reimburse

Cover someone's expenses

To reimburse is to pay someone back for money they've spent: The company will reimburse you for travel expenses.

The word implies restoring funds to someone who paid out of pocket on another's behalf.

It's more formal than "pay back" and typically appears in business, legal, or insurance contexts: Submit your receipts to be reimbursed.
