ClearSpend
The smarter way to control your business spending
What is ClearSpend?
ClearSpend is a free web and mobile app that gives Business Cards customers complete control of their account in real-time and lets employees check their balance on the go.
ClearSpend is a UK banking industry first, and works across all the major platforms, whether that’s Android, iOS or through your web browser.
See how ClearSpend works
Watch the tutorial video to discover how you can use ClearSpend to view balance and transaction information, and find out how to make changes to employee's credit limits and merchant category blocking.
Why use ClearSpend?
Clear visibility of every transaction
View cardholders transactions and balance information in real time as they happen, with handy graphs to help you analyse spend patterns.
Control what's spent where
Set cardholder credit limits (daily, monthly or per transaction) and merchant category blocking. Email and push notifications keep cardholders aware of changes.
Communicate with your cardholders
Employees can download their own version of the app and easily send requests to change their card restrictions, which you simply accept or decline.
Turn the card 'on or off'
You can block a card and enable it again or even close a card if an employee leaves the company.
Who can register for ClearSpend?
The first ClearSpend user within a company will need to be an authorised signatory and their email address must be recorded on the Business Card account in order for them to register.
Once registered, the authorised signatory can then invite additional users within their company to also use ClearSpend.
Sharing account data and managing account information consent with Third Party Providers (TPP)
If you wish to share your card transaction and balance information with a Third Party Provider company, via the Open Banking service, you will need to provide your consent after confirming your Clear Spend user credentials through the Clear Spend desktop/website or mobile applications. This guide shows the step by step process to do that.
