Business Travel Solution
Driving efficiencies on business travel payments
Our Business Travel Solution can make your organisation’s travel procurement and expenses easier to manage for colleagues, with travel costs settled centrally. It helps make expense claims simpler and reconciliation more straightforward for your Accounts Payable.
Designed for organisations making large volumes of bookings for business travel through a Travel Management Company (TMC), a payment account is embedded in your TMC back office system. This enables colleagues to charge travel costs directly to that account with specific project or cost centre allocation.
-
- Simplified expense claims process for business travel, settled centrally.
- Colleagues do not have to fund expenses using personal credit or debit cards.
- Greater transparency of travel expenses and bookings, with detailed MI to support reconciliation.
- Enhanced control over compliance within company travel policies.
- Potential to create preferred supplier lists and negotiate on price.
- Tailored reports that integrate with your accounting and expense management software systems.
- Available in Sterling, Euro and US Dollar denominations to minimise conversion costs when transacting in those currencies. Also ensures transactions undertaken in those currencies are not subject to currency fluctuations.
- To take advantage of these options a Bank of Scotland Current account is required in the relevant currency.
