Multiple Brex business accounts
Overview
If you’re approved for a Brex business account, account admins can create up to 240 checking accounts, but you will only be able to have one vault and one treasury account under one EIN. The individual accounts will have unique account numbers but the same permissions as your primary account. They can be used to deposit funds for various reasons, including different categories of spending. Account admins can move funds instantly between checking accounts and transfer funds, subject to processing times, from their vault account to and from their checking accounts, or from their treasury account to and from checking accounts.
Limits
For Brex cards with daily payments, limits are based on the aggregate balance of your Brex business account across your primary checking, treasury, and vault accounts. Payments will be automatically pulled daily from your primary checking account balance first, with any necessary overdraft subsequently pulled from your treasury and vault accounts, in that order. For Brex cards with monthly payments, limits are based on the aggregate balance of your Brex business account across your primary checking, treasury, and vault accounts, as well as balances from connected external bank accounts.

Account admin permissions
Account admins approved for a Brex business account can have up to 240 separate checking accounts under one EIN, all with the same permissions. Permissions can be adjusted for all accounts from the Team tab of your Brex dashboard under Users.
