Submit an Expense Report in Expensify via the Mobile App

Contents

    Introduction

    When you use personal funds for business expenses, submit them for reimbursement using Expensify.

    • If you frequently use a personal credit card for business expenses, you can connect your card(s) to Expensify to import purchase details: bank description (usually the merchant name), date, and amount.
    • You are responsible for linking your bank account to Expensify to receive reimbursement.
    • If you do not connect your personal card, you can add individual charges one at a time to an expense report for reimbursement

    If you are a company credit card holder, it is your responsibility to report to the company on the purchases you make with that card.

    • Once the card is linked, Expensify will automatically pull in your credit card charges as they post to your account. 
    • Your company credit card will be linked to your Expensify account for you. This will be done once you begin making purchases with it.  
    • Do not connect your company card yourself, or you will cause duplicate downloads.
    • Once the card is linked, Expensify will automatically pull in your credit card charges as they post to your account.

    Both reimbursable and non-reimbursable business expenses are grouped together on reports. It is your responsibility to categorize your expenses, add notes, attach receipts, and submit your reports. Some delegate this task to a co-pilot.
