Sync your Brex business account with other platforms
Overview
To best manage your company funds, you can link your Brex business account with various ecommerce and payroll softwares. You can do so by using your Brex business account details to connect from the dashboard of your desired platform. Other software cannot be linked directly from the Brex dashboard.
