FinTech Glossary

Definition

Reimbursements are payments made by a business to employees or individuals to repay expenses incurred on behalf of the organisation during official activities.

How Reimbursements Are Processed

Employees submit expense claims with receipts. Claims are reviewed, approved, and paid through bank transfers or digital payouts. Timelines and policies vary by organisation.

Why Reimbursement Efficiency Matters

Delayed reimbursements affect employee satisfaction and trust. Manual processes increase errors and administrative burden. Efficient reimbursement workflows improve morale and financial control.

Common Reimbursement Scenarios

Reimbursements are common for travel, meals, office supplies, and client-related expenses. Businesses increasingly automate reimbursements to reduce effort and improve visibility.
