Corporate Traveler and Emburse Partner to Deliver an Integrated Travel and Expense Solution for Business Travelers

New Partnership Streamlines and Enhances the Post-Travel Experience,  Providing a Faster, More Automated Expense Management Process 
 

New York, NY (April 6, 2026) – Corporate Traveler, the flagship SME division of Flight Centre Travel Group, and Emburse today announced a partnership to deliver a fully integrated travel and expense (T&E) experience for business travelers. The collaboration connects travel booking with automated expense management, enabling organizations to capture receipts instantly, streamline reporting, and reduce administrative work for both employees and finance teams. 

The partnership expands Corporate Traveler’s broader technology ecosystem, including its proprietary booking platform Melon, which powers a modern business travel experience with built-in policy controls, personalized search, and seamless traveler support. With Emburse’s advanced technology, receipt data from Corporate Traveler bookings  including airfare, hotel, car, and rail — will be automatically captured, categorized, and routed to approvers, with seamless export to accounting systems, ultimately improving accuracy and strengthening compliance.

The integration will also accelerate reimbursements by prefilling expense lines in employee expense reports and supporting multiple payment methods — including personal cards, corporate cards, and centrally billed cards. The streamlined workflows will result in enhanced employee satisfaction and enable greater productivity across the workforce.

Business travelers shouldn’t have to think about expense management after their trip,” said Ama Amsellem, VP of Product Management, Fintech at Flight Centre Travel Group. “By connecting Corporate Traveler bookings directly into Emburse, we’re eliminating manual steps and giving finance teams real-time visibility into travel spend — all while making the experience easier for travelers.

With automated expense matching, finance teams will also be able to reduce reconciliation efforts while ensuring consistent categorization and more accurate financial reporting through predefined GL coding. The platform will enforce budget policies and provide finance professionals with real-time visibility into their organization’s travel spending — without the need for complex tracking. 

Our partnership with Corporate Traveler is about simplifying the entire travel and expense experience—from booking through reimbursement,” said Holly Brosam, VP of Product Management, Travel at Emburse. “By integrating Corporate Traveler with Emburse Enterprise and Emburse Professional, and automating how travel data flows directly into expense reports, we’re eliminating manual steps, accelerating reimbursements, and helping organizations reduce errors while delivering a better experience for both business travelers and finance teams.

At launch, the Emburse integration will be available to Corporate Traveler clients in the United States, with plans to expand to additional markets in the coming months.

According to Flight Centre Travel Group’s recent State of the Market corporate travel survey, travel and expense management ranked as the top priority for clients in FY26, underscoring the growing demand for innovation in this area across the business travel industry.
