Your spending pot is your allocated budget for rewarding colleagues through Mo. Use it to add monetary recognition to your Moments and track your reward activity.

What Are Spending Pots?

Spending pots are budget allocations that allow you to:

  • Attach monetary rewards to Moments

  • Recognise outstanding work with tangible appreciation

  • Manage reward spending within set limits

  • Track reward history and usage patterns

Note: Not all users have spending pot access. This feature must be enabled by your organisation's Mo admin.
