FAQs

Do I need a business bank account to use the Free Plan?

You will need a US business checking account if you want to enable the Expensify Card and set up direct ACH reimbursement. You will need to take a few steps to verify your business bank account and connect it to Expensify. You will also need to set aside some time and have your ID ready. If you’re not in the US, you can still use the Free Plan, but the Expensify Card and direct reimbursement will not be available.

Can my workspace have more than one Admin?

The Expensify Workplace only allows for one admin (the workspace creator).

Scheduled Submit is set to weekly on the Free Plan. Can I change this?

No, expense reports on the Free Plan submit weekly, and there is no way to customize approval settings.

With the Free Plan, can I add my own categories?

Categories are standardized on the Free Plan and can’t be edited. Custom categories and tags or accounting system integration are available on a paid plan.

With the Free Plan, can I export reports using a custom format?

The Free Plan offers standard report export formats. You’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan to create a custom export format.
