New way to submit expenses
Published on October 30, 2025 by The Social Change Nest
Hi everyone,
From today you’ll notice a slight change to how you submit expenses on Open Collective. The new expense submission flow has been developed by Open Collective’s team over the last few months and has already been trialled by many of you to make the process smooth and clear.
To help you get comfortable with the new process, we’ve put together a few resources:
- 💡 Expense submission guide: step-by-step instructions for the new process
- 🎥 Quick tutorial video: a short walkthrough of how it all looks in practice
- 🧰 Open Collective resources: direct links to OC’s help docs and support articles
- 💻 Open Hour drop ins: monthly refreshers of how to use OC
💬 Still need a hand? Our team is here to help, just reach out at [email protected] if you get stuck or have questions.
These updates are live now, so the next time you go to submit an expense, you might notice a slightly different layout. It should all feel quite familiar, and if anything, slightly easier.
Thanks as always for the brilliant work you do and for moving through these changes with us!
SCN Team
