# Moving vendor spend to Brex cards Get answers to all of your questions regarding Brex **URL Source:** https://www.brex.com/support/moving-vendor-spend-to-brex-cards --- ## Overview Creating a dedicated card for each of your vendors is one of the easiest ways to control spending and simplify card management, because it lets you set granular spend controls on a per-vendor basis and manage each of their controls independently. For example, if you need to lock or replace one of your cards, it only impacts spend with one vendor, while you can continue to spend with all your other vendors as normal. Whether you’re a new Brex applicant or an existing customer, our team can help you transition your vendor spend to our platform and set up dedicated cards for each one. Here’s a one-minute tutorial: ![YouTube Video](https://youtu.be/bL1Q_GV5jiw?si=qIGlTmBQsYlhhOCI) ## Add vendors **Step 1: **Go to _Cards and Limits > Pay vendors by card_. **Step 2: **Under _Add vendors_, click _Upload card statement _and choose a file or_ Manually select vendors _to manually select vendors._ _We’ll assess your uploaded statement to determine which vendors can accept Brex cards for automatic payments. To transition vendor spend from another platform to Brex, upload a card statement from non-Brex platforms. If you already have your vendors established in your Brex account, but want to assign a dedicated vendor card to each, upload a Brex card statement. ## Create dedicated cards and update details Once you’ve added your vendors and Brex determines which vendors can put Brex cards on file for recurring payments, admins and any other users with the [specific product capability](https://www.brex.com/custom-roles) can create and apply a dedicated card to each vendor by clicking _Create card. _You can also assign an existing card by selecting the corresponding cardholder and spend limit or purchase card. **Step 1:** Go to _Cards and Limits_ and click _Pay vendors by card_. You’ll see an overview of all vendors added to your account, including their migration status and annual spend. **Step 2**: If you no longer need to migrate a vendor, click the trash icon to remove them. You can click _Add vendors _at the top of the page to add more vendors. **Step 3:** If you haven’t already, set up your account’s [auto-pay ](https://www.brex.com/paying-brex-statements)and [invite](https://www.brex.com/add-and-invite-users) any users who’ll be involved in the migration of the vendor spend. **Step 4:** Choose a user in the cardholder cell to create a card for them and task them to save the card details with the vendor. **Note: **This user should have access to the vendor login details to update the payment information. The cardholder can see the card in their _Wallet_ and will receive an email that asks them to update the vendor with the new card details. **Step 5: **We’ll automatically suggest a spend limit purchase card, which you can edit for that specific vendor. If you’re the cardholder, once you click _Create card_, we’ll create a new virtual card for that vendor. **Step 6:** Once the card is created, click _Update Vendor _to update your card information in your vendor portal. Some vendors require you to sign into your vendor portal and update your card details manually. **Note**: Admins and any other users with the [specific product capability](https://www.brex.com/custom-roles) can also delegate migration to another user by setting that user as the cardholder and clicking _Delegate _to create a card for that user. They’ll receive an email with instructions on how to update card details with the vendor. **Step 7: **Once completed, you can view the status in the _Status_ column. ## Maximize rewards on vendor payments If you use ACH/wire/check to pay some of your vendors, you can reach out to a Brex account representative.
