Select the users you want to issue virtual Cards (all users are selected by default)
Confirm your selections and proceed.
Tips: Until you approve budget funding requests, virtual Cards can't be used as they have no funds assigned. This removes the usual risk associated with issuing cards to all employees. An email will be sent to selected users to alert them of assignment, so only issue Cards to active users. You can request virtual Cards for additional users at a later date once you are ready to invite them to the platform.
Set visual spend monitoring
- Setup spend limit and notifications for virtual Cards. This helps to visually monitor spend across your program and alert when thresholds are reached.
Check for Cards not processed
- Your newly created virtual card will be displayed in the "Virtual Cards" section
- Click on the Card to access its details and update as necessary to finalize Card processing
