Meticulous expense tracking
without the receipt chasing

1

Set a receipt policy

A receipt for
every expense

Set receipt collection requirements for card transactions so team members always know when they need to collect proof. We’ll do the chasing for you with instant text reminders and keep you posted with a list of receipts that are still missing.

Three transacations with notification for missing receipt.

2

Save receipts in Relay

Digital proof before it goes poof

We make it easy for cardholders to snap pictures of receipts before they wind up crumpled and lost. Digital or paper receipts can be uploaded or email-forwarded to Relay in seconds, so they’re safely stored and easily found when you need them—forever.

Get it right from the start.

  • Make saving receipts a happy habit

    Instant reminders make sure you—and your team—snap a receipt photo the moment a purchase happens. The proof you need gets safely stored before it ends up crumpled and lost.

  • Always be audit-ready

    Stay organized and ready for the IRS with digital proofs for every purchase. No more hunting through inboxes or receipt boxes—just straight-talking numbers and stress-free audits.

  • Empower team spending without messy reimbursements

    Using Relay cards alongside a receipt policy gives you a safe and secure way to enable team spending—no personal cards or expense reports required. From coffees to car rentals, all employee expenses can be covered without the reimbursement rigmarole.

  • Get a jump-start with AI and automation rules

    Create smart accounting rules (with an AI assist), so you’ll never have to code expenses one-by-one ever again. Relay will automatically categorize every lumber purchase as Supplies or every coffee receipt as Meals—giving you a head start on your month-end every time.
