Viewing and monitoring your expense requests

Prev Next

After you have submitted an expense to the relevant approvers at the company, you can view your expense requests and monitor their status.

Upon submitting an expense request, you'll be notified on mobile and email by Payhawk.

Payhawk notification emails always come from no-reply@payhawk.com. If you receive an email about an expense request that you don't see in your Payhawk Inbox, don't click on any links in the email and don’t reply to it. Check the full email address of the sender and contact Payhawk Support through the chat.

Notes on expense requests

  • All your expense requests that have not been reviewed by the approvers yet, will be visible under the Pending tab of your Inbox.

  • Once a expense entry is approved or returned, it'll move to the All tab of your Inbox. You can then review it and send it for approval again.
