Summer is here! Needless to say we’re all looking forward to seeing loved ones and mother nature wherever possible.
These past few months, we’ve been lucky to work remotely across the globe, to help businesses better control their spending. Many long term projects within Spendesk were released, to provide even more value for our dear finance teams and employees.
This product update will be a wrap-up of the best features we’ve rolled out to provide you with more control, smarter cards and more comprehensive all-in-one spend management. So get ready for a roller coaster ride!
Starting with the coolest company cards on the market…
Spendesk cards - smarter, safer, and more customizable
Our smart company cards now let you set monthly budgets, spending limits, specific rules and categories, as well as authorized days & hours in which to spend.
Virtual cards are now accessible wherever you are
Single-use virtual cards can now be generated right from your Spendesk mobile app. Need to buy something online? You know where to go.
Collecting 100% of company receipts becomes a no-brainer
Created to ease the lives of hard working accountants, the new Play By the Rules guidelines help employees keep track of which receipts need to be attached, and enforces good habits of submitting receipts regularly.
If the rules you set are not followed and the limit of missing receipts is exceeded, employees temporarily lose access to Spendesk cards until they provide what’s missing to unlock themselves.
Spendesk - becoming the all-in-one solution you dream of
We’ve made a few other smaller (but no less important) updates to respond to some of your specific requests.
Safer employee login experience
Starting with how employees access Spendesk through secure single sign-on like Google and Microsoft or top SAML-based SSO providers listed below.
Faster employee reimbursements by wire transfer
You might already know our end-to-end fully automated expense management experience. We’ve added wire transfers within Spendesk for you to easily reimburse employees when needed.
Watch how simple it is now to reimburse employees in bulk all while staying in the same tool.

Discover a better way to track and pay invoices with an improved invoice interface. We hope you will enjoy this new navigation experience within Spendesk.
