PayCentral Eliminates The Hassle Of Reimbursement With Reloadable Card Solutions 

Many businesses lean on reimbursement processes as a go-to method for handling operational expenses, whether it’s footing the bill for a client lunch, covering staff travel, or buying office supplies.  

On the surface, the model seems straightforward and harmless: employees pay upfront, the company pays them back. But what appears to be a convenient system is, in fact, quietly draining resources, disrupting workflows and undermining morale by putting financial strain on employees. 

What if the reimbursement process is doing more harm than good?

PayCentral’s reloadable card solutions are designed to eliminate this hidden inefficiency. By allowing companies to preload funds directly onto employee cards, PayCentral removes the need for employees to front their own money, helping businesses streamline operations and support their people more effectively. 

“Our reloadable card solutions don’t just empower businesses with more control over their spending, they reduce the financial stress of their staff, helping these companies build trust across all levels of the organisation,” says Preniel Pentia, Director at PayCentral. 

Reimbursement claims require employees to jump through multiple hoops: collecting receipts, filling in forms, chasing managerial approval, and waiting for Finance to reconcile transactions. This leaves employees financially exposed for extended periods of time, particularly junior staff and field workers. A missing receipt or form error can delay repayment for weeks, leading to anxiety and frustration. More importantly, it can leave employees feeling undervalued. 

A survey conducted by World Wide Worx, commissioned by TymeBank, revealed that 76% still find themselves out of money before the month ends. 

A study by Sanlam showed that 57% of South Africans stated that their mental wellbeing was impacted most severely by financial stress. 

PayCentral’s reloadable debit cards offer a more equitable, proactive approach. With features like spending controls, downloadable reports, and real-time transaction tracking, finance teams gain visibility and control, while employees are spared from dipping into personal funds. Preallocated budgets also foster smarter spending and simplify expense forecasting. 

“As a Fintech Partner, we help businesses to reimagine their spending to create a people-first, future-focused workplace. We have come to learn that the way companies manage funds also reflects in the relationship they have with their people. Our solutions give businesses the opportunity to forge better connections with their people,” Preniel Pentia, Director at PayCentral.  

As businesses look to become more efficient and human-centric, clinging to outdated reimbursement models is counterproductive. The shift toward smarter expense solutions like reloadable debit cards isn’t just about modernisation, it’s about recognising that how your company handles money says a lot about how it values its people. PayCentral’s reloadable cards are already enabling forward-thinking companies to reduce admin, cut costs, and build stronger, more connected teams.
