Time-saving meets team spending

Free your team to book travel, pay suppliers and restock supplies. So you can keep business running as usual even when you’re out of office.

Set the limits

Monthly spend limits give employees the freedom to spend wisely, while you stay in control. They can ask for a limit change as a one-off or for good, if needed.

Say ‘freeze’

If a card gets lost or stolen, or someone spends outside of policy, you can freeze it to keep the account safe.

    Questions? Answers.

    What spending controls can I set for employee expense cards?

    Spending controls include setting a monthly spending limit, which expense cardholders can ask to increase if needed. Admins will need to approve any spending outside the limits and approve requests to adjust the limit.

    What’s the difference between a Monzo Business expense card and a corporate credit card?

    Monzo Business expense cards are debit cards. Unlike corporate credit cards, the money comes from your main business account balance and doesn’t need to be paid back later. You won’t be charged interest on spending, like some corporate credit cards might.

    Are Monzo employee cards physical or virtual?

    Expense cards are physical cards that can be used online or in person, including through Apple Pay or Google Pay.

    Do team members need to open a Monzo Business Account?

    No, they’re joining as a team member of your business account and are not opening a bank account of their own.

    Can I ask them to join using their work email address?

    If they have a Monzo account already they need to join the team using the email they have linked to Monzo. If that’s their personal email then they can’t use their work email to join the team. If they don’t have a Monzo account, they can use any email to join the team.

    Do team members have access to my account?

    No. Expense cardholders can’t see or access your account balance or move money in or out of your account, they can only see their own spending information and limit.
