The interface is user friendly and the integration with Outlook to scan emails and attach receipts to matching transactions is a huge time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup is time-consuming and a tad confusing. A step-by-step video or collaboration with an implementation specialist would be helpful for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless International Payments, Needs Better Alerts"

4/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I like that PEX allows us to easily get cash to our international staff on the prepaid cards. I also appreciate how easy it is to fund the cards and monitor the spending. We are able to easily integrate it into our accounting with our custom categories and general ledger, which makes the process smooth and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I think the alerts could be better when cards reach a certain balance. It would also be helpful for users to request easier in the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thank you for the thoughtful review and for sharing how PEX is supporting your international staff payments and GL workflow, it's great to hear.

On your feedback: PEX does support configurable Low Balance Alerts (cardholders can set a threshold in Account → Notifications to get a push notification when a card drops below it) and in-app Funding, Spend Limit, and Card Unblocking Requests that cardholders can send to admins for approval. Your CSM will reach out shortly to make sure these are turned on and set up the way you want.

"Effortless Card Management with Quick Setup"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I love the ease of setup with PEX and how easy it is to navigate the portal. It's super quick to fund any card in our account with just a click of a button. The integration with QuickBooks also saves a ton of time administratively, and it's great that receipts and reimbursement requests can be sent directly from the app without needing to track down paper copies. The prompt and easy use of PEX helps solve issues quickly, providing peace of mind in potentially stressful situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I would say when we are funding cards from the cards tab, it would be nice to have a notes section appear to add what funds are being sent for. It would also be nice to have the ability to allow our drivers to pull cash off their cards, if we allow it. So, some kind of permission to be able for them to do this if card is not accepted. The ability to send ACH payments to our drivers would also be a helpful option or allowing us to reallocate funds from their card accounts to their personal bank account if needed. Some vendors don't accept cards, and cash is king Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thanks for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear setup has been quick, funding cards is easy for your team, and the QuickBooks integration and in app receipts are helping reduce administrative work and stress.

We also appreciate the candid feedback around notes, cash access, and alternative payment options. For situations where vendors do not accept cards or when individuals need to be reimbursed directly, our reimbursement feature may be a good fit. It allows you to reimburse individuals through PEX while still maintaining visibility and control. We have included a support article below on this feature but please reach out to adminsupport@pexcard.com if you want to learn more.

"User-Friendly with Stellar Features"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I love that PEX is extremely user-friendly and they are constantly making updates and improvements. My favorite feature is the digest email reminder, which allows me to reach out to multiple card-holders at once using different filters. The emails provide plenty of detail, so no further explanation is needed on my end, making it a great automated process. Adding new card-holders is a very easy process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I wish I could still check transactions as reviewed even if they do not include user notes or receipt attachments. The review status is how I know if I have entered a transaction into my spreadsheet for accounting purposes, so all transactions having an option for review (with or without receipts and/or notes) would be a helpful visual. Also, it is not automated with our ERP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

Thanks for taking the time to share this. It is great to hear the digest email reminders have been a strong fit for your workflow and that adding new cardholders has been straightforward.

We appreciate the thoughtful feedback on transaction review status and ERP automation. That kind of visibility is important for accounting processes, and input like this helps guide where we continue to improve. Thanks again for the detailed review and for sharing how your team uses PEX.

"Streamlined Financial Management, Needs Enhanced Bulk Loading"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I find PEX very easy to use and extremely user-friendly. It has lots of features that work well with QuickBooks, which we currently use for our financials. The integration between PEX and QuickBooks is almost seamless, making it very convenient for our operations. This integration is particularly important as it aids in monthly reporting and is just the easier form to use once you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I don't like that for bulk loading, we have to use a second app instead of having it integrated directly into PEX. It should just be built into PEX so you can do a bulk load without using an additional app. Also, there are some kinks in the system that need to be worked out, like how it pulls information. Sometimes a card gets declined, not because of money but due to other reasons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback. It is great to hear the QuickBooks integration has been helpful for reporting and that PEX has simplified disbursements for your team.

We appreciate you calling out the bulk loading experience and the issues you have seen with declines. Please reach out to us at adminsupport@pexcard.com so we can hear more about the kinks you are experiencing and take a closer look at what is happening. Thanks again for the thoughtful review and input.

"Efficient Card Management, Highly Recommended"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I like the simple way to find a card assigned to someone in PEX. You can search a name and find it easily, which is very helpful because we have over 100 cards, so there’s a lot to manage. Also, PEX works well in keeping track of receipts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

It does not have the capability to talk to our other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the feedback! We're glad PEX is making it easier to manage your 100+ cards and keep track of receipts.

We'd love to learn more about the other systems you'd like PEX to connect with. If you reach out to customersuccess@pexcard.com and let us know which integrations would be most helpful, we can share that feedback with our product team and make sure they're on our roadmap if we currently don't integrate with your systems.

"Efficient Fund Distribution, Quick Setup"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I like that PEX is fast in generating new credit cards. It allows us to have a flexible balance per credit card, and if we need to increase it at any time, it's easy to do that as well. Additionally, it keeps track of all the transactions that the company needs to make, so we can operate efficiently, in a good way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I wish that working with receipts and memos for the receipts after transactions were easier. After a transaction is made, we need to ensure that the cardholder sends back to PEX, the receipt and writes a memo about the transaction. This process is usually very manual and cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thanks for sharing this feedback. It is great to hear that creating cards, adjusting balances, and tracking transactions has been fast and flexible for your team.

We also appreciate the note around receipts and memos. If you have not already, features like Auto Enforcer and in app reminders can help reduce manual follow up by prompting cardholders to submit receipts and notes automatically. Input like this helps us continue to improve those workflows. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.
