| Global expense management | Local currency cards, reimbursements and ERP sync for multinational teams. |
Spend controls before a card transaction
Brex's spend limits can restrict merchants, categories, amounts and the period during which spending is allowed. Its purchasing-card product adds transaction-level approval flows and accounting-field mapping. brex.com
That lets a dealer group separate a recurring software charge from an employee's travel allowance instead of giving both the same card controls. The useful setup decision is which spending belongs to a person, a department or a particular supplier, followed by how that charge maps to the appropriate dealership entity and general-ledger account. brex.com
