Card Connect how it works

Keep your cards. Fix your expense process.

Most expense tools require you to replace your existing cards.

Card Connect™ is different.

With Expend’s Bring Your Own Card (BYOC) capability, you can connect your existing Visa and Mastercard business cards directly into the platform. Employees continue using the cards they already have, while finance gains full visibility and control over spend.

No migration. No retraining. No disruption.

Connect your cards and manage every transaction in one place

Card Connect™ integrates your external business cards into Expend, turning every transaction into a structured expense automatically.

Once connected, transactions sync in real time, employees are prompted to add receipts instantly, and expenses are categorised and submitted as they happen.

For businesses with large numbers of existing cards, Card Connect™ supports bulk onboarding of Mastercard card details. This means hundreds of cards can be securely added at once, without needing to connect them individually, making rollout fast and scalable across teams.

Turn card spend into complete, accurate expense data

Every transaction appears in Expend as soon as it happens, giving finance teams a live view of company spend across all connected cards.

Employees are prompted to capture receipts and complete expenses at the time of purchase, with data automatically extracted and categorised. This ensures expenses are accurate before they reach finance, reducing errors and speeding up review.

Keep your cards and credit limits without the admin

Employees can continue using their preferred business credit cards, keeping existing credit limits, reward schemes and established banking relationships.

At the same time, Expend removes the need for manual reconciliation by capturing and structuring expense data in real time. What used to happen at month-end is now done automatically.

Can I use my existing business credit cards with Expend?

Yes. Card Connect™ allows you to connect existing Visa and Mastercard business cards, so there’s no need to issue new cards or change how employees spend.

No. You can keep your existing banking setup, credit limits, and rewards currently in place for the team while using Expend to manage expenses.

Transactions are synced in real time from connected cards. Employees are then prompted to add receipts and complete the expense directly in the app.

Because transactions and expense data are captured and completed as they happen, there’s no need to manually match receipts and statements at month-end. Which means there's no need to remember multiple logins for each bank or credit card to view and reconcile transactions, too - it's all in one place.

Yes. Businesses can use both connected cards and Expend cards within the same account, giving flexibility across different teams or spending needs.
