Control, visibility, & flexibility
Every employee gets their own Mastercard debit card for on-the-go payments, enabling autonomous and secure payments. Thanks to built-in spending limits, managers & finance teams make sure that all policies are followed.
Unlock specific days of the week, individual time slots, and spending categories (e.g. hotel, airline tickets or restaurant visits) for each employee. The function for withdrawing cash from ATMs can be activated and deactivated with a single click.
Give your teams freedom and autonomy to be effective, and stay in complete control.

Instead of manual expense reports at the end of the month, employees can use Spendesk virtual cards to pay autonomously and securely online. This includes tickets for a business trip, vital new software, or supplies for the home office.
Mastercard's virtual debit cards are ideal for corporate spending. They're a secure alternative to corporate cards, where credit card details are often shared by multiple employees, increasing the risk of fraud or misuse.
Virtual cards are also the best way to manage software subscriptions and services.

Spendesk automates pre-accounting by automatically reading VAT and allocating general ledger codes and receipts. Finance teams save an average of 2-3 days on month-end closing.
Our Xero native integration lets you choose the correct cost centres and GL codes from the start. Your ledger is accurate and up to date by default, and you save hours on formatting and review.

Spendesk offers more than modern payment methods like virtual & physical debit cards. You can also centralise invoice payments in the same place you handle card spend.
Spendesk lets you create purchase orders and invoice automation workflows. All employee requests can be linked to associated budgets and cost centres for better visibility and planning.
Budget owners can assess requests before approving them, and the finance team has a complete overview of all spending.
)
Collecting expense receipts is painful for finance teams. Spendesk removes virtually all of this hassle automatically.
Employees capture receipts through the mobile or desktop app the moment they spend - whether for a client lunch, a software subscription, or anything else.
Spendesk also sends automated reminders, so you don't have to chase employees for receipts. And repeat offenders can lose access until they play by the rules.

WHAT OUR USERS SAY
When you’re a fast-scaling company, lots of people have requests, lots of people need funds, lots of people need to expense or need to spend. Suddenly, you lose efficiency, you lose control, and you have a lack of visibility. Spendesk keeps us in control of things.
