Why we built invoicing into your Brex business account.

For founders, managing cash flow is everything. That's why Brex has reimagined business banking to work at startup speed — keeping what works from traditional banks and fixing what doesn’t. You can open checking and treasury accounts in minutes, earn high yields with no minimums, and move money fast with same-hour liquidity.

But strong cash flow also depends on how quickly money comes in. That's why we've built powerful invoicing directly into the Brex business account, eliminating the need for fragmented systems that slow startups down. Here’s how we approached the problem and how Brex protects founders’ two most important resources: time and money.

Taking a first-principles approach to invoicing.

When we set out to build invoicing, the feedback from founders was clear: they were tired of tools that were expensive, clunky, and barely automated — charging fees for basic functionality without delivering real value. Plus, when invoicing is disconnected from your bank account, it creates a costly middleman that delays payments and disrupts cash flow. And because these tools aren’t integrated into your broader financial stack, they often leave teams manually reconciling data and are prone to costly errors.

Startups shouldn’t be paying more to get paid later — especially not while juggling manual work and disconnected systems. But that’s exactly the problem with traditional invoicing tools: they sit between you and your money, introducing delays, extra costs, and friction.

So with the above in mind, we built invoicing right into the Brex business account. No separate solution to pay for, set up, and log into every time you need to send an invoice or track a payment. Just a direct connection between invoicing and banking to bring more speed, visibility, and automation to your accounts receivable (AR).

What sets Brex invoicing apart.

Brex invoicing takes finance busywork off your plate so you can focus on building. It’s the same approach we took to accounts payable — integrating AI-powered bill pay into our banking and corporate cards to save founders time and effort.

The result? Real-time visibility into your cash flow and greater command over your time and money, without all the work. With Brex invoicing, you get the same great control, transparency, ease of use, and speed for incoming payments that you already enjoy with outgoing payments. And the benefits are clear:

Faster payments

Because invoicing is embedded in your Brex business account, there's no intermediary to slow down your payments. So you get paid 1 to 3 days faster when you use Brex invoicing — even faster when you bill another Brex customer who pays using their Brex business account, a significant advantage with one in three US startups using Brex. Those recipients simply open an email link and pay through Brex bill pay without entering additional information. Since funds are already with Brex, we simply move balances from one account to another for even faster payment processing.

Automatic reconciliation

Startups tell us a top AR pain point is manually matching payments received to invoices sent. Brex does it for you automatically, saving hours of tedious work each week. When payments arrive, they're instantly matched to the correct invoice with detailed records of payment dates and methods, eliminating error-prone manual tracking and improving cash flow visibility.

Automated workflows

Using invoicing embedded in your Brex business account gives you more ways to automate previously manual processes. With email reminders, recurring invoices, and invoice statuses that auto-update, you’ll no longer have to spend time chasing payments and manually updating invoices.

Increased visibility

Consolidating invoices and banking in one place makes it easy to see your true cash position across payables and receivables, forecast more accurately, and make better-informed decisions for your startup.
