Hi Younus,

It's great to hear that your experience with Alaan has been fantastic and we were able to solve your petty cash issues.

Regarding the suggestion to create a group card for related parties or sister companies, we understand the convenience this could offer, however, unfortunately it also raises security concerns. Rest assured, we're actively exploring ways to address this need while maintaining the highest level of security.

Your input is valuable, and if you have further suggestions or questions, please feel free to reach out to us.

Thank you

Hi Patrick,

It's great to hear that Alaan has been able to help you save time on financial administration.

Regarding your concern about uploading receipts, we completely understand, and we appreciate your feedback. However, uploading receipts is actually required for tax compliance and also for accurate expense management, ensuring transparency and accountability. It helps in tracking expenses, budgeting, and maintaining clear financial records.

Please feel free to reach out to us with your questions and suggestions.

Thank you
