Our take
In recent years, companies like Ramp, Brex, Divvy, and others have emerged to provide easier ways for companies to allow their employees to pay for job-related expenses through corporate cards. However, none of these services really work for businesses operating automobile fleets - approximately 10% of B2B card spend in the US.
That’s where Coast comes in, offering a modern card issuing expense solution specifically built for fleets. The Coast card meets the demands of fleets-specific controls, security, and visibility, contributing to preventing fraud and unauthorized use. Its platform allows fleet managers to visualize spend, block or flag transactions for review, and set their own rules for card holders.
With good funding at its back, coast has been focussed on expanding the platform’s capabilities and offering a wider range of financial products - including serving parking, maintenance, and other on-the-road expenses on top of just fuel. Its Visa Fleet card program, that enables Coast Visa Fleet cardholders to make payments wherever Visa is accepted, makes it an attractive option in the market as fleet management continues to modernize.

- Transparency: We tell the whole truth whenever we can, speak up, and don’t shy away from challenging each other, empathetically.
- Obsession with customers: The customer is our north star, and that means we listen to what they have to say, constantly.
- Eagerness: Our curiosity to learn gives us confidence in innovation. We don’t have all the answers, or even all the right questions.
- Accountability: Everyone at Coast owns every company outcome and nobody lets a ball drop hoping someone else will catch it.
- Rigor: We follow through on quality commitments, and hold ourselves to promises with metrics and standards. Discipline enables agility.
- Scrappiness: We get creative on how to achieve goals within our means, spend money where needed and own and defend the decision.
- Speed: We are never satisfied with where we are and never sit still. We have a bias for action: plan, get it done. Velocity is our oxygen.
