With these new features, joint American Express and Emburse customers can quickly issue Amex Virtual Cards within Emburse’s platform, expense entries are created and categorized automatically with mobile notifications on-the-go, and finance teams gain increased visibility into spend as it happens.
"Expense management remains a cumbersome process for our enterprise customers. They are looking for ways to simplify the employee experience whilst strengthening policy adherence and controls. We're thrilled to partner with Emburse to deliver an intelligent expense experience and give our customers even more from their card programs,” said Widad Chaoui, Senior Vice President of Corporate and B2B Products, American Express.
“This expansion makes it even easier for our shared customers to manage business spend with confidence and speed,” said Paul Nagy, Chief Product Officer of Emburse. “Together, we’re helping organizations simplify the way employees pay for and reconcile expenses – giving teams enhanced clarity, actionable insight and a better overall user experience.”
A virtual card is a digital payment method with a unique card number, expiration date and security code that protects sensitive financial information and helps businesses better manage expenses for employee and non-employee spending, supplier payments, and projects. Last year, American Express and Emburse introduced American Express Virtual Card capabilities within Emburse Spend, streamlining expense management for small and midsize businesses.
With American Express' Real-Time Transaction Data capability, Corporate Card transaction data flows through expense management software as purchases happen, automatically generating and pre-populating expense submissions. This prompts mobile app notifications to Card Members to upload receipts or any other requirements and gives administrators up-to-date data. Next year, this capability will be made available to even more customers across Emburse Spend and Emburse’s mid-market solution, Emburse Professional.
Emburse offers a comprehensive portfolio of travel and expense management solutions that support organizations of all sizes—from small businesses to global enterprises.
As a leader in global business payments, American Express helps businesses automate and streamline expense management, vendor payments and business travel with a selection of powerful digital tools designed to integrate with existing systems. Terms apply.
