For 10+ years, I used to block 2 Saturdays a month to do my expense reports with all the work travel I did, even with the privilege of having amazing exec assistants helping to take care of my travel & expenses. Sitting with my AmEx card statement, a bag full of receipts and Concur tabs open, I got to 70-80% coverage as I wasn’t sure what was in policy to get reimbursed. That is a lot of time that could have been better spent elsewhere. Let’s be honest. Most corporate cards aren’t very smart. They are simply transactional and there’s no context – they don’t know your expense policy, whether you pre-approved the expense, or even who is swiping the card. They do nothing to help you control and track spending, and they usually require manual reporting and receipts. This is why I am passionate about building the smartest corporate card on the planet here at Brex. 🤓 What makes Brex cards so smart, and why should finance leaders care? First, Brex cards make it easy to control spend *before* it happens. You simply issue spend limits to teams or individuals and embed your policy (setting rules per transaction, vendor,  etc). #BrexAI auto-enforces your controls at every card swipe and tracks it all in real time. That’s half the battle won right there. Then, it’s about using card transaction data to automate expense and accounting workflows and yield new insights. With each swipe, no matter where in the world it happens, data feeds back into Brex in real time to auto generate receipts, memos, categories, even GL codes. Compliant expenses are approved automatically, and anomalies get flagged for review. If you want to nerd out on how the Brex card can help you make every dollar count, check out our Definitive Guide to Corporate Cards. And for those wondering, yes - I’ve loved having my Saturdays back 😀 https://lnkd.in/gr76c96n

I recently learned why in-person relationships are crucial to closing 7-figure sales deals. Here’s the story: I went to a Brex-hosted dinner in NYC last week. It wasn’t just another networking event—it was a masterclass in the art of genuine relationships. That’s where I met Ilias B.. He’s part of a new team of Relationship Managers that consistently goes above and beyond for their clients. I learned about how Brex is approaching customer obsession, in a way I’ve never seen before. Ilias and his team have created a new cadence with their accounts that takes relationships to the extreme — on-site check-ins, conversations outside of work, doubling down on empathy. His connections extend far beyond the deal, influencing customer success, marketing, and other parts of the business. They create trust that resonates across departments, stakeholders, and time. That’s directly led to 7-figure deals for Brex. Since we met, Ilias has been offering help with anything, even things outside of Brex. We even grabbed coffee today to chat about all things Brex & Centralize. That level of commitment is rare. Brex truly gets it. They know that in-person connections are the secret sauce to long-lasting business relationships. That’s why we’re proud to be one of their customers. 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥. The best sales reps know this. From the first interaction to long after the deal is closed, how you manage relationships shapes both your and your brand’s reputation. It's what sets you apart from an ever-growing crowd. At Centralize (YC W24), we share this belief deeply. We know that strong relationships aren’t just a bonus — they’re the foundation of success. That’s why we’re focused on turning everyone in your revenue team into a Relationship Manager, in seconds. Curious, how do you build meaningful relationships during the sales cycle?

Upcoming webinar alert: 📆 September 11th 🕰️ 11:00am PT / 2pm ET Join us for our monthly product demo to see how Brex not only lets you control spend before it happens, but empowers teams to spend with confidence (and compliance). Register below!

When validating the idea for Brex, whether or not people wanted cards wasn’t a question. How we could properly execute issuance was. There was no Marqeta or Stripe Issuing. Anyone who wanted to issue cards had to build the technology from the ground up. So, early on, we built from scratch on Mastercard’s rails. As the company progressed, we built it on our own. Today, I feel it’s one of our superpowers. Because we own the stack end-to-end, we can offer a far better customer experience. This includes issuing cards in any country where you have employees and paying bills in other currencies with no FX fees. If we didn’t, and instead pieced together various tech from other vendors, the customer experience would be fragmented—especially for companies operating globally (which are more important than ever right now). TL;DR: Being vertically integrated (i.e. owning the entire stack) gives us an edge on cases where financial infrastructure truly matters. That edge manifests in the customer experience.
