NOVApay Home Page Redesign

SAP Concur is launching a refreshed home page experience on the desktop that features an intuitive design and user-friendly navigation. Late August, you will have the option to enable the new home page.

By enabling this option, you will benefit from the following:

  • A refreshed, modern design
  • Simplified navigation
  • Streamlined user workflows to facilitate faster completion of tasks
  • Improved scalability, performance, and responsiveness

The home page redesign will not change any features or functionality; it is only a visual user interface (UI) update. January 2025, the home page will permanently update to the modern version for all users.
