Brex, the corporate credit card that accelerates entrepreneurs and scaling businesses, announced a first-of-its-kind integration with Rippling, the all-in-one employee management system that centralizes payroll, benefits, computer, and app management for businesses. This integration makes Rippling the first HR platform that allows companies to automatically issue corporate cards to new employees as part of their onboarding process, and automatically disable cards during their offboarding process, making corporate card management easier and reducing the administrative burden across teams.

“By combining the ingenuity of Rippling’s automated employee onboarding with Brex’s instant signup and card issuance technology, companies can easily scale their payments programs, reduce manual workflows, and increase control,” said Henrique Dubugras, co-founder and co-CEO of Brex.
With the new integration, companies using Rippling can automatically issue both virtual and physical Brex credit cards to new hires and contractors, as well asset up their payroll, health insurance, computers, and more. This not only improves the employee onboarding experience, but also improves operational efficiency by seamlessly coordinating corporate credit card management policies across the HR, IT, and finance departments.
“Brex’s focus on simplifying corporate expenses with technology mirrors Rippling’s approach to HR & IT. With this new integration, companies that use Rippling can improve employees’ onboarding experience while reducing administrative busywork,” added Parker Conrad, Founder and CEO, Rippling.

Additionally, by using Brex and Rippling together, companies benefit from enhanced control over their corporate card program. Companies can establish a set of criteria to pre-determine which employees or employee types are issued a corporate card, and then automatically apply this policy for each new hire. Card policy management also extends to changes in employee status, such as transfers and title changes. Added controls also include the ability to automatically lock or suspend cards when employees or contractors offboard to quickly mitigate potential liability.
“The ability to seamlessly provision corporate credit cards in a way that is integrated with our overall approach to onboarding, payroll and information technology is a 10x process improvement for our finance and people teams, and our employee base at large,” said Pradeep Elankumaran, Co-Founder & CEO at Farmstead, a new online-only grocer.
