Brex
Business cards, expense management, and bill pay with a free base plan.
Overview
Brex's Essentials plan is free. It covers global card acceptance, automated expense rules, bill pay, reimbursements, and accounting connections for up to two entities, with no per-seat fee.
Cards carry per-employee and per-vendor spend controls. Expenses match to receipts automatically, and rules can flag or auto-approve transactions based on merchant category, amount, or internal policy. Bill pay handles invoice upload, approval routing, and payment execution. Brex works with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and major HRIS platforms.
The Premium plan at $12 per user per month adds customisable expense policies, dynamic approval chains, AI compliance detection, multi-entity support, and deeper ERP and HRIS connections. Enterprise pricing covers unlimited entities, local card issuance in more than 50 countries, and dedicated implementation support. A separate Smart Card product targets global businesses that need custom card programmes.
Brex has an accountant partner directory but does not publish referral fees publicly. Firms interested in the programme apply through the Brex partner portal to get rate specifics. Brex is primarily US-based but issues cards globally for international businesses.
