Brex is a spend-management platform for companies, with tools for setting policies, automating expense work, and tracking budgets. Policies can be tailored by use case, level, department, or entity, with selected categories or merchants blocked or routed for approval. Expense automation can collect documents, prepare memos, fill in fields, assign departments and GLs, and match receipts using OCR in different languages and currencies. Live Budgets lets department heads allocate spending to people or teams and monitor usage; Brex AI can flag anomalous activity. Accounting features include QuickBooks and NetSuite integrations, plus suggested GL coding rules and mappings. Employees can be reimbursed in local currency and bank accounts across 40 countries, with no per-transaction reimbursement fees. The mobile app supports expense tracking, travel booking and management, spend-limit requests, and payments. Brex lists thousands of native integrations.
