To reduce the burden of adding memos and receipts to expenses, we’ve launched auto-receipt generation.

Brex will now automatically generate a receipt for employees at authorization time when they swipe their cards for certain merchants. These merchants include major airlines (e.g., United, American, Delta), AT&T, Fedex, USPS, and Amazon.

Split up an expense into multiple merchant categories, and it will update the corresponding GL accounts to automatically show up in your ERP.

For example, when an employee swipes a Brex card at a hotel with lodging and meal expenses in one transaction, the separate charges will be passed through 2 different policy rules and go to 2 separate GL accounts.

These budget-related actions are now possible in the Brex dashboard:

Request budgets

Employees can easily request new budgets for review by managers and admins. Once approved, they can start spending right away by mapping existing cards to that budget or creating a dedicated budget card.

Delete budgets

Budget owners and controllers can delete a budget that was erroneously created or no longer needed to ensure that it will no longer accept card transactions. They can terminate a budget to stop spending but have it remain searchable in the Brex dashboard.

Download the Brex browser extension for Chrome to view cards and upload receipts with one click.

It’s now even easier for employees to submit reimbursement requests and for managers to approve them.

• Submit reimbursement requests in bulk: Employees can submit multiple reimbursements under the same budget and memo at once.
• Approve reimbursements via the mobile app: In the app, managers will see reimbursement requests in the Tasks inbox and can either approve them or mark as reviewed.
• Easily make corrections to and resubmit denied reimbursements: Employees can create a draft with the previously denied reimbursement request details copied over.

Audit trail empowers accounting teams to be more efficient while also mitigating the risk of compliance issues and accounting errors.

After every card swipe or reimbursement submission, you can review how an expense navigated through an infinite combination of events before being exported to GL accounts. Events include:

• Budget mapping
• Policy reviews
• Itemizations
• Manual approvals
• Rejections
• Accounting categorization
• Payment
• Returns

The Brex Cash account now supports easy, automated bill pay. Here's how the Brex Cash account's new bill pay feature works:

• You can make scheduled or one-time payments to vendors through ACH, wire, or check.
• Brex won’t charge any payment transaction fees.
• You can auto-sync bill pay with Xero or QuickBooks to seamlessly close your books.

• Set up a Brex account for every employee by default.
• Keep employee details and expense approval flows correct across systems as you scale.
• Deactivate users from Brex and have their cards locked once they’re removed from your HR system.

We launched webhooks for the Brex API! Webhooks allow developers to receive real-time updates when their Brex data changes.

We currently support events for payment transfers and account referral status changes. Be on the lookout for more event types, such as pending card transactions, coming soon.

Our Zapier app supports these webhook events as triggers, so customers can set up actions whenever an event happens.

Check out the Webhooks guide in our developer docs to get started.

Your Brex business account now allows you to create up to 7 sub-accounts to better manage your cash flow.

In response to feedback, we have built an All Cards tab in your Brex dashboard (vs. separate tabs for vendor cards, your cards, and employee cards). The new All Cards tab builds on the former All Vendor Cards tab, bringing that same level of control to all corporate cards, both physical and virtual. The result: a single page for admins to view and manage all the cards at your company.

So many of our customers use Slack to collaborate, so we built a Slack integration to help you manage your Brex account and expenses right in the Slack interface.

For greater security, when you log into the Brex dashboard from a new device (or if you’ve cleared your web history), you'll receive a verification email to confirm it's you. Within the email, you can allow permission just once (recommended if you’re on a shared device) or select to add the device to your trusted devices for one year. Learn more on email verification here.

We’ve updated the Brex mobile app so that account admins can find and approve their team’s payments faster. Requests could be hard to find in the past because they were nested in the transactions tab. Now it’s very easy to identify payments needing approval. Make sure your Brex app is updated.
