Bug Fixes

CARDS

Card Activation Emails Now Send Reliably

Some users were unable to activate their Emburse Cards because activation emails were not sent. This issue prevented completion of the card activation workflow. Activation emails are now delivered consistently, allowing users to activate their cards without interruption.

Cardholder Name Updates Now Save Correctly

In some cases, updates to a cardholder’s name were not reflected in the system after being saved. This could result in outdated or incorrect user information. Cardholder name changes now save and display correctly across the application.

Italian VAT IDs Accepted During Sign Up Process

Customers entering valid Italian VAT IDs during the sign up process were blocked due to input validation errors. This prevented completion of the sign up process for affected users. The validation logic has been updated to support correct Italian VAT ID formats.
