Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our subcontract organization (outsourcing IT company) uses it to give payment limits to contractors located in the US and Eastern Europe, and Kazakhstan to have funds for covering their accommodation costs when they travel to meet clients or for remote contractors that need to pay communication costs (internet, mobile phones, computer cleaning materials) or premises rent (co-working facility) and we agreed to cover them within definite limit per month. That works with Visa Spend and especially fits our strategy of bookkeeping with Intuit Quick Books as the primary accounting tool so we can easily upload per every person costs collected within any given reporting period.

Pros

  • Virtual visa openings.
  • Setting Visa limits per given time period.
  • Admin tool for funding account user.
  • Multicurrency
  • Limits per location.

Cons

  • Focused on virtual visa limits, some locations may need real card connected.
  • Limit per card and period - once reached and notified would be great to have extra 10% from the funding account added. Cause there may be FX differences or the person is in travel in a different time zone for calling to manually add balance by admin.
  • Admin account must assign names of categories only (unified for all users).
  • Invoicing tool - if user spend not properly to send a payback request.
  • Core services integration: Booking, Uber, Trip Advisor, AirBNB, Flow, GoodRX.
  • Loan request from a user to funding account: he may need to cover some uncovered by agreement costs - set request, set a return date.
  • Business reports at Admin or Funding account level to see helicopter picture as it is for a period even prior kept records to books or exported to CSV to process.

Most Important Features

  • Virtual Visa cards instant issue.
  • Setting card balances by Admin of Funding account.
  • Intuit Quick Books integration.
  • Faster to start operations with remote ad hoc contractors.
  • Easy to cover Job interview costs (transfer, lunch, co-working etc.)

Return on Investment

  • It is not feasible, but probably it takes 20% less time to start work with you contractor.
  • Once having integrations with Uber, Booking - probably discounts accumulated with funding accounts will influence the performance.
