FAQ

How do we run expense management?

Rippling simplifies expense management for both administrators and employees. Admins can easily create and customize spending policies to maintain control, while employees have multiple convenient options to submit expenses—via email, uploading receipts, or manual entry. All submitted expenses are automatically routed to the appropriate approvers, ensuring quick processing. For complete transparency, expense details are seamlessly linked to employee profiles, providing a clear and organized view of all transactions.

What are corporate credit cards?

Rippling corporate cards are designed for managing travel and entertainment expenses, subscriptions, SaaS fees, payables, and other recurring operational costs. However, they are not recommended for inventory or capital asset purchases due to higher default risks. These cards are issued under the employer’s name, with payments handled by the business, which also assumes liability for any outstanding debts or delinquent payments. Employers benefit from complete visibility into spending requests and can set credit limits to maintain control and ensure compliance with company policies.
