American Express today announced it is the first major corporate card portfolio activated for Apple Pay, enabling cardholders to pay on the go with compatible Apple devices. The mobile payment option is available today for eligible U.S. corporate cards, according to a press release.

"Businesses today are going digital, and American Express is at the forefront of digital innovation, helping companies to streamline their payments systems and simplify their processes," said Greg Keeley, executive vice president of global corporate payments at American Express. "We continue to invest and expand digital offerings for our corporate customers in ways that maximize security and enhance the user experience." 

Apple Pay enables American Express cardholders to add their eligible corporate card and pay with their mobile devices at contactless merchants in stores, or within participating apps that accept American Express. American Express added Apple Pay for consumer cards and Open small business cards in late 2014, according to the announcement.
