Considered Both Products
Brex
Chose Brex
I did not use other products before Brex.
Chose Brex
We use and thoroughly enjoy both. One we use as our main bank and Brex as our credit card provider. I'd say they serve different purposes (with Brex we get points), whereas Mercury we mostly use for wire transfers. We did initially start using Mercury because we needed a …
Chose Brex
Brex was one of the first corporate cards. It seems like there are many copy cats out there - hard to know how different they are but I appreciate Brex's customer service and easy to use UI. I think worth evaluating competitors as this market grows, but we're pretty locked into …
Chose Brex
I was not a decision-maker, but I believe it's the card reporting analysis that is best for the company.
Chose Brex
Divvy allows you to get hyper focused in on how much individuals are allowed to spend. Honestly it is comparable to Brex, but is more well suited for micromanaging organizational spend.

Brex is good because I am able to give my employees limits that match our budgets and I don't …
Chose Brex
Brex has been a great choice for our business and truly is a holistic software solution than a line of credit for a growing business. I also like how Brex is continuing to develop more features rather than maintaining a static product offering.

Likelihood to Recommend
A great corporate card for startups. Easy to use and set up, easy search and track spending. I would recommend it to tech companies looking for an interface and experience that vastly improves on existing banks. Also great to have a large line of credit compared to what's offered traditionally

Ability to sync with many other systems and flexible systems. I do not recommend for areas with a bad internet connection.

Pros
  • Rewards - The rewards were the main reason for us switching. Our previous card provider did not have a good rewards program.
  • User Interface and experience - When a charge is recorded on the Brex card, users immediately receive a text notification asking them to send a picture of their receipt. Brex automatically attaches the receipts to the charge which has saved our users a significant amount of time.

Cons
  • Their Quickbooks integration just updated and is now a nightmare.
  • It would be nice if I got more fraud review activities for my employees.
  • I want them to go back to their old export system into Quickbooks

  • Allow money returns from an advance to be reflected in the advance balance. If an employee settles an advance by returning cash, it does not reflect that in the system.

Usability
The usability is pretty great. I love the UI / UX for uploading the Memo; at times, I do not even need to be inside the platform. I simply use Slack.

Prompt and always extremely fast to respond. I also think the intuitiveness of their solution negates the need for much support
