How Reimbursements Work on Slash

Slash's reimbursement feature lets team members who spend their own money on business expenses get paid back directly through the platform. Instead of chasing down reimbursements through spreadsheets and manual bank transfers, the entire process is handled within Slash, from submission to approval to payout.

This guide covers how reimbursements work, how to submit and approve them, and how to link a personal bank account for payout.

How Reimbursements Work on Slash

The reimbursement flow works in three steps:

1. A team member spends personal funds on a business expense
2. They submit a reimbursement request in Slash with the amount, description, and receipt
3. An admin or manager reviews and approves the request, triggering a payout to the team member's linked personal bank account

This keeps the process transparent, documented, and tied to your company's expense records.

Linking a Personal Bank Account for Reimbursement

Before a team member can receive reimbursements, they need to link a personal bank account.

Step 1: Navigate to Settings

From your Slash dashboard, go to Settings.

Step 2: Link Personal Bank

Find the reimbursement or personal bank section and click Link Bank Account. Follow the Plaid flow to securely connect your personal checking or savings account.

Step 3: Confirm

Once linked, reimbursement payouts will be deposited directly into this account.

Submitting a Reimbursement Request

Step 1: Navigate to Reimbursements

From your Slash dashboard, find the Reimbursements section.

Step 2: Create a New Request

Click New Reimbursement and fill in the details: amount, description, category, and date of the expense.

Step 3: Attach a Receipt

Upload a photo or PDF of the receipt. This serves as documentation for the expense and helps the approver verify the request.

Step 4: Submit

Click Submit to send the request for review. You will be notified when it is approved or if additional information is needed.

Approving Reimbursement Requests (Admins)

As an admin or approver, you will see pending reimbursement requests in your dashboard. Review the details, verify the receipt, and approve or reject the request. Approved requests trigger an automatic payout to the team member's linked bank account.
