Here some information regarding the payment:
You have two options:

• Direct debit: If you give Amex the persmission to debit your bank account directly, the monthly statement due amount will be deducted four weeks after the statement is issued from your private bank account. (= SEPA Lastschriftmandat "yes")
•  Manual transfer: If you do not allow Amex to debit your bank account directly with the statement due amount means that you have to transfer the amount manually to Amex after 3 weeks. (= SEPA Lastschriftmandat "no"). Our experience shows that lots of people forget to transfer the money within the period and therefore they have to pay reminder fees.

In Germany the process is a little bit different.
After you have made your expense report you will get the money back from the company (1 week later) transferred to your personal account. So you will get the money back from the company before you have to cover the costs via your private account.

There are 2 ways.  Either you transfer the amount manually or you allow AMEX to debit your account directly. For both options you need to pay it out of your private account.
The advantage of this corporate credit card is that you have a much longer date of payment then using a private cc. Besides you can connect this card directly with the Concur Travel Expense Reporting System that all of your transactions are automatically listed.
