If your company provides company credit cards (Corporate Cards) to staff to use on work-related expenses, and you use the Expense Management feature to capture expense receipts and expense claim, then you can also configure the Corporate Cards feature to use in conjunction with these features to track and reconcile bank/cash transactions occurred on these cards.

Please note, the Corporate Cards feature is meant to be used if your company has a dedicated bank account or credit card account that is used solely for claiming work-related expenses, because there can only be one payment method configured for each Corporate Cards. So if you have a bank account with multiple cards, and you also use this bank accounts to pay suppliers or pay employees using different payment methods, then this won’t be the appropriate bank account/credit card to use with the Corporate Cards feature.

  1. Create a GL Account that represents the Credit Card Account/Bank Account that is linked with the company credit card – this should be a Liability type account:

  6. You can reconcile the transactions occurred using the corporate cards in the Reconciliation Statements screen just like a normal cash account:
