Brex vs. Perk

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

Very helpful in saving time and costs when it comes to planning business travel, tracking expenses, and reimbursement management. Their support team is friendly and comprehensive, they manage to do changes to our reservations within 10 hours before our trip with no extra costs. I can't find a scenario where it is less appropriate.

• 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.

• I got very competitive flight tickets. Booking was very easy since I don't need to make a payment on my own.
• It was automatic payment by the company's preset card. Hence, the transaction was very smooth.
• I was able to do a group booking when we went for a business meeting. It helped us to get same rows seats, hence it was more productive even inside the flight.
• Any time I contact the support team the response was immediate and great.

• 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

Incentivized

• Truly awful customer service agents who are careless and make mistakes constantly
• Inability to see other travelers on the App, even as an admin
• AE does not escalate issues quickly or seriously enough

It has worked well for us for at least 5 years so I would anticipate us keeping Brex

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

Great customer service and the chat is wonderful. There is always someone connected.

NA-I wasn't part of the set up process for 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 checking account, but Brex has been nice because of the rewards and the way it works to track expenses and cards.

TravelPerk does not make us pay for booking flights so it is a much cheaper option for the same quality of service. The chat option is great, compared to phone customer service with Egencia that also gets costly: $22/call.

NA- I don't use Brex in a way that I know how to comment on this

• No fee wire transfer.
• Net 60 credit card terms is good for our cashflow.
• Fast and easy employee credit cards saves us time.

Incentivized

• Saves the HR and events team time: employees can book their travel by themselves
• Saves the finance team time: employees book travel using the corporate card, so they don't need to be reimbursed
• Efficient documentation: it's very easy to see and manage employees' trip info and receipts in one place, which helps with accounting
