What’s an Apron Expense Card
Apron Expense Cards let you issue multiple cards to employees so they can pay for business-related expenses. You stay in full control as an Admin – you can set custom spending limits, track all transactions in one place, and manage everything in the app.
Apron Expense Cards aren’t credit cards – they work like prepaid cards. You’ll need to add money to your dedicated account (your Apron Wallet) before the cards can be used.
Expense Cards are available to all companies on any Apron subscription plan – there’s no extra cost to use them.
To start using cards, your company account needs to be verified. If you haven’t completed the verification yet, you’ll need to do this first.
Where you can use the cards
You can use Apron cards for both UK and international payments. When a payment’s made in a foreign currency, we use the Mastercard exchange rate, and we don’t charge any extra fees.
You can check the Mastercard rates here.
How it works
If you're an Admin or Owner, you can create and manage Expense Cards directly in the Apron mobile app. If you haven’t already, download our app from Google Play or the App Store.
Cards are ready to use as soon as you top up your Apron Wallet.
You only need to top up once – all cards share the same Wallet balance.
Funds stay in your Wallet until they’re used.

Viewing card transactions
You can view all Wallet activity right from the Home screen of the Apron mobile app – including top-ups, card payments, refunds, and other activity (like card verifications).
Tap any transaction to see more details.
If you're an Owner, Admin or Bookkeeper, you'll see the full list of company Wallet transactions.
If you're an Employee, you’ll only see your own transactions.
To filter by card:
Tap the ‘Card’ button at the top of the transaction list.
Select one or more cards.
Tap ‘Apply’ to view only the relevant transactions.
You can also view all card transactions on the desktop version of Apron, under the Expenses tab for your company. Transactions are listed starting with the most recent.
Access works the same on a desktop:
Owners, Admins and Bookkeepers can view all Wallet transactions.
Employees only see their own.
