Virtual debit cards for secure online payments

Employees pay securely and autonomously online with single-use virtual cards from Mastercard. The cards are a great alternative to PayPal and corporate credit cards from American Express or other providers, where credit card data is shared with several employees. Virtual cards can also be used for software subscriptions and services. Thanks to the continuously updated dashboards, the finance team has real-time access to all payments and receipts, and can easily keep track of everything.

Smart Visa debit cards on the move

Thanks to smart Spendesk cards with built-in policies, the finance team & managers ensure that budgets are adhered to. They can individually approve time slots, days of the week and spending categories for each employee. The function to withdraw money from the ATM can be activated and deactivated with one click.

All payments in one solution

Spendesk centralises purchase orders, invoices, transactions, and preparatory accounting in one solution, and links requests to team budgets. This way, managers can check whether the expense fits into the budget or not before approving it, and there are no surprises at the end of the month.

Full overview of all budgets

E-commerce credit card payments, ongoing software subscriptions, and purchases on the company account are no easy task for the finance team and budget managers to keep track of. With Spendesk Budgets, finance teams & managers can see what's being spent in real time and make informed decisions about new requests before it is too late.

Time saved thanks to digital accounting

Spendesk automates the reading of VAT and allocation of G/L accounts and receipts, saving finance teams an average of 2-3 days in month-end closing. Thanks to native integrations (including with Xero) and customisable exports, you can export payments and receipts from Spendesk directly into your accounting system.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

From a control point of view, it’s a lot better. Disposable virtual cards are great. And the subscription cards are really good from a visibility point of view. When we sit down with the different department heads, it’s now so easy to point out tools they don’t need anymore.
