Improvements

CARDS

Added Enrollment Routing for American Express Virtual Cards

Administrators activating American Express virtual card issuing can now select the enrollment option that matches their organization’s card program setup before continuing onboarding. One option supports mobile wallet provisioning for the enrolled cardholder, while the other supports enrolling a card on behalf of another user but does not support mobile wallet provisioning.

See Enroll in American Express® Virtual Card Issuing in Emburse Spend for more information.

Added Manual Statement Upload Support for Eligible American Express® Programs

Administrators for eligible American Express® card programs can now access manual statement onboarding when enabled for their organization. This update provides a supported workflow for uploading historical transaction data beyond the standard 90-day automated feed window.

See Create and Manage a Statement Upload Corporate Card Program for steps.

PERFORMANCE

Improved Transaction and Reimbursement Page Performance

Emburse Spend now reduces unnecessary count requests across transaction and reimbursement workflows. This update improves responsiveness by limiting count refreshes to visible tabs and reducing unnecessary background processing during tab navigation for admin, delegate, and personal views.

Improved Expense and Saved Search Performance

Emburse Spend now improves performance for expense search and saved search workflows by reducing unnecessary processing and optimizing how large result sets and expense tag filters are handled. These updates improve responsiveness and reduce backend load during search-related workflows.

Bug Fixes

PROFILE

Resolved Personal Address Update Failures

Some users were unable to update personal address information in Emburse Spend. This update resolves an issue that prevented address changes from saving successfully in user profiles.

EXPENSE

Corrected Expense Split Suggestion Amounts

Users reviewing attendee-related expense splits could see incorrect decimal placement in Insights split suggestions. The system now displays suggested split amounts correctly during expense review workflows.

CARDS

Resolved Duplicate VISA SFTP Transactions

Some organizations experienced duplicate VISA SFTP transaction imports. This update resolves duplicate transaction creation during feed synchronization.

Resolved Incorrect Pending Authorization Statuses

Some card authorizations continued to display as pending after the authorization had already closed. This update corrects transaction status handling for affected card workflows.
