Prepaid cards with built-in spending limits
Prepaid business cards come with built-in spending limit controls to help you make sure that employees don’t overspend the allotted budget.
So employers can load money for the entire year on a prepaid card and set a limit for monthly usage. This way the budget is equally divided throughout the year.
Approvals to manage company spending
Since there are custom controls to restrict overspending there is no chance that there will be out-of-budget expenses.
But in case a need arises for an employee to exceed their spending limit, they can easily do so by requesting additional funds in their prepaid card. This process goes through an approval system where the employee’s approving manager must approve the request for the funds to be transferred.
Track expenses in real-time
Volopay prepaid cards are linked to our expense management platform. This allows company admins and card owners to track expenses in real-time.
Each transaction that happens through a Volopay card is instantly recorded on the system under the card ledger so there is complete transparency and visibility of expenses at all times.
