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.
Daniel Chu Kismet Healthcare
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!
Hayley Chapman, Business Manager - Corporate The Play Projects
Excellent. Cannot rate the support highly enough. 11/10. They literally call you before you have to call them.
Joseph, Head of Sales Kickon Group
User friendly system with exceptionally helpful support team.
Kirsty Gillham, Senior Marketing Manager SA Care
Budgetly has changed the way we do a lot of things in my team, from setting budgets and people permissions to spend, to accountability and quick reporting. We love how easy Budgetly is to use. The support team is incredibly friendly and super helpful!
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.
Megan Rodger, Project Officer RSPCA Tasmania
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
10/10 Customer Service. Whenever we need help, Budgetly is always available and very efficient.
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.
David, CEO NDIS industry
We've saved a lot of time with Budgetly! Our staff are now accountable for their spending and it's made our lives a lot easier.
Debbie, Senior Finance Officer Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation
I’ve saved at least 2 hours a day in admin work. We’ve minimised human error with our staff now being accountable for uploading their own receipts. Bill Payments has also brought everything into one spot and with the Xero integration, everything is so much easier now.
Eloisa, Manager MJ Landscapes
Great for solving petty cash problems. Looking forward to new features.
Louise Diggens, Centre Manager Clovel ELC KS Blacktown Pty Ltd

Budgetly has been great. We've saved so much admin time across multiple different sites and things like record-keeping are now so much easier.
Skye, Client Services Manager Spry Support Services Pty Ltd

Frequently asked questions
What is the Virtual Card?
The Virtual Card is a digital Visa debit card issued by Budgetly that enables businesses to make online or in-app transactions instantly, without needing a physical card. It’s designed for individual employees, contractors or project budgets. With Budgetly’s Virtual Card, your spend is immediately visible, tied to your broader spend management ecosystem which includes expense management software and corporate cards. Staff can transact and upload receipts via smartphone and link everything back into the platform.
Why should I use the Virtual Card instead of traditional plastic cards or manual reimbursements?
Traditional plastic cards and reimbursement workflows often involve delays, lost receipts, unclear budgets, and lack of real-time visibility. A virtual card allows you to issue a card instantly for a specific user or vendor, set spending limits, monitor transactions as they occur, and reconcile in real time. By using Budgetly’s Virtual Card together with the expense tracking app and automated workflows, you reduce admin time, enforce policy and gain stronger financial control.
What is the best virtual card solution for Australian businesses and how does Budgetly’s compare?
For Australian businesses, an ideal virtual card solution should support AUD transactions, integrate effortlessly with local accounting and expense systems, provide real-time spend visibility, and enforce compliance and budget controls. Budgetly’s Virtual Card is built for the Australian context: it works with Budgetly’s broader platform (including spend management software), supports instant issuance and ties into your financial workflows seamlessly. This gives it a strong position among virtual card solutions for SMEs in Australia.
How much does the Virtual Card cost?
The cost of using the Virtual Card depends on your plan with Budgetly - number of cards, user seats, transaction volume and additional features influence pricing. Budgetly offers the Virtual Card as part of its broader platform offering, which you can combine with services like expense management software and corporate cards. For a precise pricing quote tailored to your business size and card-use profile, you’ll want to schedule a demo.
