    Chose U.S. Bank Spend Management
    There are not a lot of other apps like this. Most of them just track expenses without giving employees the ability to use company funds. I understand that in larger companies this may not be an issue, but for our employees, it is nice to not have to use their own money. You can …

    Our organization was able to get a deep discount on the product, so it's suited for small businesses that are very cost conscious that just need basic tools. It's best to evaluate your accounting platform and how the information can flow from ExpenseWire to the financial application, since what we use currently doesn't allow automatic sync, which might be problematic in many cases.

    Our organization runs a lot of short-term or one-off programs where the program staff need to buy supplies -- Bento is perfect for these scenarios. The staff who make the purchases are not staff who would typically have a company card, so we wanted a solution other than giving them a credit card. Bento was perfect because it makes the purchasing & bookkeeping processes for these programs easy and efficient for both the staff and the finance team

    If you are looking for prepaid business care or a business expense card, I highly do not recommend using Bento for Business. Do yourself and your business a favor and use a more customer service orientated services such as Pex, Wex, or Expensify. Bento for Business is bad business. Just don't do it.
