Creating and Adding Cards
Once you’ve added funds to your Brink's account, you can now start creating cards for:
Employees
Employee cards can be assigned to specific individuals within your business. Brink's cards eliminate the need for employees to submit expense reports, thereby trimming down the tedious and time-consuming process of tracking receipts and reimbursements.
Brink's also allows you to configure spend controls/limits for each card to easily track and monitor business expenses.
When a card is assigned to an employee, they can activate their own card and set a PIN. They can also upload receipts for their transactions, check their spend balance and activity, and view the card controls set on their card.
A few fields are required for a card to be issued to an employee, they are:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Phone number
- Email address* (optional)
* Email address is required if you wish to grant your employees access to the Brink's mobile app.
Utilities
Utility cards can be assigned to specific needs of a business, such as office supplies, gas, and other general expenses. These cards do not require any individual's information to be associated with the card and will not have web app or mobile app access. Thus, utility cardholders cannot upload receipts, view their transactions, or check their spend balance or card controls.
Note: Brink's cards are printed and delivered to your business address within 7-10 business days. Each cardholder will need to provide personal information to verify their identity in order to activate their card.
