Remote Expenses Card is currently in beta and available to selected customers.

Remote Expenses Card is a company-issued expense card built into Remote for Employer of Record (EOR) team members.
Instead of paying for approved business expenses out of pocket and waiting for reimbursement, team members can pay directly with their Remote Expenses Card. Every transaction is automatically recorded as an expense in Remote, helping companies manage spending and reduce administrative work.
Note: Remote Expenses Card is currently available as a virtual card only.

How it works for company admins
Company admins get started by creating a card program in Remote, defining the approved spending categories, and setting the spending limits and card limit renewal period. Once the program is ready, they assign cards to eligible team members, who receive an activation notification. After the card is issued and used, each transaction is automatically recorded as an expense in Remote.

How it works for team members
Once an expense card is assigned, team members receive an email and a platform notification inviting them to activate it. They can do this in the Remote mobile app.
Once activated, the virtual card can be added to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Team members can also use the virtual card details for online purchases.
Each transaction automatically generates an expense record in the team member’s account, and they must add a supporting receipt.
Team members can also review their transactions and spending activity in the Remote mobile app.
