Circula and finban – expenses in order, liquidity planned
Circula is a Berlin-based expense platform for travel expenses, reimbursements, corporate cards and benefits, with German travel expense rules at its core – per diems by duration and destination, mileage, accommodation allowances. Circula organises the settlement. finban adds the forecast: when each reimbursement and card settlement hits the account.
Why travel expenses look different in a plan
An expense report looks back over a period. Liquidity cares about the payout date: the batch transfer to employees, the card settlement, the payroll run that carries allowances.
How Circula data reaches finban today
Export the settled expenses and reimbursements as a file – CSV or one of the accounting formats Circula produces – and map the columns once in finban's spreadsheet integration. Or keep the export in a Google Sheet that finban reads on a schedule. A native integration is planned.
What finban is not
finban does not replace Circula, and it is not bookkeeping or tax advice. It reads; it never writes back.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a direct Circula integration in finban?
Not yet – it is planned. Today the data comes in by file export or a Google Sheet.
Does finban calculate per diems?
No. Circula does that, and that is where it belongs. finban takes the result as an amount with a date.

Set up once, then one click
Circula does not connect directly — you bring the file. Column mapping, overwrite rules and error handling are set up once; every import after that is a single click.
