For employees
Employees no longer have to front expenses out of their own pockets. Instead, they request an amount for a specific purchase and can make the payment using their Sepndesk (physical) debit card or a virtual card.
If for any reason the employee cannot use their Spendesk Mastercard and needs to pay in cash, they take a photo of the receipt via the Spendesk mobile app (available for Android & iOS) and create a digital expense report directly on the go. This is sent immediately to a manager for validation, and then on to the finance team.
For finance teams
Each employee has their own Spendesk profile and their own Mastercard debit card, loaded with a certain amount. So unlike a company credit card, you always know who is spending company money and where.
Finance teams can view company spending in real time and follow up on missing receipts or invoices by sending reminders to employees through the platform.
