Overview
Premium Enterprise P-card
Conferma is a payments platform that connects businesses and suppliers for digitized commerce. In the travel space, Conferma connects with more than 700 travel management companies, all the major global distribution systems and over 100 online booking solutions to integrate virtual cards into point of sale. Brex’s integration with Conferma allows your travel management company to provision Brex virtual cards for hotel bookings and other travel spend on your employees’ behalf. Conferma acts as an intermediary platform between Brex and your travel management company. Conferma will generate the virtual card programmatically using Brex APIs. Once generated, the card details and transaction history will also be visible on the Brex dashboard under the relevant account or card admin’s account.
Setup instructions
To generate an API Access token as an account or card admin, please follow these instructions: You will need to set up one API token per country (and currency) that you want to use with Conferma. For information about supported countries and currencies, contact your Brex representative. Step 1: Sign in to your dashboard and go to Settings > Developer. Step 2: Click Create token.
Step 3: Name the API Token “[Entity + Currency] via Conferma.” Step 4: Select these permissions under Team:
- Users: Read
- Cards: Read/Write
- Card numbers: Read
Step 5: Select these permissions under Transactions:
- Card transactions: Read
Step 6: Select these permissions under Budgets:
- Budgets: Read/Write
Step 7: Select these permissions under Expenses

Step 8: Click Create token and then Allow access. Step 9: Save the token in a secure location and reach out to your Implementation Consultant or Customer Success Manager for a secure link to share the API token. Don’t send the token info over email. Step 10: Your Implementation Consultant or Customer Success Manager will be in touch to complete your setup and training When you create a virtual card using the Conferma integration, it will automatically appear in the Brex dashboard, nested under a procurement budget that will be created for you. That's it — no further action is required.
Avoiding duplicate transactions
Brex automatically prevents exporting transactions to your ERP directly if they were created through the Conferma virtual card method. This is done by marking transactions made through the virtual card as ineligible for export. If you’d prefer to make all transactions available for export from Brex, please reach out to us at Brex Support.
