With 1,000s of software integrations, Brex is the largest modern corporate card platform, helping businesses scale and fuel growth.

Brex has adapted to the changing market by expanding the size of the businesses it serves, now covering all companies from startups to enterprises. It's over 20,000 customers are based in 100+ countries, resulting in the company processing tens of billions of dollars in transactions.

The company has raised significant capital, most prominently a debt financing round of $260 million in 2024, and reached a valuation of $12.3 billion in 2022. With the landscape of companies clamoring to meet financial needs increasing by the day, Brex is well set to see continued growth.
