Fraud protection

Spend with confidence thanks to Brex’s advanced fraud monitoring and protection.

Fraud prevention

Brex can prevent fraud before it happens by ensuring that only authorized users can access accounts and make changes.

Account security

Secure browsing

Encryption

Our website uses industry-standard encryption to ensure protected transmission of data (HTTPS): AES-256 bit or better for RDS and S3 data encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.2 or better for transit.

Idle lockouts

Brex forces automatic signouts after inactivity to prevent unsanctioned access or use of the user’s account.

Security policy

Brex enforces a strict content security policy and iFrame protection to mitigate the threat of attacks such as ClickJacking.

Authentication

Secure ID and password

Brex enforces strong password requirements and supports mobile biometric authentication (Face ID/Touch ID).

Activity confirmation

Brex leverages both automated and manual review mechanisms to confirm account changes such as password resets.

Identity verification

Upon account creation, Brex customers are required to set up two-factor authentication so that even knowing a user's password is not enough to compromise their account.

Device verification

We require a one-time authorization for each browser on every device you use to sign in to Brex, which ensures that only your approved devices and IP addresses can access your Brex account.

Single Sign-On (SSO) integration

Brex Empower’s SSO feature enables a secure — yet seamless — login experience through Okta, OneLogin, Microsoft, Google Workplace, and more identity providers (IdPs).

How can I protect myself?

Protect your passwords

Choose strong, unique passwords, and store them in a password manager if possible. This can prevent fraudsters from gaining access to your online Brex account or linked email accounts and helps prevent ID theft.

Protect your card number

Only enter your card number in checkout on trusted sites. Never send your card number over email or other messaging platforms. Make sure you have an encrypted connection.

Be vigilant about suspicious requests

Brex will never ask you to divulge your personal information by email or text or ask for your full card number. Please do not click any unsolicited links or open any attachments. Contact Brex Support if you’re unsure about the legitimacy of a request.

Review your credit report

To protect against identity theft, check your credit report at a regular cadence to verify all actions were intended.

Monitor your transactions

Regularly review your transaction history to ensure all payments are expected and legitimate. If you suspect that someone has gained unauthorized access to your account, please change your Brex password immediately and contact Brex Support.

Keep contact information updated

Make sure your email and phone number are always up to date so that we can reach you immediately if we detect any suspicious activity.

Stay aware of scams

Fraudsters try to gain access to sensitive information like credit card numbers by posing as reputable sources. Avoid this by navigating directly to brex.com. If you encounter a scam such as a fake Brex website or ad, please report it to Brex Support immediately.

Update your devices

Updates often include the latest security features to protect your device.
