SVB T&E Travel & Expense Management Platform – at no extra cost

Precisely control physical and virtual card spend for employee stipends and travel, procurement and payables, and automate workflows for fast efficiency.

“We’re trying to take advantage of using our SVB card to earn rewards. Our small revenue stream is the cash back, it’s about $7 or $8K a month. It’s pretty important and definitely an incentive for us to make the extra effort to call our larger vendors to pay via credit card.”
