Corporate credit card and spend management platform for modern companies.

About Brex

Brex is a corporate credit card and spend management platform designed for growth companies. Finance teams use Brex to auto-sync card transactions and expenses to QuickBooks for accounting, set up Slack notifications for large purchases to track spending in real-time, and integrate with Bill.com to streamline accounts payable—eliminating manual expense entry and reconciliation.

How Brex Integrations Usually Work

Start with the implementation model, not the connector. We map each pair by intent so you can decide if native sync is enough or if this workflow needs stronger controls.

Brex — Common Questions

What does Brex integrate with natively?

Brex integrates natively with NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, and most major accounting/ERP tools. For expense management, Brex's built-in module replaces traditional tools like Expensify for many startups. HR integrations (BambooHR, Rippling, Gusto) handle employee provisioning.

Does Brex have an API for custom integrations?

Yes. The Brex Developer Platform covers transactions, users, cards, reimbursements, and budgets. Webhooks fire on transaction and policy events. For low-code use Make for routing transactions to Slack alerts or custom reporting tools.

How does Brex sync transactions with our accounting tool?

Native sync to QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and Sage Intacct posts transactions in near-real-time with GL coding from Brex's policy engine. The coding accuracy depends on how well your Brex policies are configured — vendors, categories, and departments need to be set up before transactions start flowing or they all land in a default account that someone has to recode.

How do I automate expense report approval and reimbursement in Brex?

Brex's built-in policy engine handles most approval flows — set a category, amount, or department rule, and routing happens automatically. For exceptions (route to different approvers by project, escalate above a threshold), use Make with the Brex webhook to post to Slack for ad-hoc approval before pushing the approval back to Brex via API.
