Can I approve or reject expenses created from emails?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Every expense created through Email-to-Expense can go through your standard approval flow. When a receipt is forwarded, ExpenseMonkey automatically extracts and drafts the expense. You or a manager can review, edit, approve, or reject it before it syncs to your accounting tool.

This gives you the same control you’d have with manually created expenses — but with a fraction of the effort.

Does ExpenseMonkey support PDF, image, or inline email receipts?

keyboard_arrow_down

Absolutely. ExpenseMonkey can process PDF attachments, image files (JPG, PNG), or even receipts embedded directly within an email. Our AI detects and extracts the right information, even from multi-page or foreign-currency invoices.

Can ExpenseMonkey handle receipts in different currencies?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. ExpenseMonkey automatically detects the currency on each emailed receipt or invoice and converts it into your account’s base currency using the latest exchange rates.

This makes international purchases, travel expenses, or global suppliers easy to manage — no manual conversions or rounding errors needed.

Is the Email-to-Expense feature secure?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. All forwarded emails and attachments are processed using bank-grade encryption. ExpenseMonkey never shares or stores your data outside your account, ensuring that receipts, financial data, and attachments remain private and secure.
