New feature - receipt attachments now live in beta

Our new receipt attachments feature is now live as a beta.

It’s great functionality and I love the approach that the product team have taken in letting users attach files of more or less any format to support an expense claim.

I’ve attached the following to my own claims:

- Scanned images, produced on my home office printer.
- Digital photos taken with my mobile phone.
- HTML emails (from the Trainline.com and BA).

You can also attach PDFs, word docs or Excel spreadsheets, and file size can be as large as 5 MB.

For me personally, quickest and easiest is to simply snap a photo of receipts on my Nokia N95 - that phone has a great camera and the legibility is fantastic as illustrated by the image below.

Let us know if you’d like to try this out and we’ll get you set up.
