Using the Corporate Card Statement Date
The statement date is the date a corporate card charge posts to your card provider's statement. Emburse Spend records this date on card transactions so admins can group charges by statement cycle, reconcile against provider statements, and follow up on unsubmitted transactions.
The Corporate Card Statement Date feature applies only to commercial tier cards. Emburse Spend currently supports American Express commercial cards and Silicon Valley Bank cards.
Statement date is available for expenses from October 15, 2023 onward but not for historical expenses.
Statement date settings and data appear in these areas:
- Card Programs screen — set the statement start day for a card program
- Transactions screen — filter transactions by statement cycle
- Expense exports — Statement Date column
- Team Cards exports — Statement Date column
Card Programs Screen
On the Card Programs screen, admins can add a statement start date to all cards in a card program by selecting Add Statement Start Day.
Transactions Screen
Statement Cycle displays as a filter on the Transactions screen, where admins can use it to sort transactions.
Posted date, not expense date, determines the Statement Cycle.
Expense Exports
When admins export a report, the resulting CSV includes a Statement Date column. This column holds the statement date for each expense in the report.
Team Cards Exports
When admins export card transactions from the Team Cards screen, the resulting CSV contains a Statement Date column that displays the statement date for each transaction, including both expensed and unexpensed transactions.
