Card Blocking helps admins and finance teams accelerate receipt upload and expense completion for card transactions. Businesses using this feature have seen up to 37% more expenses completed with receipts uploaded within 24 hours!
How does Card Blocking work?
When Card Blocking is enabled, admins can set a custom time window — anywhere from 1 to 14 days — for how long users have to complete expense reports for card transactions after the transaction date.
If an expense remains incomplete after the set number of days, the team member’s budget cards will be temporarily blocked — meaning they won’t be able to make any card transactions from any budget.
Blocked users can unblock their cards at any time by completing their overdue expenses through the Weel mobile app or web app.
- Follow these steps to unblock your budget cards.
- To enable and configure Card Blocking for your account, follow these steps.
How do I know if my budget cards are blocked?
Before your budget cards are blocked, you’ll see a warning in the Expenses tab of the Weel mobile app. This is a great time to catch up on your expenses and avoid getting blocked!
If your budget cards do become blocked, you’ll be notified in these ways:
-
A warning in the Expenses and Cards tabs of the mobile app
-
An email notification
-
A push notification from the mobile app
