Ramp vs. Visa Spend Clarity

Ramp is well suited for managing everyday spending. We have been able to set standard permissions across the board for our team, monitor spending easily, and adjust "allowances" accordingly and quickly. The instant funding once a request is approved makes it so much faster to make a purchase, if outside of the set parameters. Ramp travel offerings are sometimes unattractive, and we have found many flights, hotels, and car rentals by going to other platforms or the suppliers directly. Pricing is comparable, but many times it is cheaper to book outside of Ramp.

It is well suited and, I guess, is a primary role for remote or distributed teams - especially when you know a person not well to trust him in managing local costs was agreed to pay. If you work with contractors with irregular payments, it will suit you as well cause of immediate card transfer, but it may be limited by your local KYC policy. It is not typical to pay payroll costs with it because it is focused mostly on operations with virtual card balances, so it is less appropriate for it. So it works best for remote teams.

Ramp offers an exceptionally intuitive user interface with a clean, well-organized design. The platform demonstrates continuous improvement through regular feature enhancements and updates. New employee onboarding requires minimal training due to the platform's logical section-based layout and user-centric design, which facilitates rapid adoption and efficient navigation. Overall Ramp's interface and UI is very user friendly.

We moved to Ramp from Expensify at our accountant's advice. We went with her advice due to ease of use, ease of Quickbooks sync, ability to send reminders with one click, and more. We are very happy with the decision to switch to Ramp.

We found the results and returns with the Visa Spend Clarity were more positive than some other platforms. After researching competitors like, Data Card Wizard and Airwallex, we found the ease and comfort for our customers was more beneficial by using the Visa Spend Clarity application. The brand name helped ease the customer's concerns.

We receive 1.5% with Ramp, pay per number of cards annually (for Ramp Plus) to auto-lock cards and for additional features.
• Time savings for admin and employees has been significant due to ease of use.
