Billing Period defined as the interval of time between the start and end of your subscription. Billing period, also referred to as billing cycle, is monthly based on your subscription start date.
Further, an Employee Cardholder is active if they have been verified and has an Employee Card that has not been canceled or has not expired for the relevant billing period.
[2]Fee is exclusive of GST (as applicable).
[3]Expense management includes managing expenses incurred on cards as well as out-of-pocket reimbursements.
[4]Automatic conversions allow you to spend on your Card if you don’t hold sufficient levels of the currency you are trying to spend with, but you hold sufficient funds in your home currency to cover the transaction. This is an optional feature.
Automatic conversions use your home currency to help prevent Card payments from failing. If you have insufficient funds to complete a Card transaction involving 1 of the 10 currencies listed below, we will use the available funds in your home currency.
The 10 currencies are AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, HKD, JPY, NZD, SGD, and USD.
We will first check if sufficient funds are available in your transaction currency's balance in your Wallet. If the transaction currency is not sufficient , we will check whether your home currency's balance can cover the entire transaction amount. If it can, we will deduct the transaction amount from your home currency balance at the prevailing FX rate plus an auto-conversion fee.
