Virtual Corporate Cards

How does the Weel virtual corporate card work?

Can I dispute a transaction made with a Weel virtual corporate card?

Yes, we recommend always trying to resolve the issue with the merchant prior to issuing a chargeback - merchants would almost always prefer to resolve the issue without a chargeback.

We will act on your behalf and conduct the chargeback.

Using Weel

How do I load funds into my Weel account?

Because Weel's virtual cards work like a debit expense card you will need to top-up your Weel account balance before spending. If your bank is NPP (New Payments Platform) enabled, your transfers will be almost immediate, otherwise, any funds transferred into your account balance before 4pm will settle on the same day. Direct debited funds will take between 3-5 working days to settle in your account balance.

How do you automate the categorisation of an expense? Do my staff still need to choose a category code?

Weel will automatically categorise your expense as soon as a payment is made based on the enhanced data provided to us directly from Visa. This enhanced payment data allows us to accurately categorise an expense pre-mapped to your individual chart of accounts. Both Team Members and Admins can still override an expense categorisation at any time. Any changes you make will be recorded by Weel and used the next time a purchase is made at that particular merchant.

Is virtual card spending data available in real time?

Yes, all payment data is available in Weel in real time and instantly synced to your accounting software.

Is Weel connected to my existing bank account or credit card?

Can I make a purchase in foreign currency?

Transactions made in a currency other than Australian Dollars will be subject to the prevailing Acquirer exchange rate at the time, plus a 0.95% foreign transaction fee.

Can I capture a receipt for each transaction?

Yes, once you have made a payment we will instantly send you a push notification to take a photo of your receipt. All receipts will instantly be uploaded into your accounting software for your record.

What if a payment is made that is outside of our expense policy?

Weel allows you to program your expense policy directly into the card itself. Any expense that is outside of your policy will be declined at the point of purchase. For example, you can lock individual cards to a set of merchants, time of day, transaction limit and more.
