Expend, the spend and expense management platform, recently launched ‘Expend Card Connect’, enabling real-time integration of Visa Business Card transactions, providing seamless processing of business expenses.

Expend Card Connect will enable Visa Business Card’s both debit and credit transactions to be passed into Expend in real-time.

Expand CEO, Johnny Vowles, said with Expend Card Connect, the company was “continuing to revolutionise” the expense management market.

He adds: “Expend Card Connect allows businesses to immediately see purchases made on any Visa Business Cards that are connected to Expend, and approve them for filing into their company accounts.”

Currently, payments on business credit card balances are managed centrally by a firm’s finance team, costing the company valuable time in processing each expense purchase. Expend’s Card Connect removes this overhead. It also eliminates the risk of errors being introduced through manual data inputting.

Johnny Vowles said: “In business, real-time visibility of costs is an important consideration.

Expend Card Connect continues our mission to improve real-time visibility and zero-touch processing of personal expenses and answers a pressing customer need.”
