"Flexible Online Access with Custom Permissions for Team Transactions"

4/5

What do you like best about PEX?

Having access online for to see the transactions of our team, with the flexibility and ability to set permissions individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

Can't easily zoom in and navigate to review receipts from a browser. The "window" is small so being able to see more of the receipt at the same time is not an option. And in the Transaction list, if you open a receipt you can't zoom in at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear that PEX is giving your team the flexibility and visibility you need to manage transactions and individual permissions.

We also appreciate the feedback around viewing receipts. One helpful tip is that if you click "Edit" on a receipt, you can zoom in and out. That said, it might be a good idea to bring this same functionality directly into the "View" option would make the experience even better, and we'll share that suggestion with our team.

Since contact details weren't provided with the review, we don't have a way to reach out directly with updates. If you'd like, please email customersuccess@pexcard.com so we have your information and can keep you posted.

Thanks again for helping us continue to improve PEX!

"Streamlines Church Finances with Ease"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I appreciate PEX for its ease of use in financial reporting and tracking of expenses. I like that it allows spending without needing users to put money out before they spend. The scheduled reporting feature is especially valuable as it saves me time by providing reports in an easy-to-use format. I find it easy to transfer funds to the cards, which is essential for meeting the financial needs of different ministries in the church. The integration and ease of use are just right for my needs, and the initial setup was simple and quick, including funding of the account, user setup, and administration.

If you ever want to take things a step further, features like Auto Enforcer and tagging can help automate receipt collection and make reporting even more structured and timely.

"PEX Simplifies Media Production Finances"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I use PEX for my entertainment show, short vertical dramas, and media commercials, and it really helps my line producers and unit program managers access money efficiently when everyone's busy on set. I appreciate how it allows our employees and production team to work separately and efficiently. The feature that lets us see all the expenses on the card and sort them by different categories in the PEX app is extremely helpful. Also, the initial setup was easy, which I really liked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

It could be better if we could use it for renting cars and other usage where our card is not available to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

We’re thrilled to hear that PEX has helped your production team manage expenses efficiently and keep operations running smoothly on set. It’s great to know the expense tracking, categorization features, and easy setup have been valuable for your workflows. We also appreciate your feedback around rental car purchases. Based on your needs, Credit Expense could be a great fit, as it supports purchases like rental cars where prepaid cards may not be accepted.

"PEX Makes Transaction Tracking and Card Management Effortless"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

The most helpful thing about PEX is how it organizes every transaction. And it also gives transparent statements that helps keep our records organized. I also love the way PEX allows us to order multiple cards at once in one single batch. It is very easy to implement throughout our organization. There is also the ease of integration such as making cards for each vendor and keep them in a list whenever we need them to purchase any goods or services. The customer support is also great all team support are very helpful and friendly whenever we have any questions regarding our account or the different uses that we can implement on our logistics. Our organization frequently uses PEX whether it be for fuel for our equipment or to purchase materials and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

One downside of PEX is that funding can take a while to transfer to the account. In an emergency, our organization needs a fast way to fund certain services or purchase materials right away so operations can continue without interruption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PEX solving and how is that benefiting you?

PEX has helped us improve the way we organize our transactions by keeping track of the dates for each one and generating reports for our organization. It also helps us keep our departments within their capped budgets. On top of that, it supports employee accountability, since we can quickly spot and address any questionable purchases that show up in our account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamline Expense Management for Nonprofits"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I really like the low fees of PEX as other platforms charge fees that don't work well for cash flow, especially for small nonprofits like ours. The staff at PEX are excellently trained; everyone I have spoken to has expert-level knowledge of the platform, even the salespeople. I've talked to a lot of salespeople in my career about software, and PEX's staff are clearly well-prepared. Additionally, I appreciate the low level of upselling, which makes the experience more comfortable. The initial setup of PEX was very easy, and on a scale from 1 to 10, I would definitely recommend PEX to others and give it a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Receipts, Notes, and GL Tags in One Place—Plus Helpful Updates Like Auto Enforcer"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I like that my receipts and notes are all in one place. I also really like the updates, such as Auto Enforcer, and the fact that I can add GL codes as tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I have 9–10 PEX accounts that I reconcile, and they don’t all have the same reports available for each account. It would be nice if there was a uniformity in the reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PEX solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was having issues getting cardholders to reconcile their accounts in a timely manner. I would start making my entries in PEX, only to find that a user still hadn’t finished uploading receipts or adding notes about the purchase. With auto enforcer, users are prompted to reconcile their transactions on time, which has helped keep things moving more consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

Thanks for sharing this. We are glad to hear Auto Enforcer is helping keep reconciliations moving and that having receipts, notes, and GL tags in one place has been valuable for your workflow.
