The receipt uploading is very streamlined. I love that you can get a text to upload a receipt from your phone if needed. No need to go searching for the Brex app and pulling it up manually.
The reminders for uploading receipts is a little too much. I would get a text right after I charged something even though our policy to upload gives us a few weeks.
Solving uploading receipt issues. Saves us users a bunch of time.
Dynamic Flex Spending Limits are great! I love the automated texts once a charge is initiated. It helps track and monitor spending. Online portal is a breeze to use.
Not much so far. I haven't had to use support so I don't know if they are as helpful as some of the other card companies.
Great at categorizing expenses and the online portal is great for my accounting and payable team.
1. Virtual card connected to Apple Pay 2. Great function of build-in scanner for the receipts 3. The reminders and notifications 4. the slack bot 5. OTP via sms
The accidental blockings - I need to go to the my dashboard and to unblock the account
I use the Brex service for travel expenses management and the recurrent payments tracking
The service is really simple (on the side of the user). You get issued by your company a card, you fill in the info on a web portal, and it gets fedex-ed to you. It is very easy also to get a digital card. You can add notes and receipts to every single purchase. I don't have much more to say, it just works!
Really, nothing that I dislike about Brex. They use to notify me after using the card both by text and app notification, that was a bit annoying, but there are settings you can adjust in your user portal, so it's all good.
At my company, we used to have to expense work related purchases after the fact. Since we use Brex, it's now very simple, you get a card, a limit, and mutual trust about what you can do with it, and *voilà*
The interface is so simple and clean. I get text notifications when transactions need memos and in less than 2 minutes - I'm able to complete the task! I love that I can set team budgets and no longer have to manually log transactions in spreadsheets anymore.
I am still in a partial rollout for my company, so not all the Brex features are available to me yet. That should change once the rollout is complete.
I no longer need to manually track my team's spend in spreadsheets!
Brex is so easy to navigate. I like that I can easily access all types of reports, and break them down to really see where spending occurs.
I dislike that Brex lowered the limit of my company's credit card.
Brex is solving the problem of breaking down our spend and seeing how much rewards points we earned in each category. I can easily navigate the reports to get what I need within 5-10 minutes,
Brex makes it easy to manage the cards issued to the staff. I can adjust the spending limits based on the job description. Brex seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks. I also appreciate the support available.
I can't come up with a downside. We have no annual fees, no interest, and the rewards are as competitive as any other provider
Brex gives me a great platform to manage our expenses. They also make it easy if a charge needs to be disputed
Brex has allowed our business to execute on corporate cards for all departments, manage expenses and policies through automation
Payment application takes 72 hours which isn't ideal for business w/ large OPEX and low lines
User friendly business dashboard to manage all business OPEX for all departments
Brex is extremely convenient and makes my least favorite task, processing expense reports, painless to get through. The convenience of the app, and the ability to upload the receipts via the phone so you enter it before you lose the receipt makes it very accessible for people that are neurodivergent.
Sometimes organizations split an expense,it would be great if Brex provided an ability to do so on the front end, making life for our accounting department easier.
It's easy to collect points and create expense reports for the company as well as have visiblity into spending.
Brex is an excellent application for managing cash and distributing payments across various vendors. I especially find the search feature to be helpful when data mining, and the seamless integration with my accounting software is also fantastic.
So far the only thing really lacking in Brex is a simple and effective way to confirm payment when vendors request proof of payment. Customer service is a little clunky but they do a great job getting back to you.
Brex just makes my AP/payment process simple, and they have recently introduced higher FDIC insurance and greater yield return on there MMA product which has been great.
