Brex has reached $700M in total annualized revenue, growing 50%, and is on track to profitability.
The past 2 years have been transformative: sharper focus, higher standards, stronger culture.
Now growth is accelerating again, with our move into Europe being just one step on the journey.
This is the new @brexHQ. Thanks @GeorgeNHammond & @FinancialTimes for the feature. Link below.

PDFs suck.
We just raised $17,000,000 in funding to fix this problem once and for all.
Extend is building the modern document processing cloud.
See how Brex, Square, Checkr, and Fortune 500s use it to process millions of documents:

Our Spring Release is the best one we've done yet. It's our highest quality bar, fastest output, and builds on a track record of delivering what we say, when we say it.
Our culture has shifted over the past year to be one of building over talking, ownership over diffusion of responsibility, and leaning into the hardest problems head on.
This shift isn’t just about shipping faster—it’s about a culture that compounds. This release, more than any other, is proof of that. And we’re just getting started.

Today, I’m thrilled to unveil @brexHQ 's 2025 Spring Release 🌱, bringing a whole new level of customization and control to every Brex user, from founders to finance teams. It’s our fourth major release since Brex 3.0, and we continue to relentlessly raise the bar for quality and polish. Here’s a preview – I can’t wait for you to try it! ➡️ New custom fields: Now the data from your business systems syncs natively with Brex, so you can use any field from your ERP or HRIS to provision cards, change your policy, or automate accounting. ➡️ New custom roles: Customize user roles to match how you operate, giving teams exactly the permissions they need to do their jobs efficiently and securely. ➡ New AI policy engine: Create one universal policy with scenario-specific rules for departments, levels, entities, countries, and more using AI. Brex will intelligently apply it to every transaction — from bill payments to cards. ➡️ New admin home: Monitor your key financial metrics, such as balances, changes in cash flow, spend insights, and rewards, in one place — and take any action you need on Brex with one click. ➡️ New invoicing: We’ve also built easy invoicing right into your Brex business account! Send invoices, track payments, and get paid even faster if your customer pays you from their own Brex business account ;) 💸 ➡️ AI-assisted vendor management: Automate TIN/W-9 collection using AI and have everything you need to file taxes when it’s time. And these are just a few of the 50+ updates in the 2025 Spring Release 🔥. Check it out! ⤵️

Design at @brexHQ : the orange hue you see is the approve button for a payment. And no, there is no more scroll left on the page to get to it.

@morganlinton Great to have you on board, Morgan! Curious which Brex features you’re loving most for your team? Dropped you a DM to chat more and see where we can add more value

Can anyone tell me why I’d want to use Ramp over Brex?
Currently use Brex and have no real complaints, at the same time can’t say I’m fanatical about it in any way.
Keep hearing more and more about Ramp but don’t know how it’s different, esp for a sub-50 person co.
Anyone have a compelling reason why I’d want to switch? 🙋♂️

@jayparth_ are any of these serious companies?
why would anyone choose these fintech companies over the major banks or the us treasury?
especially post SVB.

@_anniexue can run a master class in how to co-design with customers and that means our customers not only get insane value, but also love @brexHQ even more. Couldn't be more proud to have her on the Brex Design team!

When people ask how I pivoted from MPA > product designer, my advice was always: "I'm not the best accountant or the best designer — but always the best designer amongst accountants, and the best accountant amongst designers." Found my niche @brexHQ 🧡

@mattbango Great stuff. Would love to read more about the transition.

1/4 - In Brex 3.0, we made a bold bet: Design moved to report directly to the CEO, and I joined the leadership team as the Chief Design Officer. This shift ignited a transformation—not just in Design but across Brex.
