Using the Corporate Card Statement Date

Access to the statement date for corporate card charges helps admins stay organized and on top of expensing card transactions. With this feature, admins can create reports based on the statement date, bulk-remind users to submit card transactions before the statement cycle ends, and more easily reconcile transactions in accounting.

The Corporate Card Statement Date feature only applies to users with commercial tier cards and is currently supported for American Express commercial cards and Silicon Valley Bank cards.

The statement date can be found in the following places:

  • Card Programs screen
  • In the expense's details
  • Transactions screen
  • In expense exports
  • In Team Cards exports
Statement date is available for expenses from October 15, 2023 onward but not for historical expenses.

Card Programs Page

On the Card Programs screen, admins can add a statement start date to all cards in a card program by clicking Add Statement Start Day. 

Expense Details

When opening up the details of an expense in Emburse Spend, admins may view information under the amount that includes the statement date for the expensed transaction. 

The statement date will be listed as an individual line item on the relevant expense.

Transactions Screen

Statement Cycle appears as a filter on the Transactions screen, where admins can use it to easily sort through expenses. 

The Statement Cycle is driven by each transaction's posted date, rather than the expense date.

Expense Exports

When admins export any report, they will see a column in the resulting CSV titled Statement Date. This column will hold 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 will contain a column titled Statement Date that displays the statement date information for each transaction. This information will be included for both expensed and unexpensed transactions.
