Some of the reviews about Alaan

“Alaan is simple to use, and addresses all the key pain points around spend management. In addition, it even pays you via cash back. I feel more in control of what is being spent and why than ever. The issuance of cards, mapping accounts, and employee KYC process is all super smooth and very intuitive. Customer support is always quick, transparent and helpful. The app connects seamlessly with Xero and I love the fact that you can review all items again before pushing into your ledger. Furthermore, the fact that the expenses arrive with the invoices attached is a huge time saver.” - Tarryn Aserman, Chief of Staff
