How is expense management integrated with banking & accounting on Open?
Managing expenses requires a credit card, but getting one for your business is no easy task. You are required to make an upfront deposit & secure a credit card against it. AND, you still end up losing out on almost 10% of the deposit amount. That leaves you wondering what your options are. 🤔 Well, what if there is a game-changer? With Open’s Founder One card, you can separate your business AND personal expenses with ease. You can get this card with minimum documentation & no upfront deposit. Even better – The card has a credit limit up to Rs. 200,000 at interest-free credit for the first 30 days. You can even manage your team’s expenses with virtual or expense cards or both. Use virtual cards for online subscriptions like Google ads or Facebook ads or AWS bills. Just set limits & load them directly from your online bank account. Expense cards can be assigned to teammates who step out of the office & have to make card swipes. When the card is swiped, your teammate will receive a Whatsapp message where he/she can upload the receipt & the expense is filed, just like that. Cash payments can also be recorded by uploading an image of the payment receipt. Open lets you manage the approval flow & reimbursements too. The best part? All these expenses are automatically recorded in your accounting since your banking & accounting are integrated. This is expense management, simplified.How exactly does Open automate accounting?
