Help With Ramp

Firm Credit Card Holders

Ramp streamlines expense management by automatically capturing receipts, enforcing spending policies in real time, and reducing manual reviews, saving teams hours each week. Ramp also supports mileage reimbursement. If you are a firm card holder, it is your responsibility to provide receipts and code transactions for approval. All transactions must be updated at the beginning of the month; a calendar invite will be sent in advance. Accounting will onboard new users and provide setup guidance.
