you could provide them with your per- sonal card or cash and hope for the best. Neither option is very appealing! With a prepaid card “with benefits,” how- ever, the scenario would look very different: • Cardholders can request the exact amount required for a purchase, right at the register, to eliminate the need to use personal cards to make company purchases. • Transaction details are available in real time for reviewing and tagging in an integrated mobile app. • Fromwithin that app, users can take a picture of the receipt, select a category from a custom, pre-determined menu that matches with your accounting requirements, and then carry on with their busy day.

Let’s say you have a property that needs a little TLC to get ready for a showing. You’re already scheduled to your limit, so you need to delegate shopping for supplies to someone in the office. Even if it is just flowers and finishing touches, these don’t come cheap! If you ask a junior staffer to take care of the legwork, you may also be asking them to pay out of pocket and wait to be reimbursed. That might not be a realistic option for them. Alternatively,
