Credit Card Import - Merchant Name Normalization
We’ve updated our merchant normalization logic to include purchases made through PayPal or LinkedIn. Previously, purchases made through these platforms would import with a Vendor value of “PAYPAL” or “IN”, but this did not reflect the actual merchant of the transaction.
Going forward, the true merchant name being paid through PayPal or LinkedIn will appear in the Vendor field for those purchases, saving the user a few manual steps and reflecting the actual merchant in question.

Receipt External Access Code - Email Notification
In early 2023, we made security enhancements to how customers share receipt images with non-Emburse Professional users. As part of this work, we introduced the Receipt External Access Code. The access code allows non-Emburse Professional users to view receipt images by entering the access code provided by the customer. This additional level of authentication keeps our customers’ financial data secure while still allowing them to share receipt information with individuals outside of their organization.
On an annual basis, the access code expires, at which time we email administrators, informing them of such. During the first expiration window, we found that several customers were confused by the notification, and did not know what actions, if any, to take.
For that reason, we’ve enhanced the Access Code notification to make things more clear. The email notification now gives more explanation on the purpose of the Access Code, and more clearly informs the administrator that the code can be disregarded if their organization is not sharing receipts externally.
