The Alaan Card automates and centralizes expense tracking, allowing me to easily monitor and categorize spending in real time through the app, saving time and reducing errors. It also eliminates the need for reimbursements by providing employees with a prepaid business card. This means I no longer have to deal with waiting for approval or submitting claims.

What do you like best about Alaan?

Alaan Pay is an innovative and efficient platform charming for managing corporate expenses. It has an easy-to-use interface and strong features which makes expense tracking and spending controlling a lot of fun and clear without missing emphasis on transparency and responsibility. Its integration with accounting systems can improve the system's efficiencies as book entries are reduced thereby simplifying financial analysis and accounting. What is most interesting is the fact that this payment processor publishes the option for issuance of virtual cards which is very good for online transaction hence proving its friendliness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

Multiple individual Alaan Pay features are advantageous, but the platform would in fact appreciate additional capabilities concerning the generation of reports. The reports that are now in place are contextually fitting but their degree of customization is not very high. It should also be noted that extensive as it is, the mobile application, still has problems in terms of loading speed at the moments. This may inconvenience users who are looking for the fastest access on the mobile while on the move. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am known to use AlAan Pay for corporate purposes – particularly to ensure smooth financial management and appropriate cash handling. It allows me, among other things, to monitor expenses made by employees, issue encrypted virtual cards for online purchases, and also import cost data in the accounting software for the purposes of preparing correct financial statements. Moreover, AlAan Pay is a great way to control the amount that can be spent as well as meet the obligations such as safeguarding the companies resources or make every transaction visible.

What do you like best about Alaan?

From using Alaan Pay for almost a year now, we are using Alaan Pay everyday and it has always been very smooth for us - from card usage, topping up, doing our reports. It has significantly decreased the time spent on reporting the expenses especially with the integration we have done with Xero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

Nothing! So far, everything works very smoothly for us, and if ever we face small issues, our dedicated account manager is always responsive along with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

First is the cash expenses where we do not have to worry on having petty cash or funding several cards to be able to do the business expenses from differrent employees. It's one top up and everyone can use their cards.

Secondly, on our accounts, reporting has been very much easier and less time consuming than before especially with its integration with Xero.

Thirdly, we can see expenses realtime which helps us update our books more regularly as intended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Alaan?

Alaan is very user friendly. Initially we used some other card service provider but we faced many issues and they took very long time to topup our funds in our Alaan Pool account. Alaan has one good option to upload our payment transfer receipt in their portal so that the fund will reflect in our account earlier compared to other service provider. Alaan not charging us any service charges but we paid Service charges to the previous service provider who gave us a very poor experience. It is simplified our work and saves our time. We didnt face any issues as of now in their service and their customer support is very excellence. There is no many formalities to implement their service we implemented Alaan with in a week for out 6 group companies. We are using Alaan cards to make payment 40 to 50 times per day. It was quick to set up, and we didn’t encounter any major obstacles during the integration process, everything just worked smoothly from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

Other than admin you can give option to one more person to move funds from other wallets to primary wallet. Now our one of user is using admin access to move funds from other wallets to primary wallet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

Initially we transfer the fuds to our PRO's card from our bank account some times we experienced delays to reflect the funds in their card due to this many of our work also got delayed. Now we are transferring the fund through Alaan card so we are saving our time and our PRO's are doing their jobs ontime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alaan?

I have personally noticed an issue where charges from a specific vendor, Saudi Airlines, sometimes get split into two parts when posted. This makes it a bit challenging to keep track of expenses. Fortunately, I’ve observed this happening less frequently, which is a positive trend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Alaan solving and how is that benefiting you?

A major benefit of using Alaan is its streamlined approach to expense management. With the app, team members can easily upload receipts, allowing the admin team to ensure all documentation is in place.
