“Every startup should use Brex”
“It's easy to integrate, intuitive to use, and professionally tracks expenses for cash and credit. All while integrating into out accounting software. Throw in the rewards program and it's a no-brainer...”
“Awesome”
“Brex makes creating a business account seamless and efficient. No unnecessary fees. Having a dedicated customer service rep is incredible. The ability to use it worldwide with 0 foreign transaction fees, international shipping cards to team members, virtual cards, and excellent spend management makes tracking spending easy.”
“Cash flow for startups”
“Brex is the only company that would offer us credit, and for that I'm grateful. They give us the flexibility we need to grow the business by buying things today that we’ll be able to pay back in most cases less than a week. Traditional banks don’t care to understand my business and just decline, Brex gets startups.”
