Likelihood to Recommend The company-wide implementation of TravelBank greatly increased the efficiency of our expense reimbursement process. It mitigated many pain points such as errors, inconsistencies, and missing information in our manual Excels that were very hard to version control and track through the approval/reimbursement process. Overall, TravelBank has made all of our lives easier!
Read full review Very helpful in saving time and costs when it comes to planning business travel, tracking expenses, and reimbursement management. Their support team is friendly and comprehensive, they manage to do changes to our reservations within 10 hours before our trip with no extra costs. I can't find a scenario where it is less appropriate.
Read full review Pros TravelBank encourages employees to book lower cost flights and hotels. Employees receive half the difference between the average cost for the service and the cost the company is paying in the form of vouchers for Amazon/Airbnb etc. For example, if the average cost of a flight from SFO to JFK is $500, and the employee books a $400 flight, the employee gets $50 and the company saves $50.

When I've had trouble with bookings, TravelPerk support responds quickly and addresses the issue. You can easily add personal travel information (e.g., frequent flyer numbers) that are automatically applied to your flights, no need to add it manually with each booking. Read full review Cons It was hard to find a good hotel in my budget. I wish I could get the incentives back in cash. I have trouble using the user interface and wish I could store my common searches easier bcecauseI usually only travel to one place. They need to have a better search tool. Like, if a hotel is unavailable it still needs to come up in the search bar -- not necessarily on the map or home screen, but it would help to see all options if I search because for some reason a ton of hotels that I know have open rooms do not show up.

Our account team spent a lot of time walking through all of the features and capabilities of TravelBank, as well as tips and tricks for using the online platform and the app. This was tremendously helpful! Also, whenever we need to contact customer support if we are experiencing and difficulties, they are beyond responsive and very helpful!

Other apps had issues in trying to recognize the amount if a tip was added and often failed. This is why I like entering in the actual value.

Read full review Return on Investment I'm not in the finance department, but I'd guess our travel spend per employee has reduced since we started using TravelBank. We now have one travel supplier, with flights and hotels paid from a central account, rather than everyone booking through a variety of channels with their own card. In case of emergency, the company knows which flight you're on, which hotel you're staying at. Read full review Generally, there are cost savings available over other options. Providing employees with autonomy frees up the management team from having to book and/or approve travel. Read full review ScreenShots
