Connect Your Personal Bank Account to Emburse Spend

In order to receive reimbursement payments through Emburse Spend, you must connect your personal bank account to Emburse Spend. We make payments via ACH, which is a direct deposit to your bank account. 

If you already have approved expenses in your account, your payment will begin to process automatically after you add your bank account. There is nothing else you need to do after you complete this step.

Connect Your Bank Account

1. Select your name in the top right corner of Emburse Spend and select Personal Settings.

Connect Using Your Online Banking Credentials with Plaid

Select Connect with Plaid to automatically connect to any listed bank using your online banking credentials. If your bank does not come up when you search, connect manually following the instructions below.

After selecting your bank, you will be asked to log in using your online banking credentials. This is a secure process (the credentials used here are not stored anywhere on our servers and you wil only need to do this once). 

If you connect a Chase Bank, US Bank, or PNC Bank account via Plaid, you may notice that the account numbers (last four digits) listed after you make the connection are not familiar to you. This is expected; to help protect their members from fraud, these banks use substitute account numbers when providing your bank account information to Plaid. These banks allow you to disable this feature, but leaving it enabled will not affect your ability to connect the bank account. If you wish to confirm this information, please contact your banker or customer service associate.

Connect Manually
