Bulk Edit and Submit Corporate Card Transactions

You can now save corporate card transactions as drafts, update multiple transactions at once, and submit eligible transactions in bulk. This helps reduce repetitive work and makes it easier to manage high transaction volume.

Improvements

MOBILE

Improved Receipt Capture with Genius Scan

Receipt capture in the Emburse Spend mobile app now uses Genius Scan across supported camera-based receipt flows on iOS and Android.

This update enhances how receipts are captured and processed by adding:

  • Automatic border detection: Identifies receipt edges and crops images accurately
  • Image flattening: Corrects perspective for angled or folded receipts
  • Image enhancement: Improves contrast and clarity for better readability and downstream processing

With these improvements, users can capture cleaner, more accurate receipts with fewer retakes and edits. This update applies to creating expenses and adding receipts on both iOS and Android mobile apps.
