Northampton SU
“Can a student union replace manual corporate-card processes with modern multi-card spend management to give distributed teams financial autonomy while maintaining centralised visibility?”
Northampton SU is the students' union of the University of Northampton, a member-led organisation providing services to enrolled students. The union operates commercial outlets (bar, corner shop, art supplier), student clubs and societies. A key recent operational development was the modernisation of spend management: the finance team replaced a single shared corporate credit card with Soldo's multi-card spend management platform, reducing month-end close time by 75%. This represents an incremental but meaningful embedded-finance adoption for an organisation of its type.
