Autonomous Cards
Audit and resolve every non-T&E corporate card transaction
Keep the purchasing, virtual, ghost, fleet, and lodge cards you already use. AI Agents review every eligible transaction as it posts and work each exception to a close.
Audit the card program you already run
Keep your bank, your issuer, and your programs. Connect to your existing card feeds through secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) or file upload, then apply your policies across every program.
Turn policies into working AI Agents in minutes
Each Agent enforces your standard operating procedures exactly as you wrote them. Tune every rule in a version-controlled, AI-assisted editor.
Enforce policy consistently across every card program
For every policy you write, an Agent checks the charge against the available transaction-level data, including line items, receipts, and merchant detail, and decides whether it is in policy.
Automate follow-up with the cardholder
When documentation like business justifications or receipts are missing, an Agent requests the information from the cardholder. Agents absorb the routine work. Your team only handles the exceptions.
Analyze card spend across every program
Surface anomalies and repeat policy violations with dashboards showing card spend by program, entity, merchant, and cardholder. Drill into any number, down to the Level 3 (L3) line items behind it.
Optimize your corporate card program with agentic AI for non-T&E spend

FAQs
01 What does Autonomous Cards do?
Autonomous Cards reviews every non-T&E corporate card transaction as it posts, then works each flagged charge to a close. Our AI Agents check the charge against your policy and take the action you define, requesting what is missing from the cardholder or routing approval to a manager. Auditors only step in when human input is required.
02 Which types of cards does Autonomous Cards cover?
Autonomous Cards covers purchasing cards (P-Cards), virtual cards, ghost cards, fleet and gas cards, and lodge cards, which together hold the card spend that never reaches an expense report.
03 Can Autonomous Cards work with our existing corporate card expense management program and bank relationships?
Yes. Keep your bank, your issuer, and the card programs you run today. Autonomous Cards connects to your existing card feeds through secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) or file upload, then applies your policies across every program. Nothing about your current card setup has to change.
04 What is Level 3 card data and why does it matter?
Level 3 (L3) card data is line-item detail passed by the merchant with a transaction, including item descriptions, quantities, and unit prices. It lets an auditor see what was bought rather than only the merchant and the total.
05 How does Autonomous Cards handle missing corporate card receipts?
You define when a charge needs documentation. Our AI Agents request the receipt from the cardholder, retrieve it from the merchant where configured, and read the itemized detail on every one. When no receipt is available, the Agents evaluate the charge using Level 2 and Level 3 card data.
06 How is this different from the controls our bank or card platform already provides?
Bank and platform controls set limits by merchant category, amount, and location, which stops obvious risk but cannot explain what was bought or why.
Our AI adds a layer to the cards you already issue by auditing every eligible transaction, reading line items and receipts, applying your written policy, and resolving routine exceptions with the cardholder or manager. Autonomous Cards allows you to consolidate your existing purchasing, virtual, fleet, ghost, and lodge cards into AppZen while keeping all your reward benefits intact. This automated policy enforcement gives finance teams complete confidence to expand card usage across the organization.
07 Will Autonomous Cards decline or block a purchase?
No. Autonomous Cards reviews transactions after they post, so a purchase is never declined or blocked at the point of sale and no card is delayed. We sit outside the payment flow. Uncertain decisions defer to an auditor.
