We use Ramp reimbursements to reimburse employee expenses when they don’t have a Ramp card or for mileage and it works well! Since we’re a non-profit, we have a fair number of volunteers that we reimburse mileage or out of pocket expenses. We find that many volunteers don’t want to go through the process of entering their bank information for a one-time transaction. Is it possible to have other payment options such as check or even petty cash? We are using Bill Pay to handle this now but need to be careful that we don’t flag these for 1099s.
Hey Melanie! Thanks for the post. Yes, you can reimburse volunteers outside of Ramp – using checks, petty cash, or any method you prefer – by enabling the “Allow payments outside of Ramp” option in your settings (read more here).
This way, volunteers don’t have to enter their bank info, and you can still track the reimbursement in Ramp.
Let me know if this isn’t what you’re looking for!
