Emburse Spend is designed to significantly improve the experience of both budget managers and employees purchasing on behalf of the company across many categories of spend. Examples include:

• Non-PO related spend: Emburse Spend is the perfect option for low dollar/high volume spend that doesn’t require a purchase order. Avoid the need to process invoices through Accounts Payable by issuing a virtual or physical card at the point of purchase.
• Recurring spend: Easily manage subscriptions, advertising costs, periodic services, and even inventory with a single approval. Issue virtual cards to support recurring spend on the frequency and amount desired. Set it and forget it.
• Infrequent spend: Not everyone in an organization needs or has use for a corporate card on a regular basis. Emburse Spend will support infrequent spending with a flexible, easy to manage virtual or physical card that provides insight and control to finance teams. Receipts auto-reconcile, removing friction from typical corporate card reconciliation processes.

A verifiable business and business banking information are required to use Emburse Spend. This information includes a legal business name, Employer Identification Number (EIN), physical company address, and a legal status of Inc., LLC, or Partnership.

Only organizations incorporated within the U.S. may register for an Emburse Spend account. In addition, the primary account owner must be a resident of the United States with a Social Security number and a verifiable physical U.S. street address (no P.O. Boxes). We do not offer Emburse Spend accounts to residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and other U.S. territories.

Once your account is created, Emburse will verify this information. The verification process can take several business days to complete.

Like most card programs, we receive a small percentage from every transaction that uses Emburse Cards. This allows us to provide the core features of Emburse Spend for free while improving the solution continuously. There are some additional features which require a monthly cost.
