Spend Controls: Set the rules once, then step back

Your team gets the freedom to spend what they need, while you maintain company spending control without being in the way.

Flexible spend policies
Set company-wide policies or tailor rules by seniority and role. C-level with no approval threshold, department heads with a monthly cap, junior members requiring sign-off on every purchase — all configured from one place
Custom approval workflow builder
Design approval flows that keep everyone aligned. Customise workflows to fit your processes and get real-time status updates and automated notifications via email, Slack, or directly in Spendesk.
Advanced card controls
Get instant notifications for any transaction that falls outside policy. Approve or deny directly from your phone, with full context — merchant, amount, and category — before you decide
Automatic receipt compliance enforcement
Give employees a clear path to stay compliant. Automated prompts, in-app notifications, and deadline reminders mean they always know what's outstanding — and the consequences of missing it.
Cards with built-in controls
Every card comes pre-loaded with your company's spending rules. Merchant restrictions, category limits, and time controls are built in before the card reaches the employee — no manual oversight needed.
Policy-driven request handling
Requests within policy skip the approval queue entirely. Requests outside policy are blocked before anyone sees them. You define the rules once — the system applies them consistently, every time.
Role-based approver assignment
Route every request to the right approver automatically, based on amount, spend type, team, or department. When someone changes role, update in seconds — no requests fall through the gaps.
