Have a Rho question?
The following instructions describe how to set up a direct integration between your Rho Account and your Xero account and how to link it via the Xero Bank Feed. This integration allows you to easily manage multiple connections to your different organizations.
Rho connects to Xero to pass transactions from Rho's checking accounts every 24 hours. The daily bank feed sync occurs each day at 3:00 AM EST.
Here is a video walkthrough on how to set up the connection:
Connect to Xero in Rho
To enable this connection, navigate to the Integrations tab within your Rho account and click on the + button next to Xero.
Once you’ve clicked on the + button, you will be redirected to the Xero connection. To start the setup, please click on the Start Setup button.
Log in to Xero
Enter your Xero credentials and complete the 2FA required fields. Once logged in, you will be prompted to accept access to set this connection. Click on Allow Access.
Map Accounts
After completing the login process, you will be given the option to map accounts. At this stage, you can choose the Rho and Xero accounts from which you want your transactions to be streamed. Once you’ve completed your desired mappings, click on the Finish button.
Setup complete
Congratulations, your Rho account is now set up to integrate with Xero.
The Rho platform now includes a Vendor Payment Notification feature that automatically informs vendors about pending payments. This guide walks through the functionality and setup for this feature.
What is included in the Vendor Payment Notifications?
Vendors receive automated emails containing the following information:
- Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA): The expected delivery time of the payment.
- Payment Amount: The scheduled payment sum.
- Method and Memo: How the payment is being processed along with any relevant notes.
- Attachments: Links to any related documents for the vendor's reference. (please note that attachments will expire after 7 days for security purposes)
- Invoice Details: For AP bill payments, specific details such as invoice numbers and terms are included.
How to setup the Vendor Notifications
To activate, select the option on the vendor profile to enable vendor notifications. Enter the vendor’s email address where notifications should be sent. A preview option allows you to see a sample notification that vendors will receive. Vendors will be sent an onboarding email informing them that they will be receiving payment notifications
How can I see status/manage vendor notification preferences:
The vendor's profile shows whether notifications are enabled or if a Vendor unsubscribed from notifications. Vendors can opt out from receiving notifications through a link in the notification itself. If a vendor unsubscribes from payment notifications in error, please reach out to Rho client service.
When are notifications sent?
Notifications are sent only after a transaction is pending (note: for check payments, Rho will send an additional email once the check is deposited).
Can I customize the vendor emails?
Within the organization settings, you can specify a contact person and custom message for the email footer. Contact person’s phone, email & name on record with Rho will appear in the footer of all vendor notifications.
You can configure the email notifications you receive for Accounts Payable from your Rho dashboard so you can stay on top of recent activity.
To begin, log in to Rho and click the dropdown ‘v’ next to your name in the upper right corner, then click User Settings.
Once in User Settings, switch to the Notifications tab and choose your desired settings in the Accounts Payable section by clicking the applicable checkboxes.
- Daily Digest emails send at 5pm EST everyday if there are 1 or more updates about bills in the system.
- Weekly Digest emails send at 10 am EST Friday if there are 1 or more updates about bills in the system.
Digest emails will summarize recent activity across Bills and Payments. Emails will not be sent in the event that there is no Accounts Payable activity.

What are direct manager approvals?
With direct manager approvals, you have the ability in Rho to automatically route employee expenses up the direct manager approval chain (to your manager and/or your manager's manager), assigned both in Rho or via your HRIS integration.
By combining direct manager approvals with $ amount tiers (e.g. require manager approval for expenses above $50 and CFO approval for expenses above $300 amount), you can create multi-level approval flows that reflect your organization's unique structure with Rho.
Defining the manager relationship
Direct Managers can be assigned easily through User Management > Assign Managers.
Tip: We recommend exporting your organizational structure from an HRIS, or similar system.
Once the file is processed, any errors will be flagged. To fix them, make the corrections on the file, and try uploading again. Managers can also be updated individually via the User Management page.
Configuring your approval policy
First, enable Expense Approvals by going to organization name > Organization Settings > Payment Security > Expense Approvals.
Next, start adding approvers. Each tier represents a dollar-amount threshold for which an approver, or approvers will get notified to approve for.
Direct managers can be assigned solo to a tier, or can be combined with a static user. When multiple approvers are in a tier, any one of them can approve or reject.
Configure a Default Approver
If direct managers are added to the approval policy, we will route expenses to whomever is defined as the submitting user’s manager.
In the event there is no direct manager we can use, the expense will be routed to the Default Approver. Here are examples in which the Default Approver might come into the picture:
- There are three levels of direct manager approvals. A Sales VP whose only manager is the CEO submits an expense
- Route: CEO -> Default Approver
- A new employee does not yet have a direct manager assigned to them, and submits an expense
- Route: Default Approver
- A direct manager’s email was incorrect in the CSV file and hasn’t been fixed. Their direct report submits an expense
- Route: Default Approver
Only one default approver can be configured at a time.
Sample paths:
If you have a transaction that needs to be divided among multiple budgets or other attributes, you can do so using the Split Transaction feature in both banking and card Transaction Details windows.
Please note that the user splitting the transaction needs to be assigned to the budgets they are splitting the transaction between.
With Rho's custom attributes, you can set up fields to attribute spend across fields like locations, GL codes, departments, job numbers. Learn more about custom attributes here.
How to split transactions
In the Banking or Cards tab, select the desired transaction to open its Transactions Details window. Click the 'Split Transaction' button at the bottom of the window.
- Click 'Add Split' for the number of splits you need.
- In the Amount field, specify the amount allocated for each split.
- In the Budget or Custom Attributes field, select the value associated with each amount.
- When finished, click 'Save'.
Attaching invoices and receipts to your Rho banking and card transactions is a great way to stay organized and increase visibility. Avoid the month-end scramble and close your books faster by attaching receipts as you spend.
Every Rho cardholder can attach receipts to transactions in three ways:
- Attach a receipt to your most recent card transaction via text message
- Attach a receipt for any card transaction via email notifications
- Upload multiple receipts for any card transaction via the Rho mobile app
- Upload multiple receipts for any card transaction via the Rho desktop app
Remember to add any applicable tip amount to your receipt
Read on to learn how to set up your receipt capture options.
How to enable text and email receipt capture for card transactions
For uploading receipts on-the-go, you can turn on text and/or email receipt capture in your Card Settings.
In your Rho dashboard, navigate to the Cards tab > Team Cards and click on the desired card to expand its details. Once in the pull-out window, click the Actions button in the upper right corner of the screen and select Card Settings from the drop-down list.
Enable text (SMS) and/or email notifications by checking the relevant boxes at the bottom of the Card Settings window.
Once enabled, you’ll receive a text and/or email for every approved card transaction.
How to upload a receipt via text (SMS)
When your card transaction is approved, you will receive a text confirming the transaction amount, merchant, time, and last four digits of your card.
Simply reply with a photo of your receipt to file your expense, and Rho will automatically attach the receipt directly to that transaction.
You will receive a text confirming that the receipt has been submitted.
A receipt submitted via text (SMS) will automatically attach to the most recent card transaction. A Canada or US-based phone number is required for SMS receipt uploads.
How to upload receipts via email
You can attach receipts to specific transactions by submitting them via the related email notification.
When you have email notifications enabled, you’ll receive a separate email for every approved card transaction. The subject of the email will include the transaction amount, merchant, and last four digits of your card. In the body of the email you’ll find further details including the transaction time and Rho transaction ID.
Reply directly to the relevant email to attach a photo or PDF of your receipt. You’ll receive a confirmation email once the receipt has been received.
You can enable both SMS and email notifications for the most flexibility when it comes to when you submit your receipts – whether you prefer to do so immediately after your purchase or in your own time.
How to upload receipts in the Rho desktop app
You can also attach receipts to card transactions by uploading them in the Rho desktop app.
To attach a receipt to an existing transaction, locate and select the transaction from your Cards Tab.
By selecting a transaction, you will open the Transaction Details window to the right side of your screen. At the top of that window, there is a section to upload a receipt or invoice. Simply drag and drop your file or click to select a file from your computer.
Rho only allows you to upload your receipts as PDF, JPG, and PNG files.
Viewing your receipts in the Rho desktop app
You can see which transactions have receipts attached in the My Cards page.
All transactions with a receipt attached (whether submitted by text, email, or desktop) will have a paperclip icon to the left of the transaction amount. To view specific receipts, click on a transaction to find it in the Transaction Details window on the right of your screen.
Troubleshooting receipt uploads
If you upload a receipt via email or text message to a transaction that already has a receipt attached, you’ll receive an error message.
To add a different receipt, log into the Rho desktop app, click on the transaction, and replace the receipt shown in the Transaction Details window on the right side of your screen.
Both admins and employees can now view and code their own accounting attributes, helping finance teams eliminate month-end close delays.
How To Turn on Non-Admin Attribute Coding (Admins and Owners only)
Navigate to User Management > Groups in your Rho Dashboard menu.
Select the user group you would like to assign this functionality.
In the Permissions section, click Change Permissions and under Personal Card Management, switch the toggle Code Accounting Attributes to On.
How to Code Your Attributes as an Employee
If you are an employee who has this permissioning enabled, navigate to the Accounting tab in your Rho dashboard menu.
For the desired transaction, you can edit the coding for Budget, Accounts, and Vendors in the summary page view.
For more details, you can click on the desired transaction, and edit the coding for attributes at the bottom of the slide-out screen.
All changes to attributes and coding are automatically saved on the transaction.

Bulk payments is a new payment workflow that allows you to bulk draft, review, schedule, and send payments by importing a Rho CSV template into the Rho platform.
Payment types supported by the workflow:
- Checks
- ACH
- Wires (Domestic accounts only)
- Single-use virtual Rho cards securely shared via email
Each line-item in the CSV will create one payment, there is no merging of multiple payment line items into one payment.
What are requirements for using bulk payments?
- Vendors must be added into the system prior to using the experience
- Admins, Account Owners and Bookkeepers can view bulk payments, meaning they can import a CSV and make edits to payment drafts. By default, Bookkeepers cannot execute payments from the “Bulk Payments” workflow.
What does it mean to send a Single-Use card payment?
- When “Single-Use Card” is selected as a payment method, the card will be created when the payment is created from bulk payments and the email sent with card details based on the “Created/Due” date indicated in the payment line item. The card will be nicknamed <Vendor> AP Card: <Invoice Number>
What will the card details look like to the vendor ?
You will see the payment creator, organization who sent, and Invoice Number as well as the card details needed to authorize payment
What do the statuses mean?
What are the things I need to review in the table?
Vendor Missing
- Vendor was not found in Rho -> if you see the vendor name in yellow, this means we were not able to match the vendor you indicated in the csv with a vendor in Rho.
- To resolve, click the dropdown to search to see if the vendor is in Rho and select.
- If not, head to Vendors > Add New Vendor to add Vendor into Rho.
Destination Error
- If you see a destination error, this means we do not have the payment information for this vendor for the method you have indicated in the CSV.
- To resolve, click on the method/source column to see which methods are available with this Vendor.
- If the option you wish to pay is not present, you must return to the vendor profile to add the desired method account details.

What is SOC 2 Type 2 Compliance?
SOC 2, developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), is an audit framework for an organization’s control and management of customer data, relevant to security, availability, processing, integrity, confidentiality or privacy. SOC 2 reports help the organization in question, as well as regulators, partners, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders, achieve more confidence in the integrity of security, operations, and management of customer data.
A SOC 2 Type 2 report describes an organization’s system and whether the design and operating effectiveness of the system’s controls are suitable to meet relevant trust services principles as of a specific date.
Is Rho SOC 2 Type 2 Compliant?
Rho is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. Rho is audited every year by a third-party using the SOC 2 framework.
Rho’s SOC 2 Type 2 report is only accessible upon request to our Client Service team.

With our Accounts Payable refresh, we have introduced more specific statuses to help your scaling team manage processing, paying & reconciling your payables.
Rho AP is broken down into two cycles: Bill cycle and payments cycle.
- The Bill cycle includes submitting, processing, editing, and reconciling bills
- The Payment cycle includes confirming payment details, approving, scheduling, and reconciling bill payments.
Here is a mapping of how our prior statuses map to new AP statuses:
Bill Cycle
This workflow starts with a status of Bill Draft and ends with a Status of BIll Processed
New Status What does this Status mean? Prior StatusBill Draft - IncompleteBill has been submitted via Dedicated AP Inbox or Platform upload and requires review Not AcknowledgedBill Draft - CompleteBill is ready to be synced (if integrated) & sent to payments IncompleteBill ProcessedBill details are complete & synced (if integrated), Bill Payment cycle has startedTo Be Scheduled

How we use coding
Rho enables you to code transactions efficiently, by combining mapping rules, manual coding and default settings to automate coding tasks, while still allowing for user intervention for customization and fine-tuning.
There are three ways that coding gets applied to transactions in Rho.
- Mapping rules
- Line-level coding (manually overriding)
- Default settings (Only for some areas of the product, such as Default Income, Default Expense and Default Accounts Payable accounts)
Mapping rules
Rho applies mapping rules in a hierarchical fashion, checking for rules which exist in the following order.
Mapping hierarchy:
1. Label
2. Vendor
3. Merchant
4. MerchantCategory
5. Card
6. Budget
Here’s an example of how this functions. If there are 2 mapping rules:
- When Vendor = Cindy’s Cookies -> assign GL = Meals and Entertainment
- When Card = *1234 -> assign GL = Miscellaneous
A transaction on Card *1234 at Cindy’s Cookies would bear the coding Meals and Entertainment
Line-level coding
While Mapping rules automate coding tasks, users may opt to override those values. To change a mapping rule-determined coding in Rho, simply modify the assigned mapping on the transaction or via the drawer.
Rho respects user-selected codings and won't update them with new mapping rules or when the Apply Mappings feature is used.
Default settings
When using Rho, you need to choose default GL Income and Expense accounts. If a transaction doesn't have any mapping rules or manual codings, Rho will automatically assign the default GL accounts to the transaction.

Advanced Controls
You can also review and edit advanced card controls including:
- Merchant Controls.
- Spending & Receipt Upload Notifications. See more here.
- Card Usage Dates
- International Spend Restrictions
Learn more about these advanced controls here.
All Rho Cards can be set up with custom controls to prevent fraudulent, out-of-policy, or unexpected spending before it happens.
Here are the controls you can set up for both physical and virtual Rho Cards:
Set monthly spending limits
When you create a new Rho Card, you have the option to set a monthly spending limit. That means that any transaction that would exceed the monthly limit will be declined. Monthly card limits reset on the 1st of each month. The card limit can be changed in your Card Settings (here’s how).
Note: If you have a user limit, your card limit cannot exceed that amount. User limits are set by Admins and Account Owners. Learn more about user limits here.
Merchant-level controls
- Merchant-specific controls: You can limit a card’s acceptance to a group of up to 20 distinct merchants. This means the card will only be accepted at those merchants, and transactions at merchants not on that list will be declined.
- Merchant category controls: You can limit a card's acceptance to specific merchant categories (ex. Advertising Services, Airlines, Grocery Stores), which are set by Mastercard, the network partner for Rho Cards.
You can also set merchant-level controls at the company level. See more here.
International Spend
By default, all Rho Cards have international spending disabled, meaning the card will be declined for all transactions outside of the US. This can be toggled on and off at any time.
Advanced Card Controls
Additional controls are available for virtual Rho Cards, which function the same way as physical cards, but can be issued and used in minutes online or via your digital wallet.
Fixed spending limits
To set a one-time limit for a virtual Rho Card, select Fixed in the Card Limit Type field. This means that the card can only be used up to a certain dollar amount. Note: the limit can’t be changed once the card is created.
Single-use spending limits
To set a one-time usage limit for a virtual Rho Card, select Single-Use. Note: the limit can’t be changed once the card is created.
Card Usage Dates
You can set up custom active dates for your card, meaning that it can only be used between specified days. Note: By default, all Rho cards expire 3 years from issue date.
Custom billing address
Billing addresses for Rho Cards are by default set to your organization’s billing address. However, you can set a different billing address for each Rho Card.
For the majority of cases, using your organization’s billing address on file won’t cause any issues.
However, with some merchants, card transactions may be declined when the shipping address doesn’t match the billing address. To avoid these declines, you can add a different billing address to your card.
To learn how to edit your card controls, read on here.
Setting up mappings
Once you’ve connected your accounting software to Rho, you’ll need to ensure you’ve selected the correct AP account that represents your Accounts Payables in your accounting software.
To do this, head to Accounting > Mapping Rules.
Ensure all relevant default accounts have been selected for the Rho solutions you’re using then scroll to the bottom, to Other Accounts > Rho Accounts Payable, and select the account in your accounting software that represents your AP account.
Note: Make sure to do this for all entities that will use the AP solution. You can toggle between entities/subsidiaries via the left-hand navigation, shown below.
While Rho Budgets can be used to categorize expenses and card spend based on company departments, projects, vendors, seasons, etc, labels can be used to track revenue in addition to expenses. Labels are also a helpful tool in sub-categorization.
You can only assign one Budget to a transaction at a time, however you can assign as many Labels as you would like to one transaction.
First navigate to Budgets > Labels in your Rho dashboard.
Click the + New Label button in the right corner to create a new label.
Select a name and a color for your new label in the pop-up window, then click Save Changes.
Users with admin-level permissions can assign expenses, or any other transactions, to a specific label for better tracking.
First, log into your Rho dashboard and in the Banking tab, navigate to your desired account and select the relevant transaction.
Clicking on a transaction opens the Transaction Details slide-out window, where you can expand the Rho Attributes section, then click Add Label.
Select the desired label(s) from the menu and click Apply. The expense is now assigned to that label.
Are my deposits safe?
Rho checking accounts are FDIC-insured up to $250,000. Rho treasury management accounts are FDIC-insured up to $75mm via a network of banks. For more information on deposit insurance, please visit the FDIC website.
To open a treasury management account for deposits over $250,000, please see here.
If you have approval permissions in Rho, you can approve outstanding expenses via the Rho App.

Rho AP handles two objects, Bills and Bill Payments.
For Bill Records, Rho can either push bill records to OR pull bill records from your accounting platform.
For Bill Payment Records, Rho pushes these to your accounting platform & automatically updates the status of the corresponding Bill record (regardless of whether it was Pushed or Pulled to Rho).
Bill Records: Rho > Accounting Platform
For those looking for a solution to automate processing bills, Rho offers multiple ways to create bills in Rho 1) email inbox with your dedicated 2) directly uploading the file to the platform. Regardless of creation method, our OCR will parse the following key details from invoice files:
- Vendor (and payment details)
- Invoice Number
- Amount
- Due Date
- Invoice Date
- Payment Terms
Once created in Rho, key data points will need to be confirmed by a user before the bill is “Sent to Payments.” Any Accounting attributes assigned or automatically applied via mapping rules will also be passed on the Bill record.
- A bill can also be split either manually or automatically (turn on automatic line level splitting in Accounts Payable > Settings > Automated Bill Splitting). These split lines will be represented on the bill record in the accounting platform.
When the bill is sent to payments, the Bill record with all Bill details will automatically be synced into the accounting platform as an “Open” or unpaid bill.
- Users can re-sync the bill to update Accounting attributes all the way up until the related bill payment is in a settled state. (note: key data points like amount, vendor, due date, invoice # are not mutable after the first sync. Please either edit the details directly in the accounting platform or Void the bill & recreate if you have errors here.)
Bill Records: Accounting Platform > Rho
For those looking for a solution to leverage Rho for payments at scale & already create bills in their Accounting platform,
To enable Bill Record sync from Accounting Platform > Rho
- Ensure Vendors wishing to pay are created in Rho & mapped to Vendor record in Accounting (help articles)
- Enable Accounts Payable from Accounting (Accounts Payable> Settings > Accounts Payable from <Accounting>
- Select a start date (note this will pull bills with an Invoice date from this day forward
- Open Bills that are within date range that have mapped vendors will automatically be synced every 24hrs at ~12AM EST. Bills can be manually pulled by hitting the “Sync Bills” button at the top of the Accounts Payable tables
- Payment drafts ready for review & payment will show in Accounts Payable > Payments > Drafts
Once a Bill Record has been synced and created in Rho as a payment draft, all payment details will be pre-populated and payments can be sent for approval (if applicable) or scheduled.
For these Bill Records: Bill details are ready only and not editable from Rho (but can be edited from your accounting platform).
Bill Payment Records: Rho > Accounting Platform
Once a payment has been scheduled & paid (ie: the payment has settled) all bill payments will 1) automatically inherit attributes from the related Bill record 2) appear as ready to be synced in Accounting> Dashboard > Accounts Payable. Learn more about the accounting dashboard here.
Once bill payments are successfully synced to the accounting platform, the related Bill record’s status will automatically be updated to Paid.

The Rho AP Inbox gives customers a singular, central place to forward invoices to and automatically process them.
How does it work?
A designated email address is created for every organization. Users can forward email invoices to the inbox, whereupon receipt, OCR (optical character recognition) technology scans the invoice and pulls key data points needed to create a draft bill in Rho, such as the amount, vendor, invoice number, and due dates.
The draft bill will then appear in your Rho Dashboard for you to action upon, just like a manually created bill.
Please Note: non-invoice files will not be created as bills in the Rho platform. Please see below file support for AP inbox
Files that are supported by Rho AP Inbox
Files type support:
- Supported: JPG, JPEG, PNG, HEIC, or PDFs
- NOT supported: CSV, XLS, etc.
File size support:
- <50MB
- An Invoice can have multiple pages but OCR processing results for multi-page invoices can be less accurate
File information:
- Supported: Invoice files (specifically files with an amount, invoice or reference # and dates for payment)
- Not supported: W-9 documents (see how vendors can share W-9s with Rho – Link to KB), Payment instruction files, Statements etc
Some key benefits
- Streamlines the bill creation process, by centralizing to one place to send documents
- Improves accuracy, by reducing, or oftentimes entirely eliminating manual entry
- Allows for team visibility by allowing you to CC team members
- Creates draft vendors in dashboard, minimizing manual entry time
How do I set it up?
Our client service team can configure the inbox for you. Please reach out to them at clientservice@rho.co.
Yes! If you'd like your Budget tags to flow through Quickbooks, you can create a "rule" in the Quickbooks platform!

You'll need your EIN letter to join Rho.
If you don't have an EIN letter on hand, you can easily get one faxed or mailed by calling the IRS Business & Specialty Tax Line toll free at 1-800-829-4933 between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM local time. When you reach them, request a 147c letter. The request is free and typically processed the same-day.
If you do not have a fax number, you can request that the IRS fax it directly to Rho at +1 646-455-3240. Please alert your business banker that it's on its way so we can look out for it.
What is OCR technology?
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition and is a technology used to scan files such as documents or images. This technology is commonly used in the financial services industry as it eliminates the need for manual data collection by scanning documents like receipts and invoices.
How does it work in Rho?
Rho uses OCR vendors to parse invoices received in our AP Inbox. This technology allows you to forward invoices to a designated email address, where they will scan and parse the files and automatically upload them for editing in your Rho Accounts Payable dashboard.
How does the Confidence Score work?
The OCR confidence score can be seen on the AP bills table in the form of a Green, Yellow, or Red accuracy indicator. These scores flag invoices that likely require additional review or information. You can edit these draft invoices just like any other invoice in your Rho dashboard.
The thresholds we use are as follows:
- ≥ 80% = high
- ≥ 50% = medium
- ≤ 50% = low
Example: A confidence score of 75% would be flagged as yellow in the indicator.
NOTE: If a user replies in a thread to the original email sent to the AP inbox and image files invoices are in the email body, duplicate invoices can be created. These invoices will be auto-flagged as duplicates in the platform.
There are a few ways you can retrieve a Proof of Account from Rho:
Voided Check
You can download this right from your dashboard. In your dashboard, in the Banking tab, click the Documents button in the upper left corner.
Once in the Documents page, scroll to the Forms and Templates section, then next to the Voided Check Template option, you can choose to either download it or email it to yourself or a third party.
Current Bank Statement
Vendors may also accept a current bank statement. Statements are generated on the 5th of every month and can also be found in your dashboard in the Documents page > Account Statements section (if you have a new account and do not currently have a statement, please refer to the last option below).
Request a Bank Statement
If the first two options do not suffice, you may request a blank bank statement, or a statement reflecting your account balance to date. You may also request a "proof of account" bank letter that shows your account is open and in good standing with Rho. You can easily request these documents by contacting a member of the Rho team (+1 (855) 743-8746 or email clientservice@rho.co). Please allow 1 business day for this request to be completed.

You can create custom accounting attributes in Rho which will be included in your CSV exports to make reconciliation with your accounting software easier.
Custom Attributes Overview
Rho's custom attributes capability enables complex businesses to create up to 5 discrete categorizations for card and banking transactions, facilitating sophisticated, accurate mapping to their accounting ledgers.
Once custom attributes are defined for your company, transactions can automatically be tagged to these labels, allowing your accountant to seamlessly sync Rho spend activity to the books with minimal manual lift.
In this article, we will cover:
- How to create and configure custom attributes
- How to automate attribute values by default for transactions from specific cards
- How to require addition of attribute values for employee expense submissions
- How custom attributes appear when exporting expense CSVs
How to create and configure custom attributes
Account Owners and Administrators can create up to 5 custom attributes and define their values by accessing the Rho Attributes setting page.
- Click on Organization Settings.
- Select Rho Attributes.
- Click Change Settings.
- Click the + button to add and name a new attribute.
- Once you have created an attribute, you can click the pencil icon to edit. In the popup, you can add new multi-select values, as well as archive unnecessary values.
- For multi-select attributes, you can import values for the attribute in bulk.
How to automate attribute values by default for transactions from specific cards
You can use advanced card controls to assign attribute values for specific cards, so transactions from these cards automatically are mapped to these specific values, without further manual mapping required.
- First, access the specific card that you wish to make changes to through the cards tab in the Rho Platform.
- Once you have selected the specific card, click Card Settings in the Actions dropdown.
- Ensure that you have Assign Rho Attributes toggled “On” in the Advanced Controls section.
- Only multi-select attributes are available to be added to specific cards. You must select one attribute value to default each card.
How to require addition of attribute values for employee expense submissions
You can also use the expense rule builder to ensure that employee expense submissions are directly mapped to accurate attributes and values.
- In the expenses tab, click on the Policies section.
- Click the Add Rule button, and under the Action section in the rule builder, you will be able to toggle on the requirement for specific attributes that you have defined (for example, “Location”). Hit Save.
How custom attributes appear when exporting expense CSVs
Now, when you go to export CSVs for company or personal expenses, each attribute will populate in a distinct column.

All Rho users can be assigned a user spending limit, which is a fixed monthly limit they can spend across all their cards in 1 month.
If you have a user limit assigned to you, you can request an increase via the Rho Mobile App.
How to request a limit increase
Open the Rho App and click on the Overview tab. Here, you can see what you’ve spent, your remaining spend limit, and when your limit will reset.
Click Request New User Limit.
Enter the dollar amount and reason, and click Submit Request.
Users with permissions to approve your request will receive a notification prompting them to review.
Once a limit increase is approved, it remains beyond the current period indefinitely. Limit decreases are manually configured by your organization administrators.
Please note: Approvers must have push notifications enabled in the Rho App.
Requests are only live for 24 hours. If the request is not approved within 24 hours, it will automatically be canceled.
If your request is approved, your new user limit is permanent, unless an administrator manually reduces it.
To get started, sync your data with QuickBooks. Here's how.
Next, open your QuickBooks account. Click the Accounting tab, and select Chart of Accounts. That's where your Rho transaction data will flow.
Because our native integration allows for more data to flow from Rho to QBO — including receipts and other information — transaction data will not be available in the Banking tab.
Email us at clientservice@rho.co or give us a call at 855-7-GETRHO with any questions.
Closing a budget
If you need to make a department budget permanently inactive, you must close it.
First, go to your Budgets page and select the one you wish to close.
Once you open the budget you wish to close click the Action (...) button and select Close Budget. Finally, click Yes, Close Budget on the confirmation window. The budget is deleted from your Rho Account, and can no longer be assigned to transactions.
Note: If you need to temporarily make a department budget inactive, you can click the Action button and select Archive Budget.

This function is only applicable if you have already configured the ERP Bill flow.
In your Rho dashboard, navigate to Accounts Payable > Payments.
In the upper right corner, click the Sync Bills button.
The sync will take place in the background, with no disruption to the dashboard. Once synced, bills will appear in the Bills > Processed and Payments > Drafts tab table.

You can create a new Rho Card with a few simple steps, by navigating to your Cards Tab > Team Cards, and clicking the black and green + Create Card button in the top right-hand corner. From the dropdown, select if you'd like to create a card for yourself or someone else, or bulk create cards.
In the pop-up window, select whether you want to create a physical or virtual Rho Card.
Rho will send the physical card by mail. Virtual cards can be used instantly upon creation, both online and via Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Set up your physical card
If you select Physical Card, you can set up your card in the below screen:
- Card Limit (optional): Specify the maximum amount of money that can be spent monthly using the Rho Card, if desired. By default, the amount is in United States Dollars.
- Budget (optional): If desired, assign all transactions made with the Rho Card to the budget selected from the drop-down list. Note: Only Admins and Account Owners can assign budgets to cards.
- Assign Rho attributes (optional): If desired, you can assign attribute values for specific cards, so transactions from these cards are automatically mapped to these specific values without further manual mapping required.
- Merchant Controls (optional): If desired, restrict Rho Card transactions to only select merchants or the categories selected from the drop-down list. For example, you can select Airlines, Air Carriers and Airports, Flying Fields, if you want the card to only be used for air travel expenses.
- International Spend (optional): If desired, you can enable the the card to be used outside the U.S.
Once you've filled in these details, click Continue and you'll be prompted to enter the Billing and Shipping Address. Once completed, you'll see a confirmation that your physical card has been ordered.
Notes:
- We cannot ship physical Rho cards to P.O. Boxes. Physical card shipping addresses must be physical addresses.
- Physical cards and virtual cards cannot share numbers, CVV codes, or expiration dates. Each created card is its own unique card, therefore two cards, one virtual, and one physical cannot have the same number or be used as the same card.
- If you order a physical Rho Card, you will receive an email when the card has been mailed to your address. Typically Rho Cards arrive via FedEx within 5 business days. In case it takes longer, please reach out to our Client Service to request the tracking number

So, if you set your minimum amount as $50 and your number of approvals at 2, then any transfer of fifty dollars or more must receive two approvals from two separate people designated in the Approver list before the outgoing payment can be sent.
Click Save Changes to create the rule. Note, you can create multiple rules.
When you are finished making changes, Click the Save button in the top right corner to save and apply the rules you created.

Rho offers a powerful feature for automating your accounting processes: Advanced Mapping Rules. This functionality allows you to streamline your accounting by setting up rules that automatically assign multiple attributes to transactions based on specific conditions.
This guide will walk you through how to configure your account and attribute mapping so that you can save time closing your books as we automatically map attributes to your records.
Here is a video walkthrough:
Before you can set up mapping rules, you have to enable direct integration between Rho and your accounting software. See full instructions below:
IMPORTANT: Ensure all necessary accounts (e.g., credit, checking, and other accounts) are created in your accounting software.
Once all the required accounts are created, click Refresh in the top right corner of the Accounting tab for the new data to appear in Rho. This can sometimes take a few minutes.
Understanding Advanced Mapping Rules
Advanced Mapping Rules enable you to define conditions under which multiple transaction attributes, such as location, department, class, and customer, are automatically assigned. This eliminates the need for creating multiple individual rules for each attribute, significantly reducing manual effort and enhancing automation. For example, with one rule, you can define that if the vendor is Starbucks, then the location is New York, the department is Marketing, the class is Social, and the customer is Jack.
Account Mapping connects any Rho account (Card, Checking, Treasury, or Accounts Payable) to an existing or newly created Chart of Accounts (CoA) in any accounting software. As a result, all transactions associated with that Rho account are automatically transferred to the corresponding CoA in the accounting software.
Getting Started with Mapping Rules
To create mapping rules in Rho, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your Rho account in the desktop app, navigate to and select the Accounting tab in the left-hand menu in Rho.
- Select Mapping Rules: then select the Entity from the list to create mapping rules. Note that all changes are saved automatically.
- You will now see the Ledger tab, where you set your default rules. These default rules direct all unmapped transactions to a specific Income and Expense ledger in your accounting software.
- Define the Rules: In the rule configuration interface, specify the Condition that triggers the rule. For example, if the transaction involves a specific vendor like Starbucks.
- Add or Edit Rules: Click Create Rule + to create a new rule. To edit an existing rule, click on the pencil icon.
- Create Advanced Rules: You can create advanced rules from two places
- Selecting a rule, clicking the three dots, and selecting turn into the advanced rule.
- Navigate to the Advanced Rules tab, and click on Create Rule +.
- Define Advanced Rule: You can add conditions that have to be met for something to be input, or a single condition has to be met for many inputs
- Under Mapping and Conditions, list the multiple attributes that should be automatically assigned when the condition is met. For instance, you can set the location to New York, the department to Marketing, the class to Social, and the customer to Jack, all within a single rule.
- Complex Rule Priority: Remember, in scenarios where multiple rules could apply to a transaction, Rho prioritizes the more complex rule. This ensures that the most detailed and relevant data is captured for your accounting needs.
- Once you've defined your rule, click on Continue.
- Specify the Timeframe: If necessary, define the Timeframe during which the rule should be active. This ensures that the rule only applies to transactions within a specific period.
- Save the Rule: After configuring the condition(s) and action(s), click Create & Apply Mappings. The rule will now automatically apply the specified attributes to transactions that meet the condition(s) within the defined timeframe.
Mapping Rules for your Attributes
Here is a list of the various Rho Attributes you can map to your Accounting Software. See the descriptions below.
- Budgets: Budgets in Rho are used to classify transactions across your cost centers. You can create budgets by department, project, and more (e.g. assign cards, transactions, or people to budgets to help you manage your organization's expenses).
- Labels: Labels are the equivalent of classes in your accounting system. You can create custom labels to help categorize your spending and assign labels to any budget, transaction, or bill directly in Rho.
- Cards: Virtual or physical Rho cards created in your Rho account can be assigned to transactions (e.g., John Smith Card, Google Ads Card, IT SaaS Card, etc.).
- Merchants: The payee or recipient of the goods/services (e.g., Google, Uber, Smith Supplies) can be assigned to transactions.
- Merchant Categories: The classification of the payee's business by the type of goods or services provided (e.g., Taxis/Limousines, Courier Services, Electronics Store) can be assigned to transactions.
- Payees: A payee is any person or business you want to directly send money to (via ACH, Wire, or check). You can create and save payees in your Rho account.
Best Practices for Using Complex Mapping Rules
- Prioritize clarity: Ensure that the conditions and actions in your rules are clearly defined to avoid confusion.
- Review regularly: Periodically review your mapping rules to ensure they remain relevant and update them as necessary.
- Utilize the most complex rule: In cases where multiple rules could apply, Rho will prioritize the more complex rule to ensure the most detailed and relevant data is captured.

Rho users with expense approval permissions can review reimbursement requests and approve or reject them, similarly to other expenses flowing from a Rho Card.
Approving reimbursement requests
All reimbursements that aren’t auto-approved once they meet the documentation rules require an approver to manually review and approve or reject the transaction.
To view reimbursements that require approval, click on Reimbursements in the Expenses tab, then use the Status filter to select Needs Approval and Needs My Approval. You can use other filters like Budget and User to narrow down which transactions you’d like to view.
To approve a reimbursement request, click on the transaction, which will open the transaction details on the right of the dashboard. Here, you can review all attributes of the transaction, and click Approve.
Note: Users on the account cannot approve their own reimbursement requests by design. Please reach out to your designated approver for assistance.
Disbursing reimbursement requests
To disburse reimbursement requests (send funds out to employees via ACH), users with disbursement permissions can navigate to the Expenses tab and click on the Reimbursements above the table or + Disburse.
From there, you’ll see all pending disbursements per each user, and can pay them all out in one payment per user by clicking Pay Total.
You then confirm which account the payment should come from, and click Create.
Disbursements submitted before 3pm ET should arrive in your employee’s account same-day. If submitted after 3pm ET, funds will arrive the next business day.
You can also manually flag a payment as being paid outside of the Rho platform (ex. Via Payroll). Click the 3-dot icon to see “Mark as Paid.” Reimbursements Marked as paid will no longer show up in the disbursement queue.

At this time Rho does not offer check books, printed checks, or cashier's checks for security and fraud prevention purposes. Additionally, Rho does not support third-party check issuance or printing, (including issuing checks from your Payroll providers (ADP, Gusto, etc). In order to complete Payroll checks for your employees we suggest creating them as Vendors and issuing checks through Rho.
The checks that are sent from the Rho platform are comparable to cashier's check in a couple ways:
- The funds are pulled out of your account immediately, so there's no chance that the check will bounce.
- The check is also drawn from an account that is separate from your Rho account, reducing the exposure of your account details.
However, it's important to note that Rho checks are only accepted at locations that accept corporate checks, not cashier's checks.
Here are instructions to send a physical check to a Vendor from your Rho account.
In the Cards tab of the Rho app, you’ll be able to see all your physical and virtual Rho cards. They’re sorted by status, from active to locked to inactive to canceled.
You can lock, unlock, and cancel your Rho cards in the app by tapping on the card and clicking Lock Card or Cancel Card.
For more information about locking and unlocking your Rho cards, please see here.
If you have already set up your Quickbooks integration by following these steps, you are now ready to Sync.
To sync all of your transactions from Rho to Quickbooks, go to the Accounting Tab, click on the transactions you want to sync and select "sync transactions." If you want to sync all transactions over then click the sync button in the top right and select the period you want to sync.
Important notes
- Receipts will also transfer to QuickBooks if you store them in Rho.
- This is a manual process. You must click this Sync Quickbooks button each time you would like to reconcile your Rho account in QB.
- Your transactions will flow through to Quickbooks and appear in the CHART OF ACCOUNTS tab. If you've been using CSV uploads to sync your Rho account with Quickbooks so far, please give us a call. We'll get you set up.
- When you connect QB to Rho, you will see a new account in your COA tab titled "RHO [Checking Account Digits]". This is your primary account and is required for your automatic account reconciliation. It's OK to rename this account, but please don't delete it, or your integration will not work.
The first time you submit a reimbursement, you’ll be prompted to provide your personal bank account details. This data is not visible to any other team members. Rho securely stores this data to securely deposit reimbursements to your account via ACH (note that only domestic accounts are eligible).
To submit a reimbursement request in Rho, navigate to the Personal Expenses tab, then click Reimbursements.
From here, you can click “+ Reimburse” to begin submitting your transaction. This is where you can add a receipt, transaction amount, date, and merchant name.
Fill in the details of the bank account you would like to receive your reimbursement to. Click Save Details when complete.
Please note: Rho currently does not have the ability to process reimbursements for international users in local currency
You can track the status of your reimbursement requests in the Reimbursements section of the Personal Expenses tab. Click on a transaction to expand details, then click Activity to monitor progress.
If you are expecting a deposit or withdrawal transaction that is not displayed on the Rho Dashboard or the applicable Account page, you can check here when you can expect it to land.
If the awaited time has passed, you should contact a Rho Client Services Representative. When contacting Rho, please provide the following transaction details:

When you have Expenses enabled, you can set up custom rules that will apply to any and all Rho Card transactions, reimbursements, and credits.
How to create rules
To create a rule, navigate to the Expenses tab in your Rho dashboard, then scroll to the Rules section and click the + Add Rule button.
Here's what each field means:
- Rule Name
- The name and description will be visible to your organization in the Policies tab
- Expense Type
- This is the type of expense the rule will apply to. You can apply to Rho Card, Reimbursement, and Credit expenses.
- Conditions
- You set conditions that will enable the rule, by amount, user, merchant, and more
- Examples: Amount is greater than $25; Merchant Name equals Home Depot
- Set requirements
- If a transaction meets the above conditions, the cardholder will be required to provide these pieces of information
- Penalties
- Mark an expense as Out of Policy if it meets the conditions
- Exceptions
- Exclude specific users and cards from the rule
How rules impact the expense flow
When a rule is enabled, it will apply to all relevant transactions. Please note, these are post-spend controls, meaning Expense rules will not cause Rho Cards to get declined.
For more information about Rho Card settings & spend controls, see here.
For examples of expense rules, please see here.
AP Payments can be made via the following methods: ACH, wire transfers (domestic and international), checks, or paid by single use cards.
Single-Use cards allow for faster vendor payments and more security, as they feature a single authorization, restricted payment amounts, and allow you to specify the time window for the vendor payment.
You can view all Vendor Cards in your Cards Tab under Vendor Cards.
What does it mean to send a Single-Use card payment?
When “Single-Use Card” is selected as a payment method, the card will be created and the email sent with card details based on the “Created/Due” date indicated in the payment line item. The card will be nicknamed <Payee> AP Card: <Invoice Number>
Single-Use cards may be charged one time and will be pre-set with the payment amount and a 14-day card usage window. You can edit the 14-day card usage window in Card Settings. Once the card is successfully charged, it will become invalid.
You can send single-use card details securely to your vendors. The secure link to the card details expires in 72 hours.
What will the card details look like to the vendor?
Vendors will see the payment creator, organization sender, and invoice number, as well as the card details needed to approve payment.
What happens to used cards in the Rho dashboard?
Once a single-use card has been used, it can still be viewed in the Team Cards section of the dashboard. Its status will be changed from Active to Canceled, but the card details are still viewable.

The Expenses tab will not impact your current process for syncing your Rho activity to accounting.
If you have set up your Quickbooks integration, you can sync data from the Expenses tab the same way you currently sync your Rho activity. For more details about accounting integrations and syncing, please see here.
While the Rules Builder determines what additional information is required for a given expense, approvals are set by dollar amount.
To set up approvals, go to your Organization Settings by clicking your company name at the top left of the Rho dashboard.
You can also automatically route employee expenses directly to an employee’s manager for review and approval. To learn how to set this up, refer to this article on Direct Manager Approvals. Users cannot approve their own expenses by default.
Please note: If Expenses is not enabled, you won’t be able to set up Approvals.
How to set up approvals
Approvals are determined by dollar amount. You can set a threshold, like $100 and below, to auto-approve. You can assign multiple levels of approval within a dollar threshold
In the example below, all Rho Card spend will be auto-approved once the necessary information (like receipt and attendees), as determined by the organization’s rules set up in the Policy tab, is added to the transaction.
To require approvals for certain transaction amounts, you can create multiple levels of approval.
In the example below:
- All spend under $10 will be auto-approved
- For transactions over $10, a user in the first tier of approvers must approve
- For transactions over $500, both a user in the first tier and the second tier must approve
- All transactions greater than $10,000 require three tiers of approval
Note:
Once you create an approval tier, you won't be able to change the amount. In order to make changes, you can create a new tier and delete the old one.
Here are some examples of common rules that companies use in Rho’s expenses experience to monitor spend.
Receipt requirements
In this example, the company wants to require all employees to attach receipts to transactions over $20. There are also a few exceptions configured: 2 users are not required to add receipts, and 4 vendor-specific cards will also be exempt from this rule, meaning that they won't need a receipt to be approved.
Attendees needed for client entertainment spend
In this example, all transactions filed under the Entertainment budget require that the Attendees field be filled in, as well as a receipt.
Home office stipends
In this example, any transactions assigned to the Home Office Stipend budget that exceed $250 will be marked as “Out-of-Policy” and need review in the Company Expenses tab.
Job numbers required in notes
In this example, all transactions purchased in the Construction Materials budget must have a receipt attached and a note that contains a job number.
In the Company and Personal expenses tab, you can filter your expenses by user, budget, or status to easily monitor the expense workflow.
You can search within these drop-down menus or scroll through them to select one or more options.
You can also search for specific transactions using the Search button on the left.
Rho’s expense management tool enables all members of your organization to track spend, get approvals when needed, and review unexpected or out-of-policy spend.
When Expenses are enabled (by an Account Owner or Admin), all Rho card transactions will automatically flow through the Expenses Tab.
The views for Expenses will vary by user group.
How to enable Expenses
To enable expenses for your organization, go to the Settings tab. Once you enable this feature, all members of your organization will now see the Expenses tab in the navigation menu.
Company Expenses tab
The Company tab in Expenses shows:
- Account Owners and Admins all Rho Card spend across the whole organization.
- Budget Owners all Rho Card spend in their budget(s)
In this tab, you can search for specific transactions, or filter by Users, Status, Budgets, and more to review spend. You can also sync to your accounting software.
Personal Expenses tab
In the Personal Expenses tab, all Rho users can see their own expenses and review the status of each transaction.
Policies tab
The Policies tab is where your company policy documents are stored, and where you can set up spending rules that determine how transactions flow through the expenses experience.
You can also configure separate policies for Expenses and Reimbursements.
Account Owners and Admins can add their expense policy document(s) in the Employee Handbook field below:
Account Owners and Admins can also set up new rules and edit existing rules in this tab.
By utilizing the Reimbursement widget, users can decide whether their policies apply just to expenses, or reimbursements as well.
For more information about Rho’s expense features, please see our Expenses Collection.

Account Mapping allows you to select the Bank, Credit Card, Accounts Payable, and Treasury Chart of Accounts in NetSuite that you would like to map transactions and bills to.
- If you already are tracking Rho transactions in a designated CoA, this allows you the ability to continue posting Rho transactions to that exact CoA.
- If you do not select a NetSuite CoA (via the NetSuite Mapping page) prior to syncing your Rho account, Rho will create these accounts for you in NetSuite and post transactions to those accounts. You may rename this account, but, if you delete this account, the integration between your Rho and NetSuite account will not work.
If you have been uploading .CSV files to sync your Rho account with NetSuite so far, please give us a call, so we can easily get you set up.
If your company has expense policy document(s), you can upload it to Rho so it’s accessible for your whole team.

What are Mastercard Easy Savings?

You can view your profile and settings by logging into the Rho dashboard and clicking your name in the top right corner.
In your user profile, you can view:
- Phone Number
- Assigned User Role/Access Level
- Monthly Spend Limit Across All Cards
- If You Are The Account's Designated Approver Or Not

You can view all transaction on the right side of the page, as well as any Rho cards under your name.
To view transactions or account activity, click the View All button under the graph. You can sort transactions by Dates, Budgets, Status and more.
An unauthorized transaction is any transaction made by a person other than the cardholder.
If your card is ever lost or stolen, please lock your card and contact Client Service right away at 855-743-8746.
To dispute an unauthorized or erroneous transaction on your Rho Card, please reach out to the Rho Client Service team, which is available for live support Monday through Friday from 8am ET to 8pm ET via:
- Email: clientservice@rho.co
- Phone: +1 (855) 743-8746
- Chat in your Rho dashboard
To dispute a transaction, our Client Service team will need:
- The last 4 digits of the card affected
- The Rho Transaction IDs of the disputed transactions
The Client Service team will also ask a series of questions to best determine how to handle your dispute. Typically, disputes may take up to 90 days to be resolved. A member of the Rho Client Service team will keep you informed throughout the process.
In the meantime, we also recommend that you reach out to the merchant for any erroneous transactions, such as double charges or overcharges. Often, working directly with the merchant can lead to faster resolutions.
What happens after I dispute a transaction?
Once we receive your dispute information, our team will initiate the dispute process with Mastercard. As a standard protective measure, the card(s) associated with unrecognized and unauthorized charges will be automatically canceled to prevent any further fraudulent charges. A dispute determination can take 45-90 days and is managed by Mastercard. We will reach out as soon as we have an update.
To ensure no additional unauthorized charges happen, we always recommend implementing the following features:
Pay with your Rho Checking Account:
The fastest and easiest way to pay down your current credit balance is to first ensure that your Rho Checking Account is funded. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to fund your account.
Once your checking account is funded, navigate to the Cards section in your Rho account.
From there, click the Pay Card Balance button to initiate a card repayment.
Pay with an External Bank Account:
If you haven't already, link your external bank account to your Rho account in Organization Settings. For detailed instructions, see How can I link a business account to my Rho account?
Once your external bank account is successfully linked, navigate to the Cards section in your Rho account.
From there, click the Pay Card Balance button and choose your external bank account from the dropdown to initiate a card repayment.
Please note that card repayments abide by ACH cut-off times. Repayments initiated prior to 2:00 pm ET should begin processing the same day. Any repayments initiated after 2:00 pm ET would be subject to next-day processing. Card repayments can take up to 4 business days to settle.
Automatic Repayments:
To avoid interruptions to your card activity, you can set up Automatic Card Payments to automatically pay down your balance once you reach a certain percentage of your allotted spend. Here are instructions on how to set that up.
At the end of your credit cycle, when your balance is due in full, your account designated for Rho card repayments will automatically be debited on your payment due date for the entire balance owed. Just ensure your account is funded for frictionless payments.
If you have a scheduled recurring payment, you can easily cancel the next upcoming payment before it is released.
From your Rho Banking tab, select the green View All button under Scheduled Payments. (Note, this option will not appear if you have already select a specific bank account under the All Accounts section).
Once on the Scheduled Payments tab, you should be able to locate the next upcoming payment of that recurring transfer, and simply click the red cancel button on the right side of your screen!
To assign any of your cards or individual charges to a budget that you have been assigned to, start by navigating to the Cards tab in your Rho dashboard.
While only users with Account Owner, Administrator, and Bookkeeper user roles can assign Budgets to banking transactions, users with Budget Owner and Employee user roles can assign card transactions, to a specific budget in their Cards Tab.
Assigning Individual Card Charges to Budgets
To assign a budget to a specific transaction, simply click the "Not Assigned" section of a transaction's line item (under the budget column). This will prompt a dropdown list of all of your created budgets.
You can also click on the transaction to open the Transaction Details window of that charge, scroll down to the Rho Attributes section and select your budget from there.
You can only assign one budget to each charge.
Assigning Full Cards to Budgets
If you are an Account Owner or Administrator, you can assign any card to a specific budget at any time, upon card creation or after.
If you are a Budget Owner, Bookkeeper or Employee you can assign any card to a budget that you belong to upon card creation.
Once a card is assigned to a budget, every charge that card has will be auto-assigned to that Budget.
Automatic Card Payments enable continuous card spending by ensuring you always have sufficient credit limit headroom. You can customize your limit threshold and payment amount to suit your needs.
Set Up Automatic Payments
To set up automatic card payments, click on your business name in the upper left corner of your screen to find the Organization Settings option.
Only Account Owners and Administrators are able to configure Automatic Card Payments.
In the Administration tab, scroll to the Payment Security section, then scroll until you see the section for Automatic Payments. Click on "Change settings" and the payment criteria will appear below.
Customize Your Credit Limit Threshold
First, you must customize your credit limit threshold. This percentage reflects the card balance value that triggers Rho to automatically create a payment. This allows you to continue spending as you approach your limit. The default is 95%. You can set a threshold between 1 and 99%.
- For example, using the default 95%, if your credit limit is $100,000, once your credit balance is over $95,000, this will trigger Rho to automatically create an interim payment via an ACH Pull.
Customize Your Payment Amount
Next, customize your payment amount. This is calculated as a percentage of your total credit limit. The default is 5%. You can set a payment amount between 1 and 99%.
- For example, using the default 5% - if your credit limit is $100,000, once your credit balance has exceeded $95,000 (per the above example), Rho will automatically make an interim payment of $5,000 via ACH Pull. This card payment of $5,000 will be applied to your card balance in order to enable continuous spending.
Select Your Payment Account Source
Finally, you must select the account from which you would like the interim payment to be automatically paid. An automatic ACH pull will occur for the preset % amount once the threshold is hit. Available accounts include:
- Your Rho checking account
- Your linked account at a third-party financial institution
For more information about linking an external account, see How can I link a business account to my Rho account?
Please Note: Automatic payments are credited to your Rho Card account when received to enable uninterrupted card spending for accounts in good standing. The Rho Card payment isn't complete until after the payment settlements and the ACH reversal window has closed.
The balance of your Rho Savings Account displayed in the navigation of the Banking tab and in the Savings account page.
The Savings Account page displays the following balances:
Total Balance: This balance includes both settled and pending transfers into your Rho Savings Account.
Available Balance: Total balance less any pending debits from your Savings Account.
Pending Debits: The total amount of pending debits from your Savings Account.
When scheduling one-time or recurring payments, it's important to note that once scheduled payments reach their due date, they are sent out at approximately 4am EST that day. We release scheduled payments early to ensure that all scheduled domestic wires and ACHs meet the same-day cut-off time, and are settled by that evening.
This means you cannot schedule a payment on the same day you plan to release it. (For example, if you are scheduling a payment on January 2nd to be released on January 2nd the payment will not go out). If you do accidentally schedule a payment on the same day it needs to go out, it will not be released, nor will it default to the next business day automatically. Instead, that payment will be struck as overdue in your Scheduled Payments Tab.
To send a payment in real-time you will need to select the black and green Make A Payment button in your banking tab. On the transaction details page of that payment, be sure to select the "Send Now" option (vs Send Later).
This also means that any scheduled payments that need approval, must be approved prior to 4am EST on their due date, or the payment will not be released.
For scheduled payments that are from Accounts Payable Bills only:
Please make sure the Payment Date is set as a business day (Monday-Friday). Any payment dates set for weekend days (Saturday or Sunday) will not be sent, and be reflected as "overdue" in your Payments Tab.

The American Deposit Management Co.
Master Services Agreement
THIS MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [Date entered on survey], between American Deposit Management, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary ADM Consulting, LLC (referred to herein collectively as “ADM”) on the one hand, and (“Client”) on the other hand.
RECITALS
A. ADM provides various treasury and financial services, including the services set forth in Recital C
(the “Program”);
- Client desires to enroll in such consulting and advisory services as set forth below;
- Client further desires to appoint ADM as agent to deploy, manage, and administer Client funds
with select Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and/or National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”) insured depository institutions (collectively, the “Program Institutions”) upon initial deposit of funds by Client at custodian banks (collectively, the “Custodians”);
D. ADM desires to provide such consulting, management and fulfillment services as requested by Client herein; and
E. ADM further desires to manage Client funds as agent to be held in Custodian and Program Institution deposit accounts (a Custodian is deemed a Program Institution and referred to herein as such when Client funds have been deployed by ADM in deposit accounts at the Custodian), to deploy, manage and administer those funds consistent with Client’s objectives, and, as requested by the Client, to provide Client with evidence of the Deposit Insurance or that the funds are secured.
F. Client has entered into an agreement (the “Rho Terms of Use”) with Under Technologies Inc, dba Rho Technologies (“Rho”) pursuant to which, amongst other things, Client has engaged Rho to deliver instructions and other information to and from third party service providers, such as ADM (such services being, the “Rho Services”).
AGREEMENTS
In consideration of the foregoing premises, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Program Selection. The Program is comprised of the following components:
(a) the American Money Market Account (the “AMMA”), a liquid money market account, under which funds will be deployed and managed by ADM in bank deposit accounts at Program Institutions1 (the “AMMA Accounts”), and
1 Deposit accounts at Program Institutions may be classified as money market accounts, non-interest bearing accounts, interest bearing accounts savings accounts or negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts.
WHEREAS:
1
(b) the American Term Deposit Account, under which funds will be deployed and managed by ADM in certificate of deposit accounts (“CD Accounts”).
Client has the option to determine whether to request (1) extended deposit insurance, under which funds in excess of the amounts insured by the FDIC or NCUA are secured through the pledge of identified and agreed upon collateral or issuance of a surety bond, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, or (2) waiver of extended deposit insurance, under which funds in excess of the amounts insured by the FDIC or NCUA will not be secured. By signing below, Client acknowledges and understands that, in the event Client chooses to waive extended deposit insurance, Client funds deposited with a Program Institution in an amount in excess of the applicable limit for FDIC or NCUA insurance coverage, are not guaranteed by the FDIC or NCUA, or through the pledge of identified and agreed upon collateral, or the issuance of a surety bond, or by any government agency and, as a result, in the event of a financial failure of any such Program Institution, Client funds on deposit in a depository account with such Program Institution will be at risk. By signing Exhibit A, Client expressly waives extended deposit insurance.
Prior to depositing funds, Client shall select the program under which the particular funds shall be deployed and managed and provide ADM with written notification of such selection.
2. Account Eligibility; Client Representations and Warranties. The Program is only open to participants that meet the minimum deposit requirement currently in place at the time of opening. The minimum deposit requirement may be waived at the discretion of ADM.
The Program is only open to participants which are U.S. Persons. For this purpose, a “U.S. Person” is (i) any partnership, corporation or limited liability company organized or incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (ii) any trust as to which one or more natural persons reside in the United States, or a U.S. Person as otherwise defined herein, has or have the authority as trustee to control all of the substantial decisions of the trust, (iii) any federal, state or local governmental unit, agency or authority located in the United States, and (iv) such other parties as ADM may approve, from time to time.
Public Unit Depositors make the following representations and warranties to ADM:
(a) Client is a “public unit” and the undersigned individual who has executed this Agreement on behalf of Client is the “official custodian” of Client as those terms are used in 12 C.F.R. § 745.10 of the NCUA regulations,
(b) Client is a “public depositor” (or that term’s equivalent) as defined under applicable state statutes in which the public depositor is located,
(c) Client hereby represents and warrants to ADM that (i) the undersigned officer of Client is knowledgeable as to the source and nature of the funds that are deposited with ADM; and (ii) no funds that are deposited via ADM pursuant to this Agreement are “proceeds of municipal securities” (as defined in Rule 15Ba1- 1(m)(1) promulgated under Section 15B of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) unless Client is represented, with respect to the applicable municipal securities and related funds investments, by a municipal advisor that is registered with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and is independent of ADM, and
(d) Client has received the Disclosure Statement of Municipal Advisor from ADM.
All Clients other than public unit depositors, represent and warrant that they are an "accredited investor" as that term is defined by applicable securities laws and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2
(e) Client represents that it is party to Rho Terms of Use and shall inform ADM if it ceases to be party thereto. Client represents that ADM shall continue to honor Instructions received from Rho until notified by Client of termination of its agreement with Rho.
3. Deposits. Under the Program, cash balances will be deployed into deposit accounts which are obligations of the Program Institutions in which the deposits are held and qualify for Deposit Insurance protection in accordance with the applicable rules of the FDIC or NCUA, as such rules may be amended from time to time. The Program Institutions may pay interest, at varying rates, on the deposit accounts (See “Interest” below).
AMMA Accounts. Each business day, ADM or its Custodian(s) will deposit your cash balances held in custodial accounts into one or more omnibus deposit accounts maintained at the Program Institutions.
CD Accounts. ADM or its Custodian(s) will deposit your cash balances held in custodial accounts into one or more separate CD Accounts maintained at the Program Institutions. The terms of such CD Accounts will be selected in accordance with your liquidity needs and stated investment goals. Client shall provide ADM with written notification when requesting or opening a CD Account.
Your deposit account ownership will be evidenced by an entry on records maintained by ADM and/or the Custodian(s) for each of the Program Institutions at which your funds are on deposit. You will receive a monthly account statement that will reflect all deposits, withdrawals, Program Institution deposit balance(s), net earnings and a delivered rate.
Your Funds (including accrued interest) in each recognized legal capacity, are currently eligible for up to $250,000 of Deposit Insurance at each Program Institution in which your funds are on deposit (subject to the aggregation of any other funds you have on deposit at the same Program Institution in the same legal capacity). Unless you have elected to establish extended deposit coverage, ADM will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no more than $250,000 of your funds will be deposited in any single Program Institution; however, if funds in excess of $250,000 are deposited into or withdrawn from the Program in a single day, for a limited amount of time (intraday or overnight), the entire amount of the withdrawal or deposit may be held at one Program Institution. In such an event, in lieu of obtaining full Deposit Insurance, ADM may take steps to secure the amount of your funds by employing the tools available to you by extending deposit insurance.
Funds intended for deposit into the AMMA Accounts and/or CD Accounts must be deposited through the Custodian and cannot be placed directly with ADM or any of the Program Institutions. Deposits received by the Custodian on any standard banking day before 12:00 P.M. Central Time will be deposited with the Program Institutions on the next business day. Payments made by check, money order or cashier’s checks will be held based upon availability of funds.
4. Withdrawals. By enrolling in the Program, you consent to have your money on deposit at the Program Institutions automatically withdrawn from the Program Institution accounts upon your request for withdrawal. ADM reserves the right to take reasonable measures to verify your withdrawal request (but is not under any duty to do so), and ADM will not be held liable for any delays caused by such verification measures.
You may make a request for withdrawal at any time, in any amount of available funds, from your account. You acknowledge that CD Accounts are time deposits and, therefore, certain withdrawals from CD Accounts may result in the assessment of early withdrawal penalties or fees. You agree that you shall be wholly responsible for the payment of such penalties or fees.
Withdrawals are limited to six (6) per month. Withdrawals must be requested from ADM and cannot be made directly from the Custodian or any of the Program Institutions in which funds are held. ADM will process, or cause to be processed, withdrawal requests on Tuesdays and Thursdays (“Processing Days”) for settlement to your designated account on Wednesdays and Fridays (“Settlement Days”). Requests for amounts of $3,000,000 or less received by ADM on or before 12:00 P.M. Central Time on a Processing Day will settle to your designated
3
account on the next Settlement Day specified by you in the withdrawal request. Withdrawal requests for amounts of $3,000,000 or less received by ADM after 12:00 P.M. Central Time on a Processing Day will not settle to your designated account the next day, but will be settled to your designated account on the next Settlement Day thereafter. Requests for amounts greater than $3,000,000 are considered special handling and will be settled at a mutually acceptable Settlement Day, regardless of whether the withdrawal request is received by ADM on or before 12:00 P.M. Central Time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ADM is unable to process withdrawal requests or settle such requests to your designated account on holidays recognized by the Federal Reserve Board. If a withdrawal request is made or a withdrawal is scheduled to settle on a holiday recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, the transaction will be processed/settled as follows: (i) in the case of a withdrawal request, such request will be processed on the next available Processing Day, and will be settled to your designated account in accordance with the settlement timelines set forth above, based on the non-holiday Processing Day; or (ii) in the case of settling a withdrawal, the funds will be scheduled to settle to your account on the next Settlement Day following the holiday.
The accounts at the Program Institutions do not include check writing privileges, ATM transactions, or debit card transactions. Withdrawals can be made by telephone or electronically using any procedures required by ADM.
All funds movements (whether involving deposits, transfers or withdrawals) will be subject to time-of-day and local business day limitations, including limitations imposed by time-zone differences. ADM will not be held liable for any delay, failure or error by any Program Institution in making payment on any withdrawal.
5. Initial Funding. Upon Client’s deposit of funds with a Custodian, ADM shall distribute such funds to Program Institutions on behalf of Client. Pursuant to Client’s program selection, ADM shall cause the funds to be held in the AMMA Accounts and/or CD Accounts (AMMA Accounts and CD Accounts are collectively referred to herein as the “Deposit Accounts”) of the Program Institutions. Client acknowledges that ADM may, from time to time, place a certain portion of Client’s funds in a non-interest bearing transaction account. Funds in the Deposit Accounts shall remain the sole property of Client.
6. Management of Funds. ADM agrees to honor Client instructions (“Instructions”), with respect to this Agreement, received from Rho, by written or electronic means, as if they were delivered to ADM directly by Client. . In the event that Instructions received from Rho, on behalf of Client do not reflect Instructions of Client, Client agrees that such Instructions, received from Rho, shall be considered Instructions received directly by Client. Client further agrees that any disputes arising from Instructions received from Rho to ADM are governed expressly by the agreement between Rho and Client to which ADM is not a party nor under which ADM shall not have any obligations or liability thereunder.
7. Client expressly consents to ADM sharing with Rho such information as Rho may request in the course of Rho providing the Rho Services, including but not limited to information concerning Client funds, Deposit Accounts, transactions and such other information as ADM and Custodians may maintain with respect to Client and their funds. If Client wishes for ADM to cease sharing such information with Rho, it shall send notice of such preference to ADM and also to Rho. Rho is not a party to this Agreement and shall not have any rights or obligations hereunder..
8. ADM will deploy and continue to manage Client funds in the Deposit Accounts from time to time on Client’s behalf. ADM and the Custodians will provide Client evidence of the transactional history of Client’s funds upon reasonable written request by Client. ADM will pay interest with respect to the Deposit Accounts as outlined in Section 9. In accordance with the Client’s stated objectives, ADM will manage all funds in Deposit Accounts using reasonable discretion.
9. Deposit Insurance, Security and Collateral. ADM will take all steps necessary to deploy funds in Deposit Accounts that are insured by the FDIC and/or NCUA, as applicable, and to ensure that all funds deployed are fully insured or secured in accordance with the Client's instructions. Custodians and Program Institutions will be selected by ADM. With respect to Program Institutions, ADM agrees that funds shall only be
4
deployed in FDIC-insured banks or NCUA-insured credit unions that are “Qualified.” For a Program Institution to be Qualified initially (at the time of a first deposit in the depository) it must be “well capitalized” (as such term is defined by applicable FDIC or NCUA regulations) based upon information about such Program Institution published by the FDIC or the NCUA on a quarterly basis. The fact that a Program Institution is “well capitalized” does not mean that it will not be subject to failure at a later point in time. Further, in the event a Program Institution fails, its insured deposits will either be assumed by another insured depository institution, or by the appropriate regulator for the failed institution (either the FDIC or the NCUA), in its capacity as receiver. In either case, as with all other depositors, it may take a period of time for ADM to substantiate its claim to and withdraw any funds previously on deposit at the failed financial institution.
From time to time, there may be instances arising from processing cutoffs and other operational deadlines where deposits placed in the AMMA or the American Term Deposit Account may exceed the Deposit Insurance coverage limits. In such instances, to the extent commercially reasonable, ADM will take all steps necessary to secure the full deposit (or any portion in excess of the Deposit Insurance coverage limit) in any Deposit Accounts by: (i) entering into a repurchase agreement on Client’s behalf with the particular Program Institution(s), pursuant to which the deposited funds will be exchanged at certain agreed upon times for securities (or a secured interest therein) owned by the Program Institution(s) and then re-exchanged at a specified future date and price, or (ii) obtaining a perfected first lien security interest in eligible Program Institution Collateral with a value no less than 100% of the balance of your funds in the Deposit Accounts. “Collateral” shall be any obligation authorized by law to be pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits. At Client’s written request, ADM will provide evidence of such repurchase or security agreement, as applicable.
In addition to securing deposits with the Collateral described above, ADM may deploy funds at one or more Program Institutions where a surety bond or similar private insurance is in place for the benefit of ADM's clients securing any deposit balances in excess of the Deposit Insurance coverage limits. At the reasonable request of Client, ADM shall provide Client evidence that such surety bond or similar private insurance is place.
10. Program Institutions. Each Program Institution is a separately insured depository institution. ADM may include additional Program Institutions, delete Program Institutions, and determine the order of Program Institutions, at its discretion. ADM may deposit cash balances with any of the Program Institutions, in any order that ADM determines is appropriate.
The Deposit Accounts established by ADM, as agent on your behalf, constitute a direct obligation of the Program Institution(s) and are not directly or indirectly an obligation of ADM or the Custodian, to the extent such accounts are not held by the Custodian. In the event a Program Institution rejects additional deposits, withdraws from the Program, or is terminated, you hereby authorize and direct ADM, as your agent, to move your affected accounts to another Program Institution. In the event ADM is unable to make such an alternate arrangement, ADM will transfer your balance to your account at your primary financial institution and notify you of such action.
Under federal regulations, Program Institutions may reserve the right to require seven (7) days’ notice before permitting a transfer of funds out of certain deposit accounts. While none of the Program Institutions have indicated their intention to implement such a policy, any Program Institution may, at any time, choose to do so.
You can obtain publicly available financial information concerning any of the Program Institutions that are FDIC- insured banks at www.fdic.gov or by contacting the FDIC Public Information Center by mail at 3501 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington, Virginia 22226 or by phone at 877-275-3342. You can obtain publicly available financial information concerning any of the Program Institutions that are NCUA-insured credit unions at www.ncua.gov or by contacting the NCUA by mail at 1775 Duke Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314 or by phone at 800-755-1030.
Neither ADM nor its Custodian is responsible for any insured or uninsured portion of any deposits at any Program Institution or guarantees the financial condition of any Program Institution or the accuracy of any publicly available financial information concerning a Program Institution.
5
Ability to Exclude Program Institutions: You may exclude any Program Institution from serving as a depository for your funds in the Deposit Accounts by notifying ADM in writing. You are responsible for notifying ADM of any updates or changes to such exclusions, from time to time, and ADM shall have a reasonable period of time to act on such changes. The exclusion of certain Program Institutions may adversely affect earnings on your Deposit Accounts.
11. Interest. The interest rate you earn on your deposits in the AMMA Accounts may fluctuate daily based on market conditions. ADM will inform you of the net earnings and delivered rate on your funds on your periodic account statement. ADM may, at any time, in its discretion, change the interest rate structure used for payment of interest, so long as ADM continues to act in reasonable accordance with your stated objectives. Interest will accrue daily and will be posted to your account on a monthly basis (or quarterly, where applicable) based on a 30/365 day convention, except during the month of February in which interest will be determined using an actual/365 day convention.
Interest will accrue on Deposit Account balances from the day they are deposited with the Program Institution(s) through the business day preceding the date of withdrawal from the Program Institution(s) based on a Program Institution’s funds availability. Deposits to Program received after 2:00 pm Central Time will be credited to the Deposit Account the same day received however the Deposit will begin accruing interest the next business day. Deposits received by check to the Deposit Account may be subject to check holds based on a Program Institution’s funds availability. Due to timing of when funds are received into the Deposit Account and the transfer of the funds into Program Institutions, Deposits received during the last three business days of the month may not receive the same interest rate applied to other funds in the Deposit Account. If ADM provides a Client an account statement outside of the Client’s normal statement cycle for the convenience of the Client’s reconcilement or bookkeeping purposes (“Snapshot Statement”), the interest rate and interest amount indicated on the Snapshot Statement is provisional only subject to the final interest rate and interest amount listed on Client’s monthly account statement.
The daily balance method is used to calculate interest on the Deposit Accounts. The rate you earn on the Deposit Accounts may be higher or lower than the rates available to depositors making deposits with Program Institutions directly, through other types of accounts offered by ADM, or in comparable accounts with other depository institutions. You should compare the terms, rates of return, required minimum amounts, charges and other features of Deposit Accounts with other accounts and investment alternatives. In the event you withdraw the entire balance of your account or close your account before the end of the statement cycle, you forfeit all interest earned through the date of withdrawal. There is no minimum period that your money must remain on deposit. The minimum average monthly balance required to earn interest in your AMMA is $25,000.00.
With regard to interest earned on any CD Accounts, interest may be transferred to your AMMA at maturity. CD’s are subject to underlying Program Institution’s terms and conditions.
12. Account Statements. You will receive a monthly account statement. All activity with respect to your accounts under the Program, will appear on your monthly account statement. You will not receive a separate statement from the Program Institutions or the Custodian. You must notify ADM immediately of any discrepancies noted on your account statement and in no event later than five (5) days after the date of the account statement on which the problem or error first occurred. You will receive your monthly account statement from ADM via our secure client portal, accessible through our website at www.americandeposits.com. You will be required to use your online access ID and password in order for you to view, print or save e-statement account information. By signing this Agreement, you specifically consent to electronic delivery of your periodic account statements and any other disclosures relating to your account(s), either by forwarding such statements and disclosures or by providing a notification of availability and links to such statements or disclosures, to the e-mail address you have provided to ADM. You are responsible for notifying ADM of changes in the e-mail address to be used for such purposes.
6
13. Tax Reporting. The interest you receive from the Deposit Accounts is generally subject to state and federal income tax. An Internal Revenue Service Form 1099, a Tax Information Summary, will be sent to you each year showing the amount of interest income you have earned on the Deposit Accounts. ADM does not and will not offer tax advice and nothing herein, or otherwise conveyed by or between you and ADM, is intended to constitute tax advice or be used for tax planning purposes. You should consult a tax professional regarding the tax implications of any interest earned under the Program.
14. Compensation to ADM. ADM receives compensation of between 3.00% and 13.00% of the gross interest earned on all balances managed through the Program, including your funds, for managing the Program (the “Program Management Fee”). This is intended to compensate ADM for the provision of certain administrative, accounting, recordkeeping, compliance and other services in connection with the administration and maintenance of the Program. In addition, in certain circumstances, ADM will also receive compensation for providing advisory services in an amount between 0.00% and 3.00% on the balances held in the Program (“Deposit Advisory Fee”). It is important to note, that the charges listed in this paragraph will not reduce the principal balance of your account. In order to meet market conditions, ADM may choose to reduce or eliminate the foregoing charges for a particular statement cycle in order to provide a competitive rate of return.
Additional fees may apply by selecting extended deposit insurance, or other ancillary products. Such fees are disclosed at the time of account opening. Additional non-recurring transaction charges may apply to your AMMA account for expedited services or special requests. Please refer to ADM’s current fee schedule for additional information.
Client agrees to pay the fee(s) provided for herein to ADM for its services, and further agrees that ADM may setoff such amounts due from any funds held in Deposit Accounts in the event of nonpayment by Client. ADM agrees not to charge Client for any fees or charges related to processing costs, servicing costs or other fees customary with the Deposit Accounts held at underlying Program Institutions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall be responsible for any and all penalties, fines or fees assessed in connection with an early withdrawal from, or an early closure of, a CD Account.
15. Disclosures. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU WILL CALL ADM AT 414-961-6600. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED AND CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT BEFORE OPENING AN ACCOUNT WITH ADM.
16. Relationship with ADM. For the limited purpose of the Program, ADM is acting as your agent in administering the Program, including establishing and maintaining the Deposit Accounts, and managing deposits to and withdrawals from the Deposit Accounts. Your execution of this Agreement or your first deposit into the Deposit Accounts, whichever is earlier, will constitute your appointment of ADM as your agent in connection with the deposited funds. ADM determines the Program Institution(s) to deploy your funds to maximize the available Deposit Insurance. ADM and its Custodian(s) have established controls over the administration of your money.
17. Deposit Insurance. The FDIC and the NCUA protect you against the loss of your insured deposits in the event a Program Institution fails. Generally, deposits in Program Institutions are insured up to a maximum amount of $250,000 per tax ID per Program Institution. The $250,000 limit includes the principal and accrued interest in the Deposit Accounts, when aggregated with all other deposits held by you directly, or through others, in the same recognized legal capacity at the same Program Institution.
In the event that Deposit Insurance payments become necessary, payments of principal plus unpaid and accrued interest will be made to you. There is no specific time period during which the FDIC or NCUA must make insurance payments available. Furthermore, you may be required to provide certain documentation to the FDIC or NCUA before insurance payments are made.
7
If your deposits at a Program Institution consist of certain assets or ownership types, the deposits may qualify for additional “pass-through” insurance from the FDIC. The rules that govern these categories of account ownership are very detailed and very complex, and there are many nuances and exceptions. Current detailed information about FDIC coverage may be obtained by visiting the FDIC at https://www.fdic.gov. Current detailed information about NCUA share insurance coverage may be obtained by visiting http://www.mycreditunion.gov.
18. Additional Duties of ADM.
(a) ADM shall not be obligated to exercise any greater degree of care with respect to Client funds held hereunder than it gives its own similar property, and shall not be required to manage, deposit or invest any funds held hereunder except as contemplated in this Agreement.
(b) With the exception of ADM’s willful misconduct, in no event shall ADM be liable for loss of goodwill, or for special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or tort damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement, regardless of whether such claim arises in tort, contract, or otherwise. ADM's aggregate liability to Client and any third party for any and all claims or obligations relating to this Agreement shall be limited to the total compensation received by ADM from Client for the deposit resulting in such liability in the six (6) month period preceding the date the claim accrued. Client shall indemnify and hold harmless ADM from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, actions, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the holding of any Client funds and the operation of any Deposit Accounts. Without limiting the foregoing, ADM shall in no event be liable in connection with its deployment, management, administration or direction regarding any funds held by it hereunder in good faith, in accordance with the terms hereof, including any liability for any delays (not resulting from its willful misconduct) in the management or direction of the placement of such funds.
(c) ADM shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder by or on behalf of a government agency or court of law or equity without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of the service thereof. ADM may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature, received from Client or a representative of Client, believed by it to be genuine and may assume that the person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. ADM may conclusively presume that the undersigned representative of Client has full power and authority to instruct ADM on behalf of Client unless written notice to the contrary is delivered to ADM.
(d) ADM makes no representation as to the validity, value, genuineness or the collectability of any security or other document or instrument held by or delivered to it.
(e) Client authorizes and appoints ADM as Client’s agent for purposes of, among other things, maintaining Client’s records in connection with the Deposit Accounts in which Client’s funds are managed by ADM.
19. Limited Responsibility. This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of ADM with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against ADM. ADM shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among any other party hereto except this Agreement.
20. Other Terms.
(a) Limits on Money Market Accounts: Federal financial institution regulations limit the number of withdrawals from certain deposit accounts, such as money market accounts, to a total of six (6) during a monthly statement cycle and certain aggregation rules may apply to withdrawals from such accounts at the
8
Program Institutions. These limits on transfers do not affect the interest rate you earn or the amount of Deposit Insurance for which your accounts under the Program are eligible.
(b) Termination; Closing of Account: ADM may, at its sole discretion, and without any prior notice, terminate your participation in the Program. You may close your account with ADM at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that the closure of a CD Account prior to maturity may trigger the assessment of an early withdrawal penalty or fee, and you agree to be wholly responsible for payment of said penalty or fee. You further acknowledge that ADM has no duty to provide you with prior notification that the closure of a CD Account may result in the assessment of an early withdrawal penalty or fee.
(c) Ordinary Care: Any failure by ADM, and, except as limited by law, the Custodian, or any Program Institution to act or any delay by such party beyond time limits prescribed by law or permitted by this Agreement is excused if caused by your negligence, interruption of communication facilities, suspension of payments by another financial institution, war, emergency conditions, pandemic or other circumstances beyond the control of such party, provided such party exercised such diligence as such circumstances would normally require. You agree that any act or omission made by ADM, the Custodian, or any Program Institution in reliance upon or in accordance with any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Wisconsin, or any rule or regulation of any state or federal agency having jurisdiction over such party shall constitute ordinary care.
(d) Personal Information: You authorize ADM, a Custodian, the Program Institutions, and their service providers to share information concerning you and your accounts in connection with providing the services contemplated by this Agreement, and may disclose information about the Deposit Accounts to any affiliate of ADM and in accordance with applicable laws. You agree that ADM, the Custodian, the Program Institutions, and their service providers may obtain such information as may be necessary for legitimate business needs in connection with the operation of the Program.
(e) Modification; Amendment: ADM may modify this Agreement at any time. When there is any change to the information disclosed in this Agreement, to the extent legally required, you will receive at least thirty (30) days written notification in advance of such change.
(f) Tax Withholding: ADM may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at the prevailing rate on all taxable distributions payable to certain depositors who fail to provide their correct taxpayer identification number or to make required certifications, or who have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that they are subject to backup withholding.
(g) Legal Process: ADM, the Custodian, and the Program Institutions may comply with any writ of attachment, execution, garnishment, tax levy, restraining order, subpoena, warrant or other legal process, which such party reasonably and in good faith believes to be valid. ADM may, but is not required to, notify you of such process by telephone, electronically or in writing.

Exhibit A
WAIVER OF DEPOSIT INSURANCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
This Waiver of Deposit Insurance Acknowledgement is provided by Client in connection the Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by American Deposit Management, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary ADM Consulting, LLC (collectively, “ADM”) and the Client. Terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
By signing below, Client hereby elects to waive extended deposit insurance. As such, Client funds deposited with a Program Institution in an amount in excess of the applicable limit for FDIC or NCUA insurance coverage, are not guaranteed by the FDIC or NCUA, or through the pledge of identified and agreed upon collateral, or the issuance of a surety bond, or by any government agency. As a result, in the event of a financial failure of any such Program Institution, Client funds on deposit in a depository account with such Program Institution will be uninsured.
DAILY WITHDRAWAL ADDENDUM
This Daily Withdrawal Addendum is agreed to by the undersigned in connection with the Master Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into by American Deposit Management, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary ADM Consulting, LLC (collectively, “ADM”) and the Client. Terms not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
The following replaces and supersedes the section titled "Withdrawal" in the Agreement:
Withdrawals
By enrolling in the Program, you consent to have your money on deposit at the Program Institutions automatically withdrawn from the Program Institution accounts in the event you notify ADM of a request for withdrawal. ADM reserves the right to take reasonable measures to verify a withdrawal request (but is not under any duty to do so), and ADM will not be held liable for any delays caused by such verification measures.
You may make a request for withdrawal at any time, in any amount of available funds, from your Deposit Accounts. You acknowledge that CD Accounts are time deposits and, therefore, certain withdrawals from CD Accounts may result in the assessment of early withdrawal penalties or fees. You agree that you shall be wholly responsible for the payment of such penalties or fees.
Withdrawals must be requested from ADM and cannot be made directly from the Custodian or any of the Program Institutions in which funds are held. ADM will process, or cause to be processed, withdrawal requests on any business day, Monday through Friday (“Business Days”) for settlement to your designated account on the next business day. Requests for amounts of $3,000,000 or less received by ADM on or before 12:00 P.M. Central Time on a Business Day will settle to your designated account on the next Business Day specified by you in the withdrawal request. Withdrawal requests for amounts of $3,000,000 or less received by ADM after 12:00 P.M. Central Time on a Business Day will be settled to your designated account within 2 Business Days. Requests for amounts greater than $3,000,000 are considered special handling and require extra processing time; therefore, ADM will work with you on a mutually acceptable settlement date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, ADM is unable to process withdrawal requests or settle such requests to your designated account on holidays recognized by the Federal Reserve Board. If a withdrawal request is made or a withdrawal is scheduled to settle on a holiday recognized by the Federal Reserve Board, the transaction will be processed/settled as follows: (i) in the case of a withdrawal request, such request will be processed on the next available Business Day, and will be settled to your designated account in accordance with the settlement timelines set forth above, based on the non- holiday Business Day; or (ii) in the case of settling a withdrawal, the funds will be scheduled to settle to your account on the next Business Day following the holiday.
Your accounts at the Program Institutions do not include check writing privileges, ATM transactions, or debit card transactions. Withdrawals can be made by telephone or electronically using any procedures required by ADM. We reserve the right to verify any withdrawal request at any time.
All funds movements (whether involving deposits, transfers or withdrawals) will be subject to time-of-day and local business day limitations, including limitations imposed by time-zone differences. ADM will not be held liable for any delay, failure or error by any Program Institution in making payment on any withdrawal.

You can now require 2-factor authentication for all users in your account when they send transfers or create a Rho card.
To configure your 2FA settings, first make sure that your 2FA has been correctly set up in your account by following these instructions.
Once that is set up, you can go to your Administration Tab by clicking on your Business name in the upper left corner of your screen and selecting Organization Settings. From there, click on Security at the top in grey, which will bring you to this page:
From here you can also configure your payment settings to require approval for transactions created by your Team Members.
You can easily download a CSV detailing card transactions from your Rho dashboard.
First, navigate to the Cards > Transactions tab in your dashboard. Scroll down to the transactions table and then click the Export button on the right side of the screen.
This will export transactions across all your Rho cards.
To see transactions for a specific card, navigate to the Team Cards tab, select the card, and click Export CSV in the card details page.
In the pop-up on the right side of the screen, you can enter a specific date range and select which attributes you'd like to include in the CSV.
Once you have your filters set, click the Download CSV button.
Savings Account interest disbursements occur on the 5th business day of each month.
Interest is calculated based on the average monthly balance (calendar month). Each day's ending balance is what is used to calculate that average monthly balance. Interest will accrue daily and will be posted to your account on a monthly basis based on a 30/365 day convention. The minimum average monthly balance in your Savings Account required to earn interest is $25,000.00.
Savings Account statements will be released by the end of the 5th business day of each month.
If you would like to view your statements, you can follow this article.
To print a receipt or confirmation page of a transaction you've created:
- Start by clicking on the Banking Tab from the toolbar on the left side of the screen and the All Accounts page will display.
- From there, select the transaction you would like to print under the All Recent Activity page. (Note, by clicking "View All", you can view more transactions than what is displayed on the main page. By clicking on the top right-hand buttons you can view/sort transactions by Date, User, Budget, or Status or search for a specific transaction).
- When you click on the transaction, a window to the right of your screen will open, displaying transaction details.
- You will see the Download button in the top left corner.
- Selecting this button will prompt a PDF download of your transaction confirmation. Once you save it to your computer you can email it to your recipient, or file it for later viewing.
By linking your Rho account to an external business bank account, you can transfer money between them. Before you begin, please ensure the following:
- You are linking a business bank account, not a personal account, to your Rho account.
- The entity name on the account you are linking matches the entity name on your Rho account exactly.
To link an account, access the External Bank Accounts tab of the Organization Settings section.
Scroll down to the correct section on the page and click Instant Connect. Then click the Okay button to proceed.
From the Select Your Institution prompt, click the icon associated with your bank or enter the name of your bank in the Search field and select it.
The Enter your credentials or a Login page for the bank displays. Enter the username and password associated with the external account and click Submit. After you validate the transaction via two-step authentication, when configured, the external account is linked to your Rho account, and is listed in the Linked Accounts section.
Note: Incoming linked account transfers are limited to $150,000 per day. Outgoing transfers by default are limited to $150,000 per day, though larger amounts can be accommodated by speaking to our team. Linked-account transfers can take between 2 to 5 business days to settle.
Note: If you have multiple checking accounts under one Business, you will not be able to directly link a "sub-account" to an external account. All external accounts are linked to the Rho account as a whole (subs included). However, when going to "deposit funds" in your Banking tab using our linked account feature, you can choose which sub-account to send funds to and from which linked external account the funds will originate.
You are able to approve scheduled transactions created by your Team Members. With Rho, you can create Payment Settings for which Team Members can authorize payments, how many Team Member needs to approve a transaction, and transaction amounts that require approval.
You can configure your approval policy in the Organization Settings section.
From here, you can select an Approval Threshold (any transaction initiated over the entered amount will require approval). You can then select the number of users who will need to approve a transfer prior to it being sent (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and which users are designated as "Approvers". For example, you can require 1 user to approve all transactions over $50, and it can be 1 of the 3 users that you designated as "approvers".
Once the transactions are initiated to be released, the Designated Approvers will receive emails to approve each transaction prior to the release of funds.
For more information about which roles have the ability to create transactions, see Roles & Permissions.
From the Organizational Settings page, you can view the account information, such as company and business details and manage your linked bank accounts and payment settings. From the Rho application, click on your Business Name in the upper left corner of your screen and select Organizational Settings

Getting started
To send an international wire in USD or another currency using Rho, first ensure you have set up the vendor, including their international payment method. You can check this by visiting the Vendor tab.
Not sure if your vendor’s location is supported? You can find out by reviewing the countries we support sending funds to here.
International USD Wire Fees at Rho
While Rho does not charge additional fees for international wires sent in USD, such transfers can be subject to fees set by associated banks (recipient, correspondent, or intermediary banks) and/or the SWIFT network.
To provide you with greater visibility, Rho shows you the FX fee total upfront when initiating your payment. To access this information, click the > arrow icon next to Total Fees.
You can choose to absorb all fees that are incurred by recipient, correspondent, or intermediary banks in addition to any SWIFT network charges (for a flat rate of $15), by deducting them from your bank account. To cover all fees on the transfer, simply click the toggle to “on” (next to “Cover all recipient delivery fees”).
Alternatively you can choose to have your recipient pay these fees by deducting them from the total wire amount. To do so, ensure the toggle next to “Cover all recipient delivery fees” is turned off.
Please note that these fee totals are only an estimate. Rho may not have visibility to additional fees incurred by recipient, intermediary or correspondent banks’ fees while the funds are in transit.
FX Transfer Rate at Rho
Rho offers a market-leading 1% FX rate for foreign currency conversion and transmission (sending USD to another currency).
Making a payment
To send funds internationally to a vendor, select the Make A Payment button from your Rho Banking Tab.
From the Send Money page, click the International tab and then select either Internationally in USD or Internationally in a foreign currency depending on your Vendor’s preference.
Certain currencies including IDR, PHP, INR, and MYR are processed via local payments rails, not the SWIFT network. This means that once the funds leave Rho, we have limited visibility on the payment and cannot provide tracking information.
Next, follow the prompts to select the Rho account you would like to send funds from, the Vendor profile, and their recipient account:
- Click the From Account drop-down list and select the Rho account that the money is transferred from.
- Click the To Vendor drop-down list and select the desired Vendor from the drop-down list.
- Note: Only vendors with an international bank account are listed in the drop-down list. The international bank account(s) associated with the vendor are displayed. Select the desired account and click Continue.
Specify the value in US Dollars in the You Send or the Vendor Gets field, and the Rho application will convert the value to include fees and the conversion rate if non-USD.
You can expand the Total Fees section by clicking on the > arrow to view a more detailed breakdown of your transaction. For more information on how international wire fees and currency conversion rates are calculated please refer to International Wires Fees (USD or Foreign Currencies).
Additionally, here you can choose to absorb all delivery fees that are incurred or you can choose to have your recipient pay these fees by deducting them from the total wire amount. To do so, either turn on (or leave off) the toggle next to Cover all recipient delivery fees.
Once you have decided on the fee structure for your transfer, you will see those choices reflected in the Total amount we send field. At any time during the payment initiation process, you can view the Recipient Gets field to understand the amount estimated to be received by your vendor (not including delivery fees if you are not covering those fees).
Click Continue. The values are transferred to the Transfer Details page.
Specify the transfer information, and then click Create:

When will the transaction begin processing?
By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred immediately (Now). To specify a later date, click Later and then click the calendar field to specify the desired date. All immediate transfers are displayed in your Banking Tab, and all scheduled transfers are displayed on the Scheduled Transfers page, which you can view in your Banking Tab.
If you schedule a recurring transfer using the How often? field, the Rho application bases the transfer on the date specified in the Send Date field. For example, if you schedule a monthly transfer (Every Month) with a schedule date of 01/01/2023, then the first recurring transfer will occur on 02/01/2023.
Confirm Transfer Details
After you create the transfer a confirmation page will be displayed. Review the transfer information, and then click the Confirm Payment button.
Please review international wire restrictions to ensure your wire will not be returned or fail.
When you click the button, Rho sends a confirmation code using the two-factor authentication method that is specified in your Account Settings page.
From the verification page, enter the code sent to your account and click Continue.
Note: To choose another method to verify the transfer, click the Use another method button and select another verification method (text message, phone call, or email).
Tip for sending Wires:
- To ensure your wire transactions display your preferred business name, we suggest providing details in the memo/note section to include information "Sent from [Insert Business Name Here]."
- Please note that if a payment is scheduled in advance, the currency conversion rate may change from the time it is initiated to the time the payment is sent out.
- Please review international wire restrictions to ensure your wire will not be returned or failed. Additionally, please review which countries we support sending funds to: Which countries can I send an international wire transfer to? To ensure your vendor’s location is supported.
The conversion rates displayed in this article are for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect current or guaranteed exchange rates.

Example statement
Rho allows you to effortlessly move money from any linked external account right into your Rho checking account. You can choose between an instant transfer or schedule one for a later time, as well as set the transfers to be recurring transactions. Rho processes these transactions as ACH transfers, keeping your financial activities swift and seamless.
Settlement Time: Linked Account transfers can take 3-5 business days to settle.
For more information about linking an external account, see How to connect to an external bank account.
To transfer funds, click the Banking icon from the Rho toolbar, then select the desired account on the left side of the page. Click the Move Funds button in the upper-right corner of the screen, choose the Deposit option, and click on Use Linked Accounts.
Specify the deposit information, and then click Continue.
How much would you like to transfer?

Transfer From
Click the drop-down list to select the linked account that the money is transferred from.
Transfer To
Click the drop-down list to select the Rho account that the money will be deposited into.
How often?
By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred only once (One Time Only). To specify a recurring transfer, click the drop-down list and select the desired frequency:
- One Time Only (default)
- Every day
- Every week
- Every month

Note: If you schedule a recurring transfer using the How often? field, Rho bases the transfer on the date specified in the When should it go through? field. For example, if you schedule a monthly transfer (Every Month) with a scheduled date of 01/01/2024, then the first recurring transfer will occur on 02/01/2024.
Confirm Transfer Details
A confirmation page displays, click Confirm Transfer if the information is correct.
Note: If you have multiple checking accounts under one Business, you will not be able to directly link a "sub-account" to an external account. All external accounts are linked to the Rho account as a whole (subs included). However, when going to "deposit funds" in your Banking tab using our linked account feature, you can choose which sub-account to send funds to, and from which linked external account the funds will originate.
The Rho application allows you to create budgets to help you manage your organization’s expenses.
For example, let’s say you wanted to set a budget of $100,000 for Advertising expenditures. In Rho, you can create a budget called Advertising and specify the Budget Amount as $100,000.
Once the budget is created, you can ensure that every time you spend money on Advertising that it is taken out of the appropriate budget. Then from the Budget Reporting page, you can view all of the Advertising expenditures for the month, quarter, and fiscal year.
Once a budget is created you can:
- Assign a Rho Card to a budget, so that all transactions using that card are assigned to the budget.
- Associate existing transactions to a budget to ensure correct management of your finances.
- Specify the appropriate budget to a financial transfer.
Additionally, you can assign specific users to a specific budget.
Which team members can see these budgets?
Any employee you add. To add a team member to a Budget in order to give them the ability to tag their transactions to that Budget you can follow these easy steps!
The amount of cash in my Rho account changes. Do these budgets need to be fully funded?
No. Creating department budgets is just like creating a spending limit. For example, you can set a spending limit of $25,000 for a budget. That amount will be the limit whether the account has a $10,000 balance or a $100,000 balance. However, unlike a card limit, you can go over a Budget limit, as noted earlier these are soft limits, just for tracking, not meant to inhibit spending.

From the Banking page, you can send money from one Rho account to another within one entity's account. This includes Treasury to Checking account transfers and checking-to-secondary checking account transfers.
We do not offer the option to transfer funds from one company's Rho account to another company's account at Rho, even if both companies are owned by the same user. Internal Transfers are meant for transfers with one company's account. If you would like to send a transfer from Company A to Company B, you can create a payee profile for Company B under the Company A account, set up a Domestic Wire Payment Type using Company B's domestic wire instructions, and send a domestic wire. Please note that while checking to checking transfers under the same business settle within an hour of initiating, business to business internal transfers take 25 hours to settle.
You can initiate a transfer immediately or schedule it for at a later time, as well as schedule the transfer to be a recurring transaction. Settlement times for Treasury Account transfers are 1-3 business days.
Click the Banking tab from the Rho toolbar to open the Banking Dashboard. Click Internal Transfer:
Note: Please make sure you are not selecting a specific account on the left side of the page.

Confirm Transfer Details
After you create the transfer a confirmation page displays. Review the transfer information, and then click the Confirm Transfer button.
Transfers between checking accounts under the same business should settle within 1 hour of the transfer being sent. Transfers between checking accounts under separate businesses at Rho will take 25 hours to settle. Transfers in or out of Treasury Accounts typically take 1-2 business days to settle.
You can deposit a check into your account just as you would with any other bank. Make sure that you have endorsed the check by signing your name on the back.

All checks are deposited via photo check deposit, by capturing an image of both the front and back of the check and uploading it to the Rho application. Once captured, Rho validates the check and transfers the money into the specified account. Checks settle in 3 business days after the check is uploaded, subject to risk-based monitoring (generally up to 6-7 business days).
To deposit a check via Remote Deposit Capture, you must properly endorse it in one of two ways:
Printed/live copy checks must be endorsed with a wet signature on the back and must state “for mobile deposit only.”
Digital copy checks must be typed/written/stamped on the back with the following information:
- "Pay to the order of Webster Bank N.A.”
- “For Mobile Deposit Only”
- Your company name ([company name here])
- Rho routing number (021913655)
- Last 4 digits of your checking account number
- Current date (today is [date])
To ensure there are no delays depositing funds, all check images should be:
- High Resolution
- Horizontally Oriented
- Against a dark, contrasting background
- Showing all 4 corners of check
Check deposits in excess of $15,000.00 in one business day may be subject to additional screening and delays in settlement.

An open dialog window displays, allowing you to navigate to the location where the check image is stored, so you can select it. Once selected, the image is uploaded to the Rho application.
2. Take a Picture
To activate the default camera for your computer and capture the image of the check, click the Take a Picture button.
Center the check in the window, and click the Red button to capture the check image. If the image is accurate and visible, click Done. The image is uploaded to the Rho application.
Note: If you're having issues uploading a check please contact us at clientservice@rho.co and someone will assist you.

From the Card Settings window change the Card Limit to the desired value. Click Save Changes when you are finished.
You can also control spend across multiple Rho Cards using User Limits. Learn more here.
When you enter "0" as the card limit, it implies that the card has no spending limit. You will see a warning message in the card limit modal during both the card creation and card settings processes, alerting you that setting the limit to "0" effectively removes any spending cap on the card.
Admin, Employee, and Budget Owner default user groups as well as any custom user groups that have the Manage Team Card Permissions permission toggled On have the ability to assign Permitted Spending Categories for an existing Rho Card.

In the Card Settings pop-up, expand the Advanced Controls section.
Scroll to the Merchant Controls section, toggle to On and then select the Categories tab. In the Permitted Spending Categories field, you can restrict card transactions to only the categories selected from the drop-down list.
For example, you can select Airlines, Air Carriers and Airports, Flying Fields, if you want the card to only be used for air travel expenses.
Click Save Changes at the bottom of the form when you have finished editing the settings.
You can lock or unlock your Rho Card (or your employees' cards) from the Cards tab within the Rho dashboard.
To lock a card, first navigate to the Team Cards sub-tab and select the desired card. In the Card expansion page, click the Actions button, then select Lock Card from the dropdown menu.
A confirmation window will display asking you to confirm your change. Click the Yes, Lock Card button to finish.
Once a card has been locked, it will be inactivated and displayed in the Inactive Cards section of the My Cards page.

No, domestic and international wires cannot be sent to vendors with PO Box addresses. We suggest using a different address for the business or sending funds via ACH or check.
BSA (The Bank Secrecy Act) regulations require anyone sending a wire through their bank to provide a physical address for a beneficiary. It provides banks with one more piece of information in order to detect suspicious activity.

Asking your employees to attach a receipt to purchases is a great way to stay organized. You can upload receipts to card and banking transactions whether they are existing transactions or new pending transfers.
To attach receipts on-the-go without logging into Rho, you can enable text and email receipt uploads. For more information about this feature, please see How to attach receipts to card transactions.
How to upload invoices or receipts for any transaction via the Rho desktop app:
To attach a receipt to an existing transaction in the Rho desktop app, locate and select the transaction from your Banking or Cards Tab. By selecting the line item, you will open the Transaction Details window to the right side of your screen.
At the top of that window, there is a section to upload a receipt or invoice. Simply drag and drop your file or click to select a file from your computer!
Note: Rho only allows you to upload your receipts as PDF, JPG, and PNG files.
You can see which transactions have receipts attached in the Banking or Cards pages. All transactions with a receipt attached (whether submitted by text, email, or desktop) will have a paperclip icon to the left of the transaction amount.
Note: If you have a Quickbooks integration, and you use Rho’s receipt capture feature, those receipt attachments will transfer over into your Quickbooks account.
You can also attach receipts via the following:
- Via email
- Via SMS
- Via the Rho App in the Cards tab
User limits are a recurring monthly limit assigned to a user. This limits how much the user can spend across their Rho Cards. This can be adjusted at any time. If not enabled, the user’s total spending ability will be determined by limits assigned to their Rho Cards.
User limits can be assigned and edited in the User Management tab, as well as from the card creation & editing workflows.
How to set a User Limit
To set a monthly User Limit for an existing user:
- Navigate to User Management
- Select the user
- Click Edit
- Add or change User Limit
You will also have the ability to set a User Limit when creating a new user.
Due to federal regulations, you are limited to six (6) outbound transactions (transfers) from your Savings Account per calendar month, including to your other Rho accounts. However, there is no limit to the number of inbound transactions.
Typically, Rho clients often maintain a balance in their Rho Checking Account for their monthly expenditures, and they deposit additional funds into their Savings Account to take advantage of the higher levels of FDIC insurance.
If you require an emergency transfer that exceeds this limit, please contact Rho Client Service via in-app chat or at ClientService@rho.co.
Funds transferred from your Savings Account can take 1-2 business days to settle.
As transfers to/from Rho Savings Accounts are facilitated by our banking partner, American Deposit Management, we are unfortunately unable to expedite their settlement time. We always recommend allotting 2 business days for Savings transfers if those funds are needed to satisfy vendor payments.
Funds transferred from your Rho Checking Account to your Savings Account typically settle the same business day, if processed before the cutoff time of 1:00 PM ET.

- International Wire Instructions (International wires should arrive between 1-5 business days. Please let the Rho Client Service team know if you are expecting to receive international wires.)
- ACH Transfer Instructions (Standard ACH payments take 1-3 business days to settle. An ACH pull can take 2-3 business days, and a push can take 1-3 business days. Here is more information on ACH push vs. pull transactions.)
- Void Check Template (for proof of account)
You may also choose the "Deposit Funds" in the Move Funds dropdown once you have selected an account, and from there, you can:
- Deposit a check: Check deposits take 2-3 business days, subject to risk-based monitoring (generally up to 6-7 business days), to clear. Deposits in excess of $15,000.00 in one business day may be subject to additional screening and delays in settlement. For more information, please visit our guide on How to Deposit a Check.
- Link an external bank account: Linked Account transfers can take up to 5 business days to settle. Need help linking your account? We’ve got a handy guide on How to Link an External Checking Account.
If you are experiencing issues with expected payments, please know that Rho is unlikely to be able to track incoming payments. We recommend contacting the sending bank directly.
However, we're happy to try to help with any issues you may have. Here is some information on Tracing Incoming Funds.
Rho uses two-factor authentication every time you log in, send a transaction or create a new Rho card! Please make sure to properly configure your 2FA preferences. Here's how to set it up:
- Firstly, please make sure the phone number associated to your account is accurate. To view the number on your account, Click on your name in the top right corner of your screen and select User Settings from the dropdown menu.
- (Please note if you need to change the phone number, on your account please email the Rho team at clientservice@rho.co):
- Once your phone number is accurate, you can proceed with choosing your Two Factor Authentication Settings by scrolling down on the page to that section. You can use:
- Google Authenticator (download from your App Store on your mobile device)
- Authy Authentication (download from your App Store on your mobile device)
- SMS (this method will text an authentication code to your cell phone) - This is the least secure method of 2 FA - we encourage all users to enable 2 FA with either Google or Authy applications.
NOTES: We highly recommend downloading Google Authenticator or Authy Authentication applications!
Lastly, enable 2FA for Sending Transactions & Creating Cards across all users! You can find detailed instructions for how to enable these functions here. (Note: these settings exist in your Administration Tab. The Administration Tab can be found by clicking on your Business Name seen in the upper left corner of your screen, and selecting Organization Settings from that dropdown menu. From there, 2FA for card creation and transactions can be found under the Security Tab (Click on the work Security at the top of that page).

The following instructions describe how to set up a direct integration between your Rho Account and your existing QuickBooks Online account. If you're interested in connecting Rho transactions via the QuickBooks Bank Feed, see instructions here.
Note: this integration is only compatible with QuickBooks Online. For QuickBooks Desktop, you can download a CSV of transactions from your Rho account via these steps and upload them to QB Desktop).
- Once you are signed into the Rho platform, click Integrations in the navigation bar.
- Click the QuickBooks icon.
- Follow the login instructions to connect to your QuickBooks account.
- When finished, click Accounting in the navigation bar.
- Select the transactions you want to sync.
- Click the Sync button.
When you connect QuickBooks to Rho, a new account is added to your CHART OF ACCOUNTS tab named RHO [CheckingAcct#], where [CheckingAcct#] is the 10-digit account number associated with the linked Rho account. This is your primary account and is required for automatic account reconciliation. You can rename this account, but integration between your Rho account and Quickbooks will not work if the account is deleted.
What information can I view in the Accounting Tab?
Once you have connected QuickBooks to Rho, use the Accounting Tab in the Rho platform to manage mapping rules, view transactions, and make necessary changes.
The Accounting Tab includes two subsections – “Dashboard” and “Mapping Rules.” Learn more about what you can view in the Dashboard here and about what you see in the Mapping Rules here.
Important Integration Notes
Syncing with your Quickbooks account is a manual process. Each time you want to reconcile your Rho Account in QuickBooks, you must click the Sync Quickbooks button.
Connecting External Bank Accounts
Rho partners with Plaid and Finicity to allow you to securely connect an external bank account. If your bank supports this functionality, linking a business checking account will allow you to initiate a linked-account transfer to fund your Rho account.
Before you begin, please ensure you are linking your business bank account, not a personal account, to your Rho account.
- Click your Business in the top left of your Rho dashboard, then click Organization Settings.
- Click External Bank Accounts in the left navigation, then click Instant Connect.
- Follow the instructions to access your external financial institution and connect.
Once connected, you can fund your Rho account and set up automatic card payments from your linked account.
Troubleshooting
Below are some of the errors you may encounter when connecting to your external bank account.
Incorrect Credentials
The username and password you used to log into your external bank account were not accepted by your bank. Ensure you are using the same username and password you normally use to login to your third party bank.
If there were multiple institutional selections available for your bank (e.g. SVB Go vs SVB Online Banking), please ensure you selected the correct institution. If you are logging into the incorrect institution you will receive an “Incorrect Credentials” error even if your username and password are correct.
Additionally, some banks use a special "third party application password" or "allow third party access" setting for additional security. In this case, you will need to ensure you use this special password instead of the password you use to log into your financial institution directly on their website.
Please reach out to Rho Client Service if you’ve verified your username and password but the error persists.
Incorrect Institution
Some institutions have different websites for their business and personal accounts. Always make sure you are choosing the institution you use for business banking.
If you don’t see your bank when you attempt to connect, try the second connection provider (Rho works with both Plaid and Finicity) or reach out to Rho Client Service.
Temporary Connection Issue
There may be temporary connection issues with our providers (Plaid and Finicity). Please wait a few minutes and try again.
Authentication or Permission Issue
These types of issues might arise when there is an authentication or permission problem with your account or user credentials which prevents a connection.
Common causes:
- An incorrect answer to a security question presented by your institution
- Your Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device is inactive
- Your institution failed to send the one-time code for MFA authentication
- Your institution requires special security configuration before third party account connections can be established
- Your account is not fully set up at your institution
- Your institution is blocking access due to an administrative task that requires completion
- You or another user for your bank account did not agree to share, or has revoked, access to the data required for connection
- Your user credentials or permissions do not allow you to connect your account in external platforms
Verify your institution account settings to ensure third-party providers are able to connect, and that you have active access to your account. Additionally, you may need to verify with your bank account admin to ensure you have sufficient credentials to create a connection. Alternatively, try connecting to a different account and institution. If the issue persists, try with a different connection provider (we support Plaid and Finicity) or submit a support ticket.
Recurring transfers can be used to pay bills and make payments.
Unfortunately, you cannot edit a recurring transfer. If you wish to make changes, you will need to cancel the current one and create an entirely new recurring transfer.
Recurring transfers are displayed in the Scheduled Payments section of the Banking Tab:
The Scheduled Payments tab lists all future Rho transfers in tabular format. The Recurring column provides information on whether a transfer is recurring or not, and what the frequency is.
If you have a scheduled recurring payment that you would like to cancel before the next upcoming payment is released, you can do so easily.
From your Rho Banking tab, select the green "View All" button under Scheduled Payments.
(Note, this option will not appear if you have already selected a specific bank account under the All Accounts section. If you have selected a specific account, simply hit the back button or re-click the Banking Tab to be redirected to the main page).
Once on the Scheduled Payments tab, you should be able to locate the next upcoming payment of that recurring transfer, and simply click the red cancel button on the right side of the Scheduled Payment line item.
You can then create a brand new one in your Make A Payment option with your preferred changes.

If the funds you’re awaiting haven't made it to the account yet, here's what to do:
Double-check that the sender used the correct fund-receiving instructions. You'll find these on your All Accounts Tab, on the right side under "View Documents," or access them from the Account Details in the upper-right corner once you select the desired Account from the left-hand toolbar.
If the instructions were followed correctly, ask the sender for some helpful information to help us investigate:
- For ACH transactions, request the ACH TRACE number (typically a 15-digit number). The sender's bank can provide this. We will also need the exact sender’s name, amount sent, and date sent.
- For domestic wire transactions, you'll need federal reference numbers (IMAD and OMAD details) from the sender. Again, we need the sender's name, amount, and date.
- For international wires, ask for the MT103 Data or SWIFT confirmation. Remember to acquire the sender's info, the amount sent, and the date.
Need more information on when to expect incoming payments? We've got a handy guide on Expected Settlement Times. If you have any additional questions, reach out to our support team at clientservice@rho.co.
If you suspect someone is using your card, please contact us as soon as possible.

Admins and Account Owners are now able to turn on Google Single Sign-On (SSO) for their organization. When Google SSO is enabled, users within your email domain can log into Rho using their Google accounts, rather than a password.
Enable SSO for your Organization
To enable SSO, in your Rho dashboard, navigate to Organization Settings by clicking the V next to your business name in the top left corner.
Once in Organization Settings, scroll down to the Single Sign-On section and click the black Setup Google SSO button.
In the pop-up window, click Continue to proceed with set-up and log-in to your Google account.

Is Treasury a bank account?
No, Treasury is not a bank account. With Treasury, you can invest your business’s idle cash in government-backed treasury bills.
Where is my money custodied with Treasury?
Your funds are custodied in your company’s name at our broker-dealer partner, Apex Clearing Corp.(post-July 2024), or Interactive Brokers LLC (pre-July 2024).
Are my assets pooled with other clients’? Do you invest in ETFs or Money Market funds?
No. Securities are held directly in your business’s name in your Treasury account and are not pooled with those of other clients (e.g., in ETFs or Money Market Funds). With Treasury, you know exactly what assets you own, and how much you own of each type.
Who has rights to move funds from my Treasury account?
Funds can only be transferred to and from your Rho Checking account by individuals to whom you have authorized access.
What protection do I have on my Treasury assets?
Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) insurance protects against the loss of cash and securities (e.g., stocks and bonds) held at a SIPC-member brokerage firm, such as Apex Clearing Corp, a broker-dealer. The SIPC protection limit is $500,000, which includes a $250,000 limit for cash. SIPC does not protect against the decline in value of your securities. In the event of any loss of the assets in your brokerage accounts, any applicable insurance policy or policies may not cover all or any portion of such losses, and there is no guarantee that you will receive all or any portion of your invested principal or any returns on your invested principal.
What securities do I hold in my Treasury account?
The Securities you hold will generally be restricted to U.S. treasury bills.
What happens when I need to withdraw funds from my Rho Treasury account?
You can withdraw your funds and sell your treasury bills at any time and you should be able to access the funds within 2-3 business days. If you sell your treasury bills, you should be able to access the funds within 2-3 business days. Treasury bills sold before maturity are sold at market prices, which can fluctuate. That means that any treasury bills sold before maturity may lose value compared to your principal investment amount due to factors including, but not limited to, fluctuations in interest rates.
Can I get my accountant set up with Treasury?
Absolutely, you can set your accountant up with a read-only Treasury account. They will be able to access your monthly statements and the other information they need.
Can I Close my Account?
You can close your Treasury account at any time by contacting Rho. Keep in mind that if you close your account and sell your treasury bills before maturity, they’re sold at market price, which fluctuates. That means they may lose value compared to your principal investment amount. Once we have your request, it should take 2-3 business days to sell your treasury bills and close your Treasury account.

If a company enables reimbursements, users can submit out-of-pocket expenses for reimbursement in Rho.
To enable reimbursements, a Rho administrator or account owner can go to Expenses Settings in the Rho dashboard, turn on the feature, and choose which Rho accounts they want to pay out reimbursements from.
See below for a video overview of the Accounting Dashboard:
In the Accounting Dashboard, you can:
- Review sync status of all transactions across Banking, Cards, Accounts Payable, and Reimbursements
- Filter specific transactions by sync status or missing attributes
- Review sync errors
- Search for specific transactions
To export a CSV of your Company or Personal Expenses, navigate to the desired tab in Expenses, and click Export CSV.
Select your desired date range and attributes, and click Download.
Note: Split transactions display as separate line items. For example, if you download a CSV for expenses that have split transactions, the transaction in question will show on two separate rows but will have the same transaction ID.
If you need to share your Rho Virtual Card details with someone, there’s a secure way to do so within the Rho platform.
Sharing your card details through this secure channel reduces the risk of your card information getting compromised.
In the My Cards tab, select the card you wish to share.
Click Actions, then Share Card Details.
Enter your recipient email & note, then click Send. The recipient will receive an email with a secure link to the card details.
The recipient will only be able to access the card details once, and the link will automatically expire after 72 hours if it hasn’t been opened.
See below for an example email of what the recipient will receive:
Rho enables users to configure SMS, email, and mobile notifications related to outstanding expenses.
To modify your notification preferences, click on your name in the top right corner of the Rho dashboard, then click User Settings.
Click Notifications and scroll to the Expenses section.
From here, you can toggle on and off these notifications at any time.
Note: To receive mobile push notifications, you must download the Rho App and enable push notifications via your phone settings. If enabled, you can then toggle on/off available mobile notifications in the Rho desktop (you cannot turn notifications on/off via the Rho App).
You can also set notifications for specific people when you define a rule, by adding users directly in the rule configuration in Payment Settings.
If you have enabled Expenses in Rho, you can set up rules that will automatically process all Rho Card transactions and reimbursements submitted to Rho. Note that more than one rule can be applied to a single charge, if it falls under its parameters.
You can also configure separate policies for Expenses and Reimbursements.
To help set up these rules, you can take advantage of Suggested Rules in the platform. Admins can access these rules in the Policies tab in Rho Expenses.
These can serve as a starting point, and can be edited and adapted to meet your company’s needs. For example, you can use the first suggested rule to require receipts and reasons for all transactions over $25 instead of $10 by clicking the + button and adjusting the condition and rule name to $25.
You can integrate Rho with your accounting software to automate the reconciliation process and eliminate manual data entry.

Rho’s expense management tool enables all members of your organization to track spend, get approvals, and review unexpected or out-of-policy spend. For a high-level overview of the expenses tab and its functionality, please see Understanding the Expenses Tab.
The Expenses view (Expenses > Company) is targeted towards what’s most important for you to know, based on your role. If you’re an approver, you’ll see expenses that require your immediate action. If you disburse, you’ll see a list of reimbursements ready to be paid out.
Customizing Your View
The headers at the top of the Expenses tab highlight a summary of categories that may need your attention, summarizing them by Amount. To auto-show this view, click on the filter icon next to the amount.
The default view is set to the last 60 days, but a new date range can be set by navigating to Filter > Date.
To personalize your view, click View on the top header.
Here, you’ll be able to:
- Drag and drop columns to rearrange their order in the table
- Select and deselect values, choosing whether they appear in the table
Click a bubble to select or deselect. Bolded values indicate selected values, while those in gray indicate ones the user has chosen to hide.
Note: Some values are faded, and represent mandatory information on Expenses.
- Resize columns by clicking on the outer edges of a column and dragging them in the direction you desire
Search and Filter for Expenses
To help quickly locate specific Expenses, leverage the new filter system or simply search for an expense by name.
Click on a column name to view options for arranging the data

Cashback from Rho is not considered taxable and we do not issue 1099s for cash back. We, of course, encourage our clients to consult their own tax adviser if they have any questions or concerns.
In the event that you have made an error on an outgoing payment (for example, sent funds to the wrong vendor or initiated a transfer for the wrong amount), you have a 30-minute window to cancel the transfer before it is released.
Domestic Wires: Unfortunately Rho does not have the ability to cancel a domestic wire transfer once it enters "Pending" status. Additionally, domestic wires are typically unable to be reversed or recalled. Please exerise caution when initiating domestic wires to vendors by ensuring all details are correct.
International Wires: Cancelations on International Wires can attempted. Cancelations are most effective if the request comes within the same business day the funds are initiated. The more time passes, the cancelation becomes less likley to be successful. Additionally, wires are typically unable to be reversed or recalled, but Rho is happy to attempt to do so. If you wish to attempt a recall, please reach out to clientservice@rho.co.
ACH: While ACHs transfers are unable to be canceled once in Pending status, they can generally be reversed/recalled once they settle, within 2 business days. If you wish to recall an ACH, please reach out to clientservice@rho.co.
Check: Printed checks can be canceled up until a recipient deposits the check and the funds are cleared by the recipient bank. A check reversal can be attempted post-deposit as well, but it is not guaranteed. To request a reversal, please reach out to clientservice@rho.co. Please note, Rho is always happy to request a bank transfer recall, reversal or dispute, however, these actions depend on the cooperation of the recipient bank and may or may not be honored.
Note that outgoing printed checks can be voided until a recipient deposits the funds, however, past the 30-minute cancelation window, the recipient may still receive the voided physical check in the mail.
Any transaction that displays a ‘settled’ status in your account can no longer be canceled. In the event you would like to attempt a transaction reversal, return, or dispute, please reach out to our Rho Client Service Team. Our team can always attempt one of these actions, but they are not guaranteed to be successful. Recalls for ACH transfers are free, recalls for wires may incur a small fee and, if successful, could take up to 4 weeks to be returned.
To cancel a transfer, please reach out to our Client Service team by sending an email to clientservice@rho.co, reaching out to the Live Chat Support on our website, or giving us a call at +1 (855) 743-8746.

All Rho Card transactions, even those that have been auto-approved as configured in your approvals settings, are shown in the Company and Personal Expenses tabs.
Understanding the Transactions Table
The default view on the Expenses tab is grouped by approval statuses, presenting a view that shows all expenses that require your approval in real-time. This makes it easy to understand what requires your attention, and what action needs to be taken.
To drill down to a specific expense, use groups, filters, or search.
What do the different approval statuses mean?
- Complete: Expense has been approved
- Auto-Complete: Expense has been approved automatically, per the organization’s approval policy
- Needs My Approval: Expense requires approval from you
- Needs Approval: Expense requires one or more approvals, from other users in the organization
- Incomplete: Expense is missing one or more pieces of information, per the organization’s submission policy
- Out-Of-Policy: Expense is determined Out-Of-Policy per the organization’s submission policy
- Rejected: Expense has been rejected by an approver
To see more details, like whether an expense was manually or automatically approved, or what information is missing from an expense, or click on the expense to see full details.
How to approve a transaction
All transactions that aren’t auto-approved require an approver to manually review and approve or reject the transaction.
Expenses which require your immediate approval will appear by default, under Needs Approval.
To approve a singular expense, hit the checkbox and click Approve. If you want to view more attributes, you can click anywhere on the expense to see more details, or you can simply scroll to the right to view more columns.
Note: The columns are adjustable by clicking on View.
How to reject a transaction
To reject a transaction, follow the same steps as detailed above, but click Reject.
You’ll be prompted to add a note, and the rejection reason will be sent to the submitting user, and remain in the activity history of the expense.
Bulk Actioning Expenses
You can also approve or reject expenses in bulk. This is particularly helpful for approvers who have a large number of expenses to review, and want to efficiently action on them.
To bulk action, simply select the checkboxes of the expenses you’d like to action, and either approve or reject via the buttons in the header.

You can now sync with your HR system to easily import users into Rho, eliminating the need for manual entry and invites.
How does it work?
Rho connects to your HR system and pulls a list of employees.
- You can select employees you wish to invite to Rho or invite them all
- Employee information (department, location, role, managers and more) is mapped to the Rho User Management tab once you click Invite.
You can sync HR changes to Rho every 24 hours to ensure your user base stays up to date. Currently, syncs are triggered in-app.
HR changes we sync to Rho:
- User profile details (name, email, phone)
- Manager Assignment (direct approvers)
- Employees recently hired or joined
- Employees terminated or no longer active
Supported Providers
We support over fifty HR system providers, including: BambooHR, Freshteam, Hibob, HR Cloud, HR Partner, Hummans.io, Lano, Namely, Nmbrs, Paychex Flex, Paylocity, Personio, Proliant, Sage HR, SAP SuccessFactors, Sapling, Square Payroll, TriNet, UKG Pro, UKG Ready and more. To see a full list of supported providers, click here.
Setup
To get started, navigate to the Integrations tab in your Rho dashboard, or in your User Management tab, click Connect HR System.
Note: The user performing the integration must have administrator permissions both in Rho and in your HRIS system. Learn more about setting up user permissions in Rho here.
Search for and select your HR system from the list of 50+ available integrations.
Once your HR system is integrated, you can sync new changes to Rho any time.
Once you select your system, sign in via OAuth or API key.
A pop-up modal will show exactly which data will be read and parsed by the API. Note that this information differs by integration. You can view the exact fields being read via API before connecting.
We pull the following information from your HR System for each employee:
- Name, Email, and Phone Number
- Role
- Direct Manager (if manager on HRIS is either already on Rho or invited through the same bulk invite)
- Department
- Location
- Employment status
- Start Date - Termination date (to flag when an employee has been terminated)
- Employee ID
- Company Name
Note: Rho does not extract any compensation information.
Once you have given your consent for Rho to access this data and click Continue, the sync will begin.
You’ll be taken to an intermediary screen while Rho syncs with your HR system.
When the sync has completed, you'll land on the Review and Import Users screen.
Invite your users
On the Review and Import Users screen, you can select specific users to import, or opt to import all.
Users with incomplete information will not be imported into Rho. To fix missing user information, please update in your HR system, then sync with Rho again to bring in the users with updated information.
Individually or bulk select your desired users from the Review page using the checkboxes next to each name, then click + Accept All Changes.
Confirm your invites in the pop-up window by clicking Invite Users. This will prompt the syncing of the system and bring users into Rho.
New users will receive an email inviting them to join Rho and when the sync has been completed, you’ll be prompted to the User Management tab in Rho, where you can view or edit all users.
Sync Updates
To keep Rho up to date with your latest employee changes, you can manually sync with your HR system every 24 hours. To do so, navigate to the User Management tab. In the Users sub-tab, click the Sync with {HR System} button in the top right of the screen.
This will force a sync and bring you to a page where you can review, select, and then import new users. Select by clicking the checkboxes next to user’s names and finalize your changes by clicking + Accept Selected Changes.
Newly synced users will be visible in the User Management tab.
Disconnect from an Integration
You can disconnect your HR integration at any time by navigating to the Integrations tab > HR Integrations and clicking Disconnect. You can reconnect at any time or choose a new provider to integrate with.
Data Safety and Usage
We connect to your HRIS by pulling fields such as Name, Phone, Email, Manager, Employment Status, into our system so that Rho can create and you can manage users under your account. Rho never modifies any data or information in your HRIS.
We are fully SOC Type 2 compliant and are audited every year by a third-party using the SOC 2 framework.
This framework tests an organization’s control and management of customer data, relevant to security, availability, processing, integrity, confidentiality or privacy. SOC 2 reports help the organization in question, as well as regulators, partners, customers, vendors, and other stakeholders, achieve more confidence in the integrity of security, operations, and management of customer data.

How to create Vendors in Rho
An active Vendor profile is required in Rho to make payments in both our Banking and AP module.
There are a few ways that Rho supports getting your vendors information & payment methods configured and ready for payment.
The first way is to manually create a Vendor. Navigate to Vendors > “+ Add Vendor”.
- Note: users must have “Manage Vendors” permission to create & edit vendors
Follow the prompts to add relevant information about the vendor. You can always save progress as a “Draft” vendor if you need to return to it later.
Mapping Vendor
If your Rho account is integrated with one of our accounting integrations, you will have the option to create a mapping rule for this new vendor. You can decide either:
- Create a new Vendor in your ERP
- When you activate this vendor profile, a new Vendor record with the “Legal Name” indicated prior will be created in your ERP
- Map to an existing Vendor record
- Will show you the vendor attributes we have read from your ERP. If you are missing a value please head to Accounting > Dashboard > “Refresh”
Mapped vendors will automatically associate transactions to this record in your ERP.
Invite Vendor
You always have the option to request a vendor create their own profile by entering “+ Add Vendor”, adding the profile name & inviting the vendor to complete their profile. Learn more about this here.
Create Vendors from AP
If you are leveraging Rho AP, when we read invoice information & we do not recognize the vendor information on the invoice, we will create a “Draft Vendor” in Vendors> Drafts. You can then complete this profile or invite the vendor to complete their profile.
Bulk Upload Vendors
Should you have many vendors & payment information on file that you wish to bring to Rho, we are happy to assist you in bulk uploading these details for you, see more details here.
Once you have an active Vendor, you are able to add relevant Tax documents like W-9 forms to their profile, create mapping rules for automation of reconciliation of payments to this vendor and review transaction history on the vendor’s profile.
To invite a vendor, select “+ Add Vendor” and add required fields and select “Invite Vendor to Complete Profile”
The vendor will receive an email inviting them to complete their profile.
Vendors will receive auto reminders to complete information and can be manually reminded from Vendors> Drafts.
Along with adding individual vendors into Rho, clients can opt to upload multiple vendors in bulk. This functionality is performed by the Rho Client Service team on your behalf.
What is supported:
- Adding vendors for domestic payments
- Only adding one payment method for 1 vendor at a time,
- If you wish to add more payment methods you can do so after the bulk upload with the 1st payment method by selecting “Add account” on the vendor profile.
To take advantage of this service, please reach out to your success associate for the upload CSV template, which you'll need to fill out.
- Please carefully follow our instructions for each column header
- Columns with (*) are required for all vendors, we have different requirements for columns based on 1) if the vendor is an individual or a business or 2) what payment method you will be paying this vendor
Fill out the formatted CSV with your desired vendors then email the completed form to your Rho support team. You can expect to see your submitted vendors appear in your Rho dashboard under Vendors > Active within the next 1-2 business days.
Any errors or issues with the CSV data may result in a processing delay. In this event, the Client Service team will reach out to you to resolve the issue.
Rho’s Vendor management solution now allows you to collect & store Vendor’s W-9 forms on the Rho Vendor profile. In Q1 of 2024 Rho will also offer filing 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC forms leveraging W-9 information to speed up 2023 tax year filing!
How to collect Vendor’s W-9 forms
You first need to have an active vendor profile. Then select the Vendors profile > navigate to “Tax Files” > Select “New W-9 Form”
If you already have a W-9 form on file for this vendor and simply wish to relate it to their profile, select “Upload & Verify”. If you do not have the W-9 on file for this vendor select “Send form to Vendor,” and see article section “How to collect W-9 from Vendor”
After selecting “Upload & Verify,” upload the W-9 form file to the “Select File” section. Note: file must be a PDF and max file size is 15mb. Read & select the attestation to upload the W-9 form.
Once the W-9 form has been uploaded, please verify all fields parsed from the W-9 form, read and attest.
The vendor profile will be updated with a status that the W-9 form is “On file”.
How to collect W-9 Form from Vendor
After selecting “Send form to Vendor” you will be prompted to confirm or enter their email address, read, attest & confirm before sending the request
The vendor profile will show a status that the W-9 form is “Pending from Vendor.” Once received the status will change to “On file”
The vendor will receive the following email. The portal will be live for 10 days for the Vendor to upload their W-9 form, review and attest to the information’s accuracy & complete submission.
Requests that are not completed will expire & can be resent by the Rho user.
How to export information
You will be able to export this information collected via the Vendor CSV export in Q1 2024.

Bill Lifecycle
With Rho’s market-leading two-way integration, there’s no duplicate work for your AP team. Follow our guides to understand how to easily move your bills through the billing and payment process.
Payments
There are multiple ways to pay with Rho. Read below to learn about our easy payments methods and when you can expect your payments to settle.
- If you'd like to set up bulk transfers from your Rho account, reach out to us at 855-7-GETRHO or at Bank@Rho.co to discuss your specific needs. Bulk transfers are only permitted on a case-by-case basis, and companies need to be in compliance of any relevant laws and regulations.
- In your Rho dashboard, navigate to the Banking tab > All Recent Activity > View All.
- Yes, you can. To link a business PayPal account to Rho, first log into PayPal. Find the 'Pay & Get Paid' tab. Then, select 'Banks & Cards' and 'Link a New Bank.' Under the list of banks to connect, you will need to type in any mix of letters (eg. abcdefghi) in the search bar in order to prompt the option 'Don't see your bank here?'. Once you see that option, click that to enter your Rho routing and account number details. When connecting your Rho account, double-check that the name of the entity on your PayPal account explicitly matches the name of the entity on your Rho account. Micro-deposits will be used to link your account. The Micro deposits should appear in your Rho account from PayPal within 2-3 business days. Once they arrive you can log back into PayPal to confirm the amounts you received. Your connection will then be active.
- While ACHs and Domestic Wires are both domestic payments, there are a few differences between these types of payments:
- 1. They run on different networks
- An ACH transfer (a.k.a. direct deposit) is a method of sending funds from one bank to another using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network. To process an ACH transfer, a request is made from the payor’s bank account. Then, funds are sent via the ACH network to a recipient’s bank. The Automated Clearing House network is a network of financial institutions, including banks and credit unions, that are batching transactions between them, guided by the rule-making organization, Nacha. ACH is a US-only network, thus not available for vendors outside the United States.
- Wire transfers are electronic interbank payments used to transfer funds directly from one entity’s bank account to another’s. Wire instructions include the bank account number and ABA bank routing number for the vendor receiving the money.
- Wire transfers are individual requests, while ACH transfers are handled in batches. For example, employee payroll checks are often directly deposited using ACH transfers.
- 2. Banks may have different routing numbers to accept ACHs or wires
- As these are two different types of payments, many banks have different routing numbers reserved for receiving ACHs, separate from the routing number they use to receive wires. Before sending a payment, be sure to check that the routing number you have for the recipient bank accepts ACHs, wires, or both.
- 3. Fees
- While Rho does not charge for sending and receiving ACHs or wire, other banks may have sending/receiving fees for these transfers. In general at other banks, ACH transactions are lower cost than wire transfers.
- 4. Settlement times
- Each financial institution sets its cutoff time policy for sending same business day bank wires. With wire payments, funds are immediately available within 24 hours upon arriving in the vendor's bank account. At Rho wires sent prior to 3pm EST will arrive same-day. Wires sent after 3pm EST will land the next business day.
- ACHs sent prior to 2pm EST will land same-day. ACHs sent after 2pm EST will land within 1-3 business days.
- 5. Ability to recall or dispute a payment
- ACHs are much easier to recall or dispute.
- Once funds have been wired, because of the immediacy, recalling erroneous transactions is much more difficult.
- Conclusion:
- Wire transfers and ACH transfers serve different needs. Wire transfers are best when speed and certainty are critical. ACH payments are good for small, frequent payments. As long as everybody involved trusts each other, it’s cost-effective to use this automated system. Common examples of ACH payments include:
- Direct deposit of employee pay or benefits from Social Security
- Automatic monthly bill payments to utilities, lenders, and other service providers
- Moving money between your accounts at different banks
- Automatic contributions to retirement accounts or education savings accounts
- Some merchants and organizations also like ACH transfers for one-off payments to avoid their bank's recipient wire fees.
To create a card in the Rho mobile app, open the app and navigate to the Cards tab seen at the bottom of your screen.
Click the + icon in the top right corner to begin creating a new card.
Just like creating a new card in the Rho desktop application, in the card details section, you can opt to create a virtual or physical card and assign the card to yourself or another person.
Once the card has been created, we recommend adding it to your digital wallet for easy, instant use. Both physical and virtual cards can be added to Apple or Google Wallet. Cards added to digital wallets are a digital copy of your physical card, with the same card number and details.
If you created a card for a team member (if you have permissions to do so, you can do it in the User field when creating the card), they will receive an email notifying them and inviting them to view the card details.
What happens when I write a check through Rho?
When you cut a check through Rho, funds are set aside immediately after you send the payments in the banking account. We do this to ensure that there are sufficient funds every time a check is cashed. Funds do not leave your checking account until Rho receives notice that the check has been cashed by the recipient.
What happens to checks that don’t clear the bank?
Checks that do not clear the recipient bank will eventually be voided after 90 calendar days.
Does Rho remove or cancel the checks that are outstanding after a certain amount of time?
Any check that has not been cashed in 90 calendar days will be voided automatically.
Can I see a list of checks that haven’t cleared yet?
You can see checks that have not cleared by going to the all activity page on the banking dashboard and filtering status of transaction to “Pending”. Any checks in pending have not been cashed.
If the address we have on the check is no good, where does the check get returned?
The check gets returned back to your business address that we have on file.
Check flow when a check is successfully cashed
Check flow when your vendor does not cash your check
- After you order a physical Rho Card, you'll get an email when the card is on its way.
- For security purposes, the card will ship as inactive. Once the card arrives, the package will include a QR Code. Scan the QR code with your mobile device, enter your card details (as printed on the actual card) and this will activate your card.
- If you've misplaced your Rho Card, you can temporarily lock or freeze your Rho Card from the My Cards page. Click on the card you want to lock, then click the Actions button. Select Lock Card, and then follow the instructions.
- If you're worried your Rho Card is permanently lost or has been stolen, cancel the card immediately. From the My Cards page, click on the card you want to cancel, then click the Actions button. Select Cancel Card, and then follow the instructions.
If you're concerned your card has been stolen or used fraudulently, email clientservice@rho.co as soon as possible or call us at 1 (855) 7-GETRHO. - If you require a replacement Rho Card, Rho recommends creating a new card after you have canceled the existing one. For more information about creating a new Rho Card, see Create a new Rho Card.
- By default, Rho Cards cannot be used internationally, so to enable international spend, navigate to the Advanced Controls section of your Card Settings and toggle on the International Spend function.
- Without this, cards will only be approved for domestic transactions.
- Note, there are no foreign transaction fees on Rho Cards, but international transactions are not eligible for cashback.
- You may create an unlimited number of virtual and physical Rho cards. To create a card, see Create a new Rho Card.
- No, Rho cards cannot be used to withdraw cash from a bank ATM. Cash advances or cash transfers are not supported on Rho corporate cards. Additionally, you cannot use Rho cards for push-to-debit transactions.
- Yes. By default, the name associated with the Rho Card is the first and last name of the user who was assigned the card. To change the cardholder name, navigate to Cards > My Cards, then select your desired card, and edit the nickname field on the Card Settings page.
- Ask the merchant to run the card as credit, not debit.
- When asked for a PIN on the keypad, do not enter one, press "continue" or "enter" (usually the yellow or green key), and the charge should go through.No. If you are paying at a merchant and they are telling you that they need a PIN to complete your charge, or if your card is denied at the point of sale due to not having a PIN, you can:
- Credit cards use codes embedded inside the chip, stripe, or CVV code rather than PINs, to verify the transaction.
- Note: If asked for a PIN multiple times, the point-of-sale (POS) will say “Enter PIN”; however, many will say "Press ENTER to continue” or “Bypass PIN” or have a green button to proceed. Any of these alternate actions to enter a PIN should complete your transaction.

How to enable mileage reimbursements
Rho Admins can log into Rho and navigate to the Expenses tab > Settings. After ensuring that Enable Reimbursements is toggled on, turn on the toggle for Mileage Reimbursements.
Once Mileage Reimbursements have been turned on, you can enter a rate per mile for reimbursement. Rho will pre-populate the current year’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rate of $0.67/mile, but you can adjust it to match your company policy.
Submit a mileage reimbursement
To submit a reimbursement in the Rho app, navigate to the Expenses tab > Reimbursements. Click the + to create a new request.
To submit a reimbursement on your desktop, navigate to Expenses > Personal Expenses > Reimbursements, then click on the + Reimburse button.
In the pop-up window, choose Mileage as the reimbursement type, then click Continue.
In the form, fill out the expense details.
Location Points
You can use location points to easily calculate mileage by simply inputting your starting place and end location. The form will automatically calculate mileage and your final reimbursement amount based on the mileage payout rate set by your administrator.
Manual Entry
If you already know the mileage for your trip, you can input it directly.
Note: Your mileage reimbursement will be calculated using the rate your business set when the expense occurred.
Click Submit when finished.
You'll then see your reimbursement request in your Personal Expenses table in Rho.
Note: Check to make sure your reimbursement has the status Needs approval, which means it has been successfully submitted for approval. If your business has enabled additional requirements to reimbursements, you may be asked to add extra documentation or information, which will be indicated by an Incomplete status in the table. In this event, expand the details on your reimbursement by clicking on it and fill in the missing information needed.
How the reimbursement will appear
Similar to out-of-pocket reimbursement requests, employees will be paid directly to their bank accounts. If they haven't set up an account to receive reimbursements, they'll be prompted to do so when they submit their first request.
How to Ensure Mileage Reimbursements Sync Successfully to Your ERP via Rho
When using Rho to sync mileage reimbursements to your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, it is essential to have proper mapping rules set up to ensure transactions sync successfully. Here's how to set up an Accounts Payable (AP) Chart of Accounts for mileage reimbursements in Rho:
- Connect Your Accounting Software to Rho
- Before setting up mapping rules, ensure your accounting software is connected to Rho.
- Navigate to Mapping Rules
- Go to Integrations > Mapping Rules in your Rho account.
- Select the Appropriate Entity
- Choose the entity or subsidiary for which you want to set up the mapping rule.
- Access Settings for Mapping
- Click on Settings within the Mapping Rules section.
- Set Up the AP Chart of Accounts
- Scroll down to Other Accounts and find Rho Accounts Payable.
- Select the account from your accounting software that represents your AP account for mileage reimbursements.
- Save Your Changes
- Ensure all changes are saved automatically or click Save Changes if required.
Note: If mileage reimbursements are categorized differently in your accounting software, you may need to create a specific AP account for these transactions or map them to an existing expense account that handles reimbursements.
By following these steps, you can set up an AP Chart of Accounts for mileage reimbursements, allowing for successful synchronization of these transactions from Rho to your ERP system.
Note: You must select an address from the drop down menu that appears as you enter the address. This ensures Rho can accurately measure the distance between destinations

What is a card feed integration?
A card feed integration is a data connection that allows Rho Card transaction data to flow into third-party travel and expense management software. Since Rho Cards run on the Mastercard network, they can easily connect to your T&E software via Mastercard Smart Data.
How do I set up a card feed integration for my Rho Cards?
- Reach out to clientservice@rho.co if you would like to set up a card feed integration and connect your Rho Cards to your expense management platform.
- Our team will confirm whether your T&E software is compatible with Mastercard Smart Data.
- If it is, you’ll have to reach out to your T&E software to let them know that Rho will start sending data to them. Rho will provide you with a Delivery ID that needs to be shared with your T&E software in order to configure the feed on their end.
- Our team will confirm with you once Rho’s feed is live. It takes 3 to 5 business days for Rho to set up your feed.
What data is shared?
- Cardholder name
- Last 4 digits of the card number
- Purchase date
- Purchase amount
- Merchant name
- Merchant category
What data is not shared?
Only transaction data is sent via Mastercard at the time of purchase. We do not send any other data that you share with Rho.
How frequently do transactions sync?

- The transaction will be automatically declined, and the SMS will prompt you to confirm whether you recognize the transaction.
- Reply YES if you recognize the transaction, and the block will be lifted, allowing you to re-attempt the purchase.
- If you reply NO, indicating that you do not recognize the transaction, your card will be automatically canceled to prevent further fraudulent activity.
Tips and Warnings
- Regularly update your cell phone number in your account settings to ensure you receive timely alerts.
- Be aware that replying NO will result in the immediate cancellation of your card, so confirm the transaction carefully.
- This feature is optional but highly recommended for enhanced security.
We know every Rho customer is unique and has different business needs which impact how their employees interact with the Rho platform. For this reason, our user management feature equips Account Owners and Administrators with full control over how your users interact with the platform and what they can access.
To manage or edit user access, first log in to your Rho Dashboard.
Once logged in to your Rho dashboard, select the User Management tab in the left navigation menu.
Under User Management, you will see two tabs: User and Group. This article is split into two sections accordingly: managing Individual Users and managing Groups.
Managing Individual Users
In the User tab, admins can create, manage, and view all user profiles of their organization for streamlined administration and updates.
Add a New User
To add a new user, navigate to User Management > Users. In the Users tab, click the Invite User button in the top right corner of the dashboard.
The drop down will prompt you to either Add User or Import Users.
- To Add a User, fill in the details in the pop-up form and save and submit your changes by clicking Invite User.
- To Import Users, upload a CSV file with the information of one or more users. Please refer to our template CSV file to ensure the correct format for importing.
Form Fields:
- First Name: Specify the user’s first name.
- Last Name: Specify the user’s last name.
- Email Address: Specify the user’s email address. When the profile is created, the Rho application sends an email message to the user inviting them to the Rho application.
- Phone Number: Specify the user’s phone number. If this phone number is a cell phone, the user can use this number for two-factor validation when required.
- User Group: Click the drop-down list and select the desired role for the user in the Rho application. For more information about User Roles, see our Group Tab.
- Monthly User Spending Limit: Enter the amount of money the user can spend in a calendar month.
Edit a User Profile
To edit an individual user’s information, navigate to User Management > Users. In this tab, you will see a list of all users. Select the desired user by clicking their name, which opens a new window with their information and details.
Under their name, click the Edit button. In the pop-up form, make your desired changes, then save and submit them by clicking Save.
Delete a User
To delete an individual user, navigate to User Management > Users. In this tab, you will see a list of all users. Select the desired user by clicking their name, which opens a new window with their information and details.
Under their name, click the Edit button. In the bottom left corner, click the red Delete User button on the form.
This prompts a final pop-up confirming the deletion. Please note deletions are permanent and irreversible.
Managing Groups
Similar to the User tab, the Groups tab allows you to view and manage all of your user groups in one place. In this tab, you can:
- View details for each user group and users who belong to each group. You may also search for and directly add or remove users from groups here.
- View and edit default user groups, which Rho has pre-designed to address common client user roles and their likely access level needed.
- Create and define new, customizable user groups based on specific control preferences and your organization’s needs.
Default User Groups
Rho has six pre-set user groups, which are available to use as defaults. These are Account Owner, Administrator, Budget Owner, Employee, Bookkeeper, and Investor. Each of these user groups has a unique package of permissions and pre-set controls to minimize set-up time.
See below for the six default user groups and their descriptions:
User group | Description |
---|---|
Account Owner | This role should be assigned to the owner of the account at Rho, typically the CEO or CFO of a company. Account Owners have full access to the dashboard as far as creating and using Team Cards, creating wires/ACHs, viewing account balances, creating and viewing Budgets, accepting legal agreements, and adding new Team Members. This role, along with the Administrator, will have the default ability to accept any legal agreements on behalf of the client. |
Administrator | The Admin role in Rho is designed for individuals who require comprehensive access and control over the Rho dashboard, often assigned to a member of the company's executive or leadership team, such as the Director of Finance or CFO. Admins have full access to the dashboard, including the ability to create and use Team Cards, initiate wires/ACHs, view account balances, create and view budgets, accept legal agreements, and add new team members. This role, alongside the Account Owner, possesses the default ability to accept any legal agreements on behalf of the client. Overall, the Admin role is a high-level access role that allows for managing and overseeing the company's financial operations within Rho. |
Budget Owner | This role should be assigned to the manager of a team of employees but not an Administrator. Each Budget owner has the ability to view and manage Budgets that they are added to, and any team cards that are also added to that Budget. Here is more information about creating Budgets. Budget Owners can not create bills. |
Employee | This role should be assigned to any employee who should be given limited permissions, such as creating their own Rho cards. They are, however, unable to view account balances or Vendor history. |
Bookkeeper | This role should be assigned to the company’s accountant and is a ‘view all’ role with limited action permissions. Bookkeepers can view all balances and transactions but require approvals to send them. |
Investor | This role should be assigned to investors who need to review account finances directly. This role is predominantly 'view only’, however, investors can create transactions in the banking tab. |
Edit Permissions of Default User Groups
While the Default User Groups have pre-set permissions, further customizations may be made to the Budget Owner, Employee, Bookkeeper, or Investor groups. Note that the Account Owner or Administrator is not editable.
In the User Management > Groups tab, from the list on the left hand of the screen, select the Group that you would like to make changes to. This will open a larger window with your selected Group’s details.
From here, click on the black Change Permissions button seen under the Permissions tab.
For an in-depth glossary of permission definitions, please reference our User Permissions Glossary.
Make your desired changes to the group permissions by using the on/off toggles.
Finally, save and submit your changes by clicking the Save Changes button, which replaced the Change Permissions button.
Create New User Groups
If you don’t want to use a pre-configured User Group, you can create a new group in the Groups tab.
Navigate to the User Management > Groups tab. In the upper right corner, click the Create Group button.
This will open a small window, where you will name your new Group and customize the controls and permissions.
In the Permissions section, all permissions will be toggled to the Off status as default. Flip the toggle to the On status to enable your users within this group to use the desired functionality.
For an in-depth glossary of permission definitions, please reference our User Permissions Glossary.
Finalize the creation of your new Group and submit your changes by clicking the Save button.
Duplicate User Groups
Existing User Groups (with the exception of Account Owner and Administrator) may be duplicated for your convenience. This includes customer Groups you have created, as well as most Default Groups.
First, navigate to the User Management > Groups tab. Once in this tab, select the Group that you would like to duplicate from the list of existing Groups on the left hand of the screen.
This will open a larger window with your selected Group’s details.
Click on the three dots at the top left corner, and select Duplicate Group from the drop-down.
This will pre-populate a new Group with the original Group’s permissions toggled to the respective On or Off statuses. The last step is to name your new group and add a description.
To finalize the creation of this new group, click the Save button to save and submit your changes.
Delete User Groups
First, navigate to the User Management > Groups tab. Once in this tab, select the Group that you would like to delete from the list of existing Groups on the left hand of the screen. This will open a larger window with your selected Group’s details.
Click on the three dots at the top left corner, and select Delete Group from the drop-down.
This will prompt a pop-up asking to confirm the deletion. Click the red Confirm Deletion button to complete the action. Note that once a Group is deleted, it cannot be restored.
If you're managing multiple businesses through our mobile app, switching between them is straightforward. Here's how you can easily switch businesses within the app:
- Open the mobile app and log in to your account.
- Look for your business logo in the top right corner of the screen. This logo represents the currently active business.
- Tap on the business logo. This action will open the Settings menu.
- In the Settings menu, locate and tap on the three dots icon situated in the top right corner.
- A menu will appear with several options. Here, you can select "Switch Business" to change the active business account.
- If you have multiple businesses associated with your account, you'll see a list of all your businesses. Select the business you wish to switch to.
- The app will then switch to the selected business, and you can begin managing it as needed.
Tips:
- Ensure that you have the latest version of the mobile app installed to access all features smoothly.
- If your business has a logo, it will be displayed as the icon in the top right corner. This visual cue makes it easier to identify the currently active business.
- If you do not see the option to switch businesses, ensure that you are logged in with an account that has access to multiple businesses. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.
- Remember to log out of the business account if you're using a shared or public device to prevent unauthorized access.
In Rho, specifying a default payment method for your vendors is straightforward. However, it's important to note that our system currently does not allow for specifying a default payment account when there are multiple accounts of the same type, such as two ACH account types. The system defaults to the first account listed.
However, there is a workaround if you need to change the default payment method under certain circumstances. Here's how to manage and update the default payment method for your vendors:
- Check the Default Payment Method: Before making any changes, verify which payment method is currently set as the vendor's default. If the payment method you wish to remove or change is the default and it's the only account of its type, the system will not allow its removal.
- Select a New Default If Necessary: If you intend to delete a payment method that is currently the default, ensure another account of a different type is available. Then, you can set this other account as the new default payment method.
- Deleting a Payment Method: If the first ACH account is not needed and you wish to make the second one the default, you can delete the first account. This action will automatically make the remaining account the default payment method. However, if both account types (two ACH accounts) are necessary, our system currently does not support designating the second one as the default.
- If the second account is a different type, you will need to set it as the Default Payment Method before deleting the first account.
The system prevents the removal of a default payment method if it is the only instance of its type. Always ensure that a default payment account of the same type is available before deleting a payment method.
We understand the importance of flexibility in managing payment methods and are continuously working to improve our system to accommodate more versatile functions.
If you encounter any issues or have questions about managing vendor payment methods, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance.
You can use Rho to send money via physical check to any person or business. Rho generates a physical check made out to the specified vendor and mails it to their configured address.
To begin, navigate to the Banking tab in your Rho dashboard.
Click the Move Funds button to start your transfer, and select the Pay option.
Select your vendor on the next screen, then select the Send a Check option. If you do not have the Payment Account already created, you have the option to add a new payment account.
On the Amount page, select the Desired Checking account you wish to pay from and enter the amount.
The following screen allows you to add additional transaction information. When you are finished, click the Continue button at the bottom of the screen.
Frequency: By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred only once (One-Time Only). To specify a recurring transfer, toggle on Schedule for a future date and select the desired frequency: one-time only (default)—every day, every week, every month, and every year.When will the transaction begin processing?: By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred immediately (Now). To specify a later date, click on the calendar field to specify the desired date after toggling on Schedule for a future date.
Note: If you schedule a recurring transfer, the Rho application bases the transfer on the date specified in the Send date field. For example, the transfer will execute at that specific date each month (Jan 20th, Feb 20th, etc.), regardless of whether it's a weekend or not, if the monthly cadence is set on a recurring transaction. Note that it will execute on that exact date, but it may not settle on that exact date, depending on the transaction type—settlement time may vary.
If February has fewer days, it will be set to the last day of Feb; for ex. choosing Jan 31 and setting a monthly recurring cadence would apply the transaction on Feb 29, Mar 31, Apr 30
Memo: Enter any notes or information to be associated with the transfer.
Add Attachment: To attach a bill or invoice to the transfer, click the Add Attachment button. A dialog window will open, allowing you to navigate to the location where the file is located and then click Open.
Add Budget & Label: To assign the transfer to a specific Rho budget or label, click on the relevant button and select the desired name. For more information about creating budgets, see Create a New Budget.
You'll be taken to a confirmation screen where you can review transfer details for accuracy. Once you are satisfied, click Confirm & Pay to finish.
Locating the check number
In Rho, there are several places where you can find the check number for your transactions. Here’s where you can view it:
- AP and Banking Transaction Windows: When you open the details of a specific transaction in either the Accounts Payable (AP) or Banking sections of your Rho dashboard, the check number is displayed within the transaction details.
- Vendor Notifications: When a check is issued and sent to a vendor, the notification sent to the vendor includes the check number. This helps vendors track and reconcile payments.
- Transaction PDF Exports: When you download the details of a transaction in a PDF, the check number is included in the export.
At this time, Rho does not support third-party check issuance or printing (including issuing checks from your Payroll providers (ADP, Gusto, etc). In order to complete Payroll checks for your employees, we suggest creating them as Vendors and issuing checks through Rho. Rho does not currently offer checkbooks, printed checks, or cashier's checks.
You can use Rho to send money to any person or business. To start, navigate to the Banking tab in your Rho dashboard, click the Move Funds button, and select the Pay option to start your transfer.
On the next screen, select your vendor and then the Rho Vendor's Payment Account. If the Payment Account has not already been created, you can add a new one.
On the Amount page, select the Desired Checking account you wish to pay from and enter the amount.
After successfully selecting the vendor and entering the desired amount, you can add additional transaction information on the Details page. When you are finished, click the Continue button at the bottom of the screen.
Frequency: By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred only once (One-Time Only). To specify a recurring transfer, toggle on Schedule for a future date and select the desired frequency: one-time only (default)—every day, every week, every month, and every year.When will the transaction begin processing?: By default, the money is scheduled to be transferred immediately (Now).

Add Attachment: To attach a bill or invoice to the transfer, click the Add Attachment button. A dialog window will open, allowing you to navigate to the location where the file is located and then click Open.
Add Budget & Label: To assign the transfer to a specific Rho budget or label, click on the relevant button and select the desired name. For more information about creating budgets, see Create a New Budget.
You'll be taken to a confirmation screen where you can review transfer details for accuracy. Once you are satisfied, click Confirm & Pay to finish.
ACH vs. Domestic Wires
ACHs and Domestic Wires are both domestic payments. However, since these are two different types of payments, some banks reserve routing numbers for ACHs separate from those for wires. Before sending a payment, be sure to check that the routing number you have for the recipient bank accepts ACHs, wires, or both.
Each financial institution sets its cutoff time policy for sending same-business-day bank wires.
- Domestic wires are typically processed and received at the recipient bank on the same day if the wire is issued prior to the 4:45 p.m. EST deadline. If issued after the deadline, the wire should arrive within 24 hours of being sent.
- ACH settlement time varies depending on various factors, such as the policy of the receiving bank or transaction amount. Typically, ACH transfers are received within 1 to 3 business days. If the ACH payment is created before 2 p.m. ET and is under $1mm, it should process on the same day.
Rho allows clients to efficiently manage their payments by adding payment dates to multiple payments simultaneously through a bulk action. This feature is designed to streamline the payment scheduling process, making it more efficient and less time-consuming. Here’s how you can take advantage of this new functionality.
Steps to Bulk Add Payment Dates
- Navigate to the Payments tab on your Rho Dashboard.
- Go to the Draft table where your pending payments are listed.
- Select the payments you wish to add a payment date to by clicking on the checkboxes next to each payment.
- Once you have selected the desired payments, click on the Update Payment Date button at the top of the table.
- A calendar interface will appear. Select the desired payment date for the selected payments.
- Confirm your selection to apply the payment dates to the selected payments.
This feature is particularly useful for businesses that handle a large volume of transactions and need to schedule multiple payments efficiently. By using the bulk add payment date functionality, you can ensure that your payments are organized and scheduled according to your business needs, all from a single interface.
This feature is available for all payment types listed in the Draft table, including checks, ACH, wires, and single-use virtual Rho cards.
