Description

Card Transaction Classification uses AI to code corporate card spend, enabling reliable expense data, by classifying transactions against merchant data and expense categories, across corporate card and expense.

Business Problem

Corporate card transactions arrive with terse merchant strings that must be coded to expense categories. Manual or rules-based coding is error-prone, so the books need rework and spend analytics are unreliable.

Solution

The AI performs classification on corporate card transactions, merchant data, and expense categories, assigning each transaction a category and flagging the low-confidence ones for review.

Expected Value

Raises the card coding accuracy rate and reduces month-end reclassification effort.

Prerequisites
  • Historical corporate card transactions, merchant data, and expense categories are available with stable identifiers and sufficient coverage for the target workflow.
  • Source systems for corporate card and expense workflows expose the required records through a repeatable export or service interface.
  • A named business owner exists to review card transaction categories and confirm the action workflow.
