what our customers say

Corporate card nirvana

The dreaded corporate card is now a dream. Issue as many cards as you like, physical or virtual, by team or employee. Whether it’s client lunches for sales, or software subscriptions for the tech team, set custom limits and you’re off to the races. No more surfing spreadsheets, and no more nasty surprises for going over budget (because you can’t 😎).

Real-time spend control

Patricia from Sales needs to spend on travel, while Tomasin from Tech needs a software subscription. Set custom limits, then track and approve through Cape.

Set and forget categories

No team needs $5k of fava beans per month (true story). Customise card limits by merchant, volume, and days of the week to keep spending on track.

Stop overspend for good

Custom limits on each card make going over budget impossible. Spending alerts and one-click approval help to stop teams blowing their budgets early in the month.

Save on grunt work

Growth doesn’t happen while you’re chasing receipts and reconciling accounts. Cape puts everything in one place and automates your processes, saving time as well as money.

Keep a close eye on spending limits and transactions

Admins and employees can see how much has been spent and what’s been purchased in real time — on everything from transfers to card swipes — with our recently updated search feature.
