Virtual cards for secure online payments
Employees can use virtual cards to pay securely and autonomously online, including for travel, accommodation, and office goods. Mastercard's virtual debit cards are an ideal alternative to corporate credit cards, where cards and data are often shared by multiple employees. Recurring virtual cards are also perfect for software subscriptions and services. They reduce the risk of internal and external fraud, you can update details and change cardholders any time, and you'll never have "ghost spend" again.
)
Physical debit cards with built-in spending policies
The days when employees needed expense advances or shared company cards are over. With Spendesk, every employee gets their own Mastercard debit card for payments on the go, allowing them to pay autonomously and securely. Managers & finance teams can set individual time slots, days of the week, and spend categories or limits for each employee, ensuring all rules are followed. The function to withdraw cash from ATMs can be activated and deactivated with one click.
)
Paperless expense claims
If employees forget their card, or card payments are not accepted, they can create a digital expense report in a snap. They simply photograph their receipt and submit it with one click via the Spendesk mobile app. Thanks to automated receipt capture with OCR technology, all important information is extracted. And Spendesk lets you reimburse employees directly from the platform! And a big advantage for CFOs, finance teams & accounting: All expense reports can be viewed from anywhere at any time, in real time.
)
Digital invoice management software
Spendesk centralizes purchase orders and invoices, and links employee requests to team budgets. This lets managers and budget managers check that an expense fits into the budget before approving it. Instead of managing expenses in various Excel spreadsheets, Spendesk gives you a real-time overview of all employee expenses.
)
Automated accounting
Spendesk automates pre-accounting by reading VAT and allocating GL accounts and receipts, saving finance teams an average of 2-3 days in month-end closing. Thanks to native integrations and customizable exports, data from Spendesk can be exported directly to the accounting system of your choice.

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.
