Watch Out!

You can establish monthly reimbursement limits for employees, ensuring budgetary control whilst providing the convenience of instant payments. You can also ensure audit trails and maintain complete visibility into all instant transactions.

Once the Instant Reimbursement feature is enabled, employee claims will be automatically approved through our intelligent OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system that scans and validates submitted receipts and documents. In case the OCR method fails to process any claim, administrators can utilise the manual approval/rejection method.
