“Flexible and easy-to-use”
“Brex has the most tech-friendly approach of any corporate card I've used. Brex removes the need for expense reports, making my travel experience (and post-travel experience) much easier than the previous systems I'd used that required multiple apps and websites.”
“One less thing to think about!”
“Brex provides you with one place to track all expenses for the team. I have visibility into what I have spent and what my team has spent before submitting to finance. It is easy to drag and drop receipts into each item to show justification and add notes and categories to those items so we know where the money is going and on what.”
“Expenses made simple!”
“Brex is exceptionally useful when travelling; users have per diem expenses auto-approved with just a simple memo to explain what it is. With previous expense management tools, I would often spend 10+ hours working through my expenses after a week-long trip, with Brex I log memos as I go & haven't had to do any logging post my trips.”
