Early-adopter fintech Rho helps customers
enhance spend visibility through detailed transactional data
Galileo Financial Technologies, a leading financial technology
company owned by SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFI), is now
offering its fintech clients, with fintech Rho as the first to
launch, the ability to connect their business customers to
Mastercard Smart Data, a market-leading expense reporting and
analytics suite. By integrating detailed transactional data
directly from Mastercard, businesses can significantly reduce the
time and complexity of managing corporate expenses.
Most businesses endure time-consuming, cumbersome manual
processes that increase errors, fraud and delay reimbursements. In
fact, companies spend nearly 3,000 hours correcting errors across
roughly 51,000 expense reports annually. Mastercard Smart Data is a
service that offers businesses enriched transaction data to better
monitor costs and spending.
Rho, the platform businesses use to manage cash and spend, has
already helped clients realize significant benefits with Mastercard
Smart Data. "We decided to integrate Mastercard Smart Data via
Galileo into our platform to unlock even more spend control and
value for world-class organizations who trust Rho to manage how
money moves in and out of their organizations,” said Everett Cook,
co-founder & CEO at Rho.
For Galileo fintech clients, leveraging Mastercard Smart Data
allows their business customers to automatically ingest detailed
purchase information into their existing enterprise resource
planning (ERP) or expense management systems, accelerating the
process. For example, when an employee uses a company card to pay
for a hotel room, Mastercard provides up-to-date data about the
type of room, room rates and incidental purchases directly from the
hotel.
Typically offered through sponsor banks, Galileo is the first
issuer-processor to offer Mastercard Smart Data.
Key benefits of Mastercard Smart Data for businesses
include:
- Enriched transactional data for better spend visibility and
allocation
- Simplified expense management processes
- Elimination of manual work and reporting guesswork
- Easily control spending and generate spend reports
- Seamless integration into organizational accounting
software
When combined with Galileo Corporate Hierarchy, business
accounting teams can easily allocate expense spending by
individual, team, location, etc., via their ERP system, creating
additional efficiencies. The Galileo Corporate Hierarchy feature
provides a native method for organizing corporate payment card
accounts into a multi-tiered system, enabling businesses to track
expenses and see trends by department, group, or team. This
hierarchical arrangement enhances visibility and control over
spending and prepares businesses for additional functionalities
like group spend controls in the future.
"Access to better spend data helps businesses gain a
comprehensive view of their corporate expenses," said David Feuer,
chief product officer at Galileo. "As a trusted B2B technology
partner, connecting our fintech clients' customers to Mastercard
Smart Data layers on our commitment to helping businesses
efficiently operate through simplified, streamlined expense
management tools."
