BILL (NYSE: BILL), the intelligent financial operations platform trusted by nearly half a million businesses to manage, move, and maximize their money, today announced the launch of BILL Travel, a new BILL Spend & Expense product that brings booking, budgets, card controls and expense management into one connected workflow. BILL also announced additional Spend & Expense innovations that build on its vision for a more connected spend management experience.
Stopping out-of-policy spend before it happens
Travel is one of the most common, but least controlled, spend categories for businesses. In 2025 alone, BILL Spend & Expense customers spent more than $2.4 billion on travel. But too often, travel booking and expense reconciliation is happening across fragmented systems, leaving finance teams without clear control or visibility across the full travel lifecycle. In fact, more than one-third of surveyed businesses identify booking outside required channels as their top compliance issue, making travel a costly blind spot. BILL Travel helps change that by giving businesses a seamless way to search, book, and manage travel within the same platform they use to control company spending, streamlining the process from booking to reconciliation.
“Helping businesses gain more control and visibility while streamlining operations is a top priority for BILL, and travel is one of the most important areas where we can improve that for customers,” said Mike Cieri, EVP of Software at BILL. “Because booking, payment, and reconciliation often happen across disconnected systems, travel is one of the hardest spend categories for growing businesses to manage. With BILL Travel and our latest Spend & Expense innovations, we’re helping SMBs bring travel into one connected workflow to reduce costs and manual work, with more control before spend happens, better visibility as it happens, and fewer out-of-policy bookings.”
Introducing BILL Travel: book, control, and reconcile in one experience
Built directly into BILL Spend & Expense, key capabilities of BILL Travel will include:
- Integrated booking and spend management: Book travel in the same place businesses manage budgets, cards, and expenses, cutting time spent on the travel workflow by more than 85% and saving BILL customers an estimated 105,000+ hours each month.
- Proactive policy controls and real-time visibility: Prevent out-of-policy bookings and improve visibility for finance teams into travel spend as it occurs.
- Simpler traveler experience: Reduce tool switching and manual follow-up for employees while cutting steps in the travel workflow by nearly 80%.
- Broad travel inventory: Access 500+ airlines and 1.5 million hotels in one connected experience, with better visibility into available rates at booking.
- Stronger oversight and fraud protection: Help businesses monitor card activity and travel spend while employees are on the road.
Businesses like Critereon® are already seeing the impact of BILL Travel in reducing manual work across the travel workflow. “With BILL Travel, we’ve automated 70% of our travel expense tracking and reporting, which has made a meaningful difference for our team,” said Philip Neff, Director at Critereon®. “Instead of spending so much time chasing receipts, reconciling expenses, and managing follow-up, we can move faster, focus on higher-value work, and spend more time helping our agricultural customers work more effectively across the supply chain and deliver better products.”
More innovation across BILL Spend & Expense
Today’s announcement also highlights continued innovation to reimagine the BILL Spend & Expense experience for our customers. New Spend & Expense innovations include:
- Expanded international capabilities: New features help businesses better support cross-border travel and global operations, including international card shipping, clearer visibility into foreign currency transactions, and the ability to pay balances via SWIFT wires.
- Transaction Agent: Now generally available, Transaction Agent leverages AI to help reduce manual expense work by automating receipt capture, matching, and coding, including travel-related receipts that often slow reconciliation. Since launch in October, BILL has seen nearly 68x growth in automatically captured receipts, saving customers 4,700+ hours of manual work.
- Card customization: New co-branded card capabilities help SMBs extend their brand across their spend programs while maintaining BILL’s flexible spend controls.
These capabilities advance BILL’s vision for a more connected, touchless Spend & Expense experience. For more information on BILL Spend & Expense and today’s innovations, visit our website and blog.
