FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my pre-revenue startup get RMO BizCharge?

RMO BizCharge uses bank-style underwriting that typically requires operating history and financials. For pre-revenue startups with cash on hand, Brex’s cash-based underwriting may approve where banks decline.

Does RMO BizCharge have native expense management?

RMO BizCharge integrates with major expense-management platforms (Expensify, Ramp, etc.) and exports to accounting software. Brex’s native expense module is more tightly integrated for those who want all-in-one.

Do I need to be an RMO member?

Active RMO Membership Club enrollment unlocks member-rate pricing. Application without membership may be possible but the main benefit comes from joining.

Can I have both Brex and RMO BizCharge?

Yes — many companies use Brex for card spend and RMO for banking + treasury. Both export to accounting platforms.

What about no-personal-guarantee?

Brex famously offers no-personal-guarantee corporate cards. RMO BizCharge underwriting varies; for smaller businesses or newer entities, personal guarantee may apply — ask during application.
