OnlineCheckWriter.com – Powered by Zil Money introduces AI-powered automated receipt capture and approvals, redefining how SMBs track and approve expenses in 2025
For many SMBs in 2025, the virtual card is no longer just a payment tool—it’s a strategic asset. It speeds up purchasing, improves security, and can transform expense management from a manual burden into a streamlined process.
Yet, many SMB owners still hesitate to fully embrace virtual cards because of an outdated assumption about expense tracking.
In countless SMB finance teams, virtual cards are viewed as convenient for spending but challenging for tracking expenses. The perception is that they behave like traditional corporate cards: purchases happen quickly, but receipts are often delayed or lost, and approvals get bottlenecked at the end of the month. This isn't just an assumption; it's a real problem.
Studies show that a single expense report takes an average of 20 minutes to complete, and with 19% of reports containing errors, correcting them adds another 18 minutes each. The result? Time wasted chasing paperwork and uncertainty over whether every transaction is properly documented.
That old scenario doesn’t apply when using the OnlineCheckWriter.com – Powered by Zil Money virtual card. Every card issued includes automated receipt capture—a system designed to eliminate the end-of-month scramble. In fact, businesses that automate expense management can reduce processing costs by 30% and decrease errors by 65%.
Here’s how it works in practice:
For SMBs, this means expense documentation happens in the moment, while the details are fresh, and without manual follow-up from the finance team.
Small and medium-sized businesses operate with lean teams, meaning every hour spent on manual expense management is an hour diverted from growth-focused activities. Manual processes are a significant drain; some finance teams spend hours each month just correcting expense reports. By automating receipt capture and approvals, SMBs gain:
The typical SMB pain points—delayed receipts, incomplete data, and lengthy reconciliation—stem from outdated workflows. With automated receipt capture:
There’s no need to send repeated reminders for receipts. Approvals become a quick verification instead of a detailed investigation.
Expense reports are always up-to-date, allowing for real-time financial oversight. This not only saves administrative time but also reduces the risk of errors or oversights that can impact cash flow and budgeting.
Today’s competitive market demands speed, accuracy, and visibility in every financial process. SMBs that adopt AI-driven expense management tools can allocate resources more effectively, respond faster to opportunities, and maintain tighter control over operating costs. With B2B virtual card payments expected to account for 76% of the $5.2 trillion market in 2025, their adoption is becoming essential for staying competitive.
