The problem

Lack of control over business expenses

Before adopting Alaan, DIY Advertising struggled with personal cards for their advertising campaigns. These cards had limitations and lacked proper expense control. Additionally, the small monthly limits of bank cards forced them to open multiple accounts, which limited backup payment options in case of failures.

Anton Trenin, the Founder and CEO of DIY Advertising, explained:

These challenges highlighted the need for a more efficient corporate card and expense management system.

The solution

Custom spending limits with Alaan cards

Setting up custom limits

Switching to Alaan allowed DIY Advertising to issue multiple corporate cards with customisable spending limits, overcoming the constraints of traditional bank cards. The customisable spending limits ensured better control over expenses, enabling the company to manage its finances more effectively.Speaking on custom limits, Anton said,

Managing multiple transactions

In addition to spending limits, Alaan cards also helped unblock the challenge of processing many transactions. Unlike personal cards, Alaan cards are designed specifically for businesses and can process a large number of transactions without the risk of getting flagged or blocked.

Real-time visibility of expenses

The cards also help provide the finance team with real-time visibility of expenses so they can track and manage ad spending across different platforms. This ensured budget adherence, detected anomalies, and prevented overspending.   

2% cashback on foreign currency transactions

In the advertising industry, where foreign currency transactions are common, the uncapped 2% cashback on all foreign transactions proved helpful. Unlike their bank cards, which incurred additional foreign charges, Alaan’s straightforward cashback significantly boosted the company’s bottom line.All in all, Alaan enabled DIY Advertising to handle finances better, reduce operational friction, and scale their business effortlessly.

Alaan's corporate cards solved these problems by offering custom spending limits, handling high-volume transactions, and providing real-time visibility into expenses. With Alaan, DIY Advertising was able to better manage its finances, reduce operational friction, and scale its business more efficiently.
