Case Study: Anduril achieves faster R&D purchasing and real-time, secure spend control with Teampay

Accelerating invention and growth with distributed spend management

Anduril, a fast-growing defense and R&D company, faced rising costs and fraud risk from prototype purchases and lacked visibility or control over engineer spending. Physical corporate cards were slow to issue and personal-card reimbursements created a painful two-week lag, so Anduril chose Teampay to enable faster, controlled purchasing without slowing innovation.

Teampay implemented distributed spend management with virtual cards, Slack integration and pre-approval flows, giving Anduril granular controls and upfront categorization of spend. The result: employees get cards and approvals within minutes, no more floating personal cash or heavy expense reports, clearer visibility into subscriptions (e.g., vendor-specific virtual cards for AWS), reduced fraud impact, and a seamless rollout—delivering faster, auditable spending that matches Anduril’s R&D pace.
