What is Brex?

Traditional banking makes it hard to move money the way businesses want, but Brex Sign allows users to sign up for a cash management account and corporate cards in one account. With it, Brex states users can focus less on busywork and more on the big picture with built-in tools and integrations to track spend, earning points on every card purchase, with live support.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
What we initially thought was a simpler alternative to a corporate credit card turned out to be so much more. Initially deployed amongst a small cohort of employees - the Brex program quickly rolled out through our entire organization. It simply is the best software product I have encountered in the last five years. Intelligently designed, amazing marketing and a wide spectrum of features - it now is an integral part of our operations portfolio. American Express should watch out - Brex is the future!
Pros
  • Reward points on all spend - especially on software as a service (SaaS) which is a large source of expenditure for our business
  • Expense management system which allows us to intelligently manage all employees
  • Dynamic expense limits to adjust expenditure based on seniority, time of year, tenure etc.
  • Fantastic mobile app to monitor usage and upload notes/receipts
  • Great travel booking system - something we haven't fully utilized yet
Cons
  • This is unusual but I struggle to write con's - everything has been seamless so far
  • Perhaps they could improve the UI/UX for uploading receipts when there are multiple photos
Likelihood to Recommend
Brex is suited to any forward thinking organization. You shouldn't consider any other bank, credit card or institution. I wouldn't be surprised if American Express has already placed a take over offer for the company. I think the card is especially good for a Series B company moving towards later stages of funding as levels of expenditure dramatically increase and such spending can be hard to monitor and control.
Return on Investment
  • Realized return on all expenditure through points where previously this wasn't seen at all in the business
  • Ease of use and general increase in employee satisfaction. It would typically take one full day to lodge expenses at previous companies - now it takes a matter of seconds
  • Access to credit at an affordable rate
Alternatives Considered
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.
Support Rating

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

A Corporate Credit Card That Delivers

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Brex has replaced our previous credit card and has enabled us to expand the program quickly to new departments and individuals who did not previously have a card. The card is used to manage recurring charges, book travel by our leaders, and process invoices for small vendors that are too small for our AP team to manage. Since adopting Brex in mid-2019, we have quickly expanded our credit card program from 3 individuals to approximately a dozen users. The main business problem it addresses is improved rewards for our credit card transactions, a simple interface enabling us to easily see charges, and an intuitive UI that makes it easy for our cardholders to add receipts when they record a charge. We are also using Brex for Virtual cards limiting the risk that one card will be compromised and enabling us to shut us off a vendor easily if we begin a recurring plan.
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
  • Integrations - Currently Brex integrations are limited to Quickbooks, NetSuite, & Expensify. Our Company utilizes Intacct which requires that we manually upload the transactions each month. We have simplified the process as best we can but this still creates an additional manual process for our team to manage.
  • Approvals - Brex does not have any approvals within the platform. Our Finance team is very small so it's not possible for us to actively track charges and ensure that each charge is approved. Their is a risk to the organization however this is mitigated somewhat by the simple ability to set card limits which at least limits the potential damage a rogue employee can do.
Likelihood to Recommend
Brex is well suited for organizations that are comfortable providing card users with a great deal of autonomy to manage their card spend. Due to the limited approvals within the system, all reviews of spend are after charges have already been paid and processed which can create risks. However, the ease of utilizing the card and the ability to easily manage card limits makes the card an attractive option for any organization. The rewards are especially appealing and Brex also codes each transaction for you identifying whether the charge is for restaurants, airlines, recurring software, etc. Brex may be less appropriate for companies with cash flow issues. The Brex account is linked to a company's bank account which results in the credit line for the organization fluctuating based on the cash balance of the bank accounts. The card is also automatically paid each month which may pose an issue for some organizations if they have to manage cash closely.
Return on Investment
  • Since adopting Brex, we have received approximately $20K of rewards which have been used for company-wide events. These rewards would not have been available on our previous card
  • Spend management - The increased adoption of the card across our organization has enabled business areas to own their spend more directly. Previously, all recurring charges were processed on a card managed by the Finance team. While this simplified the process, it also meant that if the card was compromised, the Finance team had to reenter the new card on all vendors. Currently, each business area manages its own charges allowing for more direct management of spend.
Support Rating
9
Brex support has been responsive whenever I have had a question. Users can contact them through the help screen when logging in or send emails. They have answered my questions quickly and always provide the information that I need to solve my issue. I have not had to work with support frequently as there are very few problems we've encountered with the cards.
