Problem

A time and effort-intensive petty cash management system

PNB has always been at the forefront of digital banking. While they had great financial operational practices in place, a pain point for the organization was related to their petty cash management in respect of their UAE branch. Traditional methods involving manual paperwork, verification and reconciliations led to delays, errors and inefficiencies. Furthermore, real-time visibility over petty cash transactions was lacking.

There was a need to innovate and coming across Alaan’s launch made PNB realize there was an easy and reliable way to transform their handling of business expenses.

Solution

An advanced spend management platform, eliminating the need for manual reimbursement

PNB signed up with Alaan to introduce an expense management solution to address the bank’s challenges. They funded their account, set limits, issued cards, and were up and running in no time!

By issuing Alaan cards to PNB employees in Dubai, the bank replaced their manual reimbursement processes and enabled convenient and transparent petty cash transactions. Along with this, Alaan’s data-rich platform also provided real-time tracking and control, empowering the management team to monitor spending.

Alaan automated the reconciliation process, freeing up valuable time for the team to focus on strategic business planning and analysis. With Alaan, PNB was able to transform its petty cash management, enhancing efficiency and transparency.
