About Brex
Brex offers corporate cards, a business account, expense management, reimbursements, bill pay and travel in one platform. It started with venture-backed startups and now also serves mid-sized and enterprise companies, with multi-entity and global card programs that work across many countries. Spending policies, receipt capture and accounting sync to QuickBooks, Xero and NetSuite reduce manual coding. The Essentials plan is free per user, a Premium plan adds custom policies and more controls per user per month, and Enterprise is custom-priced. Brex's site describes its payment and treasury entities as Capital One companies, following Capital One's acquisition. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. Like Ramp, it is not accounting software and approval depends on underwriting, so it fits companies that want to centralise spending rather than sole traders. Check how the new ownership affects products you rely on.
Best for: Startups and growing companies that want cards, banking and expenses in one place.
