The Concur Expense module is configured to obtain the Bank Information before the user can start using the expense side of Concur, which entails submitting any expense reports. Account Confirmation is a function designed to reduce the frequency of rejected payments caused by errors in employees’ banking information. Once your bank information has been entered, you will need to wait 48hrs (2 business days) for Concur to establish verification to your bank institution. Once the verification has been established, you will receive an email notifying you that a penny transaction has been place in your bank account. Once you receive this email, you may submit the expense report.

Please make sure that you select the check box next to the credit card expense that you want to code before filling in the expense categories on the right hand side of the page.

  • Log in to the system at http://www.concursolutions.com

Check out our illustrated guide on Setting up bank information for the first time.

Once you have entered and saved the bank information, Concur will take 2 business days to confirm the account. Concur will confirm the account by depositing €0.01 into your account. Once the deposit has been made successfully an email notification will be send to your email. Also, you can check if your bank status has changed by going to Profile and clicking on Bank Information, the status will change to ‘Confirmed’. Once this has taken place, you will be able to submit expense reports.

Remember that Concur’s confirmation process takes 2 business days to complete its confirmation process. You can prepare your expense reports, but you cannot submit them until your bank information has been confirmed.

I don’t have any out-of-pocket expenses on my expense report. Do I still have to have my bank account confirmed by Concur before I submit my expense report?

Yes. The system must have a confirmed bank account before any expense report can be submitted.

All receipts must be scanned and added to the system via one of the methods in the ‘Attach receipts to expense reports’ training guides.   You do not need to send original receipts this is not a requirement in the Netherlands.

For information on the receiving entity / bank account, please contact [email protected].
