Emburse Cards enables the finance team and business managers to create and distribute credit cards to employees to keep their budget on track. The customizable platform gives users full control over their business and employee expenses with built-in spending rules.

Emburse Cards

Web-based

Co-Founder

The ability to leverage both an easy to administer Dashboard along with a rich set of APIs fit our use case perfectly.

Need to capture more information from merchants where cards are used. Fraudulent transactions are hard to chase down due to the limited information provided by the merchants.

Sr. Accounting Manager

I love how easy the user interface is. It does what you want, when you want, and then more.

Director of Field Marketing

We love the ease of the Emburse. It is great to use with contracted employees.

Partnerships

The pricing model and ease of use drew us to Emburse. I had a friendly rep who did the demo and gave me a sign up link, and the interface looked good and intuitive.

Owner/CEO

This company lost out on thousands of dollars by rejecting my application.

Accounts Coordinator

Very user friendly on the purchaser's side. The customer service team has been absolutely amazing as well.

Operations Director

The support team is incredibly responsive and helpful in resolving time sensitive situations.

Software engineer

The API is great, and customer service was helpful and responsive.

US Office Coordinator

I know this is a tough one. Like "Warning, warning, your card is going to be shut down unless you do.

Very responsive and helpful support. Overall Emburse has allowed us to feel comfortable issuing cards to key employees that regularly spend on the company's behalf.

The ease of use, the ease of giving cards to employees and the ease of changing amount.

The Emburse journey has been excellent the whole way through and customer support has stood out as a major strength the entire way.

Sr. Accountant

I have really enjoyed working with the team to create the most optimal system using Emburse and I'm excited to continue to grow with them.

Community Manager

Virtual credit cards are just a great idea and so useful. Also giving people somewhere to upload receipts makes things so simple.

We found this out when a transaction declined and then we were unable to log in, and reached out to a rep. No communication, even an automated email, informed us.

Executive Pastor

We’ve done everything from trying corporate cards to using expense software solutions, but Emburse combines the best of both worlds.

I was able to easily pre-fund my account. When they closed our account unexpectedly, they did refund our payment quickly.

SAP Concur

On their website, it does not say anything about how long your business has to be active to be approved. It also does not say anything about your business needing good credit or any credit at all. It doesn't say the minimum number of employees, or how much revenue you need to have in order to get approved.

My company was just started last year but it's growing fast. I was looking for software to help me make cards for new agents who have certification class expenses to pay in order to get started. On average I hire about 10 people a month, each new hire needing anywhere between $10 - $200 dollars. You do the math. This company lost out on thousands of dollars by rejecting my application. It doesn't make sense.

My company is new, no credit history at all, but our revenue projections are very very high.

If I could have at least gotten an explanation as to why they denied my application, then I would have an opportunity to apply again in the future, but they do not tell you why at all. 

I gave sensitive documents to this company, and the way that this happened makes me feel that this may be a scam. I've never heard of a legitimate company that doesn't even offer any requirements for approval. Even if they don't offer an explanation for denial there are usually requirements for approval. If my business mysteriously becomes compromised I will know exactly who caused it.

Application Rejected with No Explanation

They didn't ask for any company information when setting up our account. This was different from other competitors we tested at the same time/after who collected company documents, bank statements and did a full credit check to make sure they were comfortable working together.

Emburse seems to want to rush you into a trial and then do a check, and just kick you out if you don't pass. They don't communicate what they are checking, what fell short, or ask for anything from you. 

The setup process seemed too good/easy to be true and it was. It seems Emburse wants to get people in the door and sort 'em out later. They show zero consideration for small businesses. We are very happily and smoothly working with a competitor now who did their due diligence at the start instead of just making black box decisions after you think you are already set with the solution.

Unexpectedly disabled account 

One of the best credit card solutions on the market

The Emburse journey has been excellent the whole way through and customer support has stood out as a major strength the entire way.  From development support during integration to operational support once you are live,  the team at Emburse has always been fast to respond and incredibly informative and helpful.  Can't say enough about their support.

Emburse Review

Allows employees to manage business expenses with little overhead and administration

Great value and support

Reliable Service, Professional Team

Easy way to manage employee expenses

I have really enjoyed working with the team to create the most optimal system using Emburse and I'm excited to continue to grow with them! With their hardworking, dedicated and smart team, I think they'll get very close to just what we need! 

Emburse isn't perfect (yet), but their Customer Support is! 

Emburse 

Pretty good, some issues in the part with reissuing cards (always a pain to ship a couple of dozen around the world again) but just happened once so far.

Everyone has a card!

Instant infinite virtual cards

This does exactly what we need it to do for a very reasonable cost. Far easier to get setup and running than their competitors.

Great Expense Management Tool

Convenient for SME's 

Great Idea, but site is a bit hard to navigate

It's a free program, you get what you pay for. 

Servers Down Constantly Lead to Failures in Purchases

Hi Sarah,

We are sorry to hear about your experience. We were recently performing some server cleanup which is why the transaction page was slow but have since finished. 

And as of last month, we added a new fix for managing any failed purchases! You shouldn't see anymore going forward. 

Just wanted to add that we aren't a free platform, but because of our relationship with Housecall Pro, we decided to waive the monthly fee a long time ago. 

If you have any questions or if there's anything we can do for you to make Emburse a better fit for you, please reach out and we'll make it happen! 

Regards,
Chris 

Emburse dramatically simplified expenses. My team loves it!

We use emburse to fund our contractors on marketing programs.  I have had nothing but positive experiences. 

Emburse Works Great for Various Programs.

Great Solution - Fantastic Customer Service

Best decision ever to implement Emburse into our accounting procedures. Wish I had known about this sooner!

Best decision to implement Emburse

Before we started with Emburse we were getting receipts from every field worker and that added up to a lot of extra hours sorting and tagging to jobs and then having to cut a weekly check. After using Emburse, we've cut down so much time in the office by having the guys just upload a picture of their receipt and tag it to a job. They aren't putting cash out of their pockets and having to wait a few weeks for reimbursement. It's all done in one shot!

Emburse

Positive - it does lack a lot that a traditional business card would, but I guess it serves a different purpose? Or maybe you're getting there

Solid Product Coming from an Everyday User at a Small Food Tech Startup

Great product for expense management

We are very pleased with Emburse.  The support has been responsive -- although we have not needed much support because everything works well and is easy to understand.

We have very intention of utilizing Emburse as often as we can. We are a marketing and branding company with specialty in the spirits industry and in field marketing. Our usage is based on Client programs that we create and execute.

Love the debit feature

Overall experience is definitely positive. I recommend Emburse. Since issuing department specific Emburse cards, accounting has been way easier and I don't have to deal with purchase orders everyday. Setting up on Emburse was super easy. Our account was approved and cards issued within two hours. 

Great support team as well. The rep was especially helpful in helping me with disputes and my missing card.
