Integrate Zoho Expense With HSBC

Until now, the Finance team members of our customers were only able to mark a report as reimbursed and take up the reimbursement outside Zoho Expense. Now, they can reimburse employee expense reports right from the interface of Zoho Expense, using the HSBC integration.

Note: Reimbursements via HSBC can be done only in the India edition of Zoho Expense.
