Company cards and operational efficiencies
Go beyond prepaid debit cards or bank-acquired business credit cards by using a platform that delivers unparalleled control to your financial team. Improve employee spending with both physical and virtual cards by assigning specific rulesets that limit card functionality and ensure that money is in merchant categories that make sense for your organization. With Spendesk, staying in control of your finances has never been easier.

Accounting controls that actually work
Prepaid expense card solutions are popular spend management tools, and many companies offer them. Unfortunately, these tools can’t control company spending by themselves. Because teams and departments have specific needs and require different financial allocations, you’ll need better financial management to bring spending under control. With Spendesk, these robust accounting tools are consolidated into a single, intuitive platform that is simple and easy to use.

100% visibility on every transaction
Quit second-guessing on expenses. Spendesk provides financial management solutions that give your finance team a front-row seat to all corporate spend. Know instantly when cardholders use their cards, and get notifications on all financial activity. Make receipt capture fast, simple, and easy for employees using mobile receipt capture. Emburse cards with new funds, approve transactions on the fly, and see what’s actually happening with each transaction in every department — all in one place.

Consolidate and automate expense reimbursements
Everybody hates dealing with expense reimbursement. It’s a tedious process that can ultimately conflict with or delay your end-of-month close. That’s especially true if your approval and payment workflows are handled separately from the rest of your expense solution (which is common). With Spendesk, everything happens in one place so that submissions, approvals, and reimbursements are fast, simple, and painless.
