Moving to Budgetly has solved many of our problems we were experiencing with traditional expense management methods. We're able to issue cards instantly, set spending rules and even automate our subscription payments. It takes one click to send the transactions to Xero and they're constantly improving the product to do more. The customer service is the best I've experienced with unlimited training and telephone support and no wait times to speak to someone when you have a question.

Budgetly is very easy to work with from setup to after sales follow up. They provide good information on how to best manage the account.
Davenan Woutersz, Service Manager Me And My Space
Budgetly has streamlined purchasing for our organisation. Instead of the finance team manually chasing receipts and processing reimbursements, staff are able to easily enter details of their purchase and upload receipts directly into the Budgetly app which are synced across to Xero. Such a time saver and so easy to use - highly recommend this product!

Marcella Hernandez, Shared Services Manager Vantage Point Church
Budgetly integrates with Xero seamlessly. The data transfer between the two programs is almost immediate and the electronic storage and importing of receipts has saved us heaps of time at the end of the month.

Great product. I've been using Budgetly for over a year and it's been a gamechanger to the business. It's made keeping track of spending a breeze and reduced admin time.
Renee Sodhi, Relationship Manager Arkana Energy
It's so much easier to monitor funds being spent by our participants and staff. For example, we can now monitor the number of takeaway meals our participants are eating which has a positive effect on their health. The support we've received has been excellent, definitely recommend Budgetly.
Aisling, Service Delivery Manager Together2
We used to have some issues around fraud when dealing with Australia Post Load and Go cards, but that's not an issue any more. Customer service is at least a 9.5/10, I'd definitely recommend it.

Frequently asked questions
What is employee reimbursement software?
Traditionally, employee reimbursement software is designed to help staff claim money back after they’ve already spent their own. That usually means receipt uploads, approval chains, categorisation, and waiting to be repaid.
Budgetly takes a more empowering approach.
Instead of asking employees to pay out of pocket and claim it back later, Budgetly gives them controlled access to company funds upfront. Employees can spend what they need, when they need it—within clear rules—using Budgetly’s cards and spending tools.
That means no personal expenses, no manual claims, and no unnecessary delays.
Budgetly centralises employee spending in one platform, combining cards, budgets, approvals, and real-time visibility—so teams can move faster while finance stays in control.
Why empower employees instead of relying on reimbursements?
Traditional reimbursement workflows create friction for everyone. Employees are forced to cover business costs themselves, chase approvals, and wait weeks to be repaid. Finance teams are stuck processing claims after the money is already gone.
Budgetly flips that model.
Employees are issued pre-approved physical or virtual cards with custom limits, so they never need to spend their own money. Spending rules, approvals, and budgets are applied before purchases happen—not after.
Receipts are captured instantly in the mobile app, approvals happen in real time, and everything syncs straight to your accounting system.
The result:
- No reimbursements
- No chasing receipts
- No manual claim forms
- No staff out-of-pocket
- Less admin and fewer errors
-
More trust, accountability, and happier teams
What’s the best employee-empowered spending solution for Australian businesses?
Australian businesses need more than basic reimbursement tools. They need a solution that works locally and supports how teams actually operate.
Budgetly is built for Australian businesses, with:
- AUD transactions
- Native Xero integration
- Automated GST handling
- Strong spend controls and approvals
Budgetly isn’t a standalone reimbursement tool—it’s a complete spend management platform. Cards, budgets, approvals, and expense tracking all work together to give employees autonomy without sacrificing control.
Instead of submitting claims, spending is approved, tracked, and categorised in real time.
How does empowering employees improve decision-making?
When reimbursements disappear, so do financial blind spots.
With Budgetly, all employee spending is centralised in one platform, giving you live visibility into:
- Where money is being spent
- Which teams are spending the most
- Category trends and overspending
- Policy compliance
- Budget vs actuals in real time
Instead of reacting to expenses weeks later, you can guide spending as it happens—leading to better decisions, stronger governance, and healthier margins.
