"PEX Makes Company Credit Card Management Effortless"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

PEX provides a user-friendly portal that makes managing our company's credit cards incredibly easy. Whether it's adding new cards or categorizing transactions, PEX helps our company save both time and money every day. Our onboarding customer support representative ensured that implementing PEX into our daily operations was a seamless transition. The integration between PEX and our accounting software, QuickBooks, makes using our credit cards even more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

The only downside to PEX was transferring all of our recurring transactions from our old credit company while closing it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pex Solved 7 years of passing around credit cards, receipt tracking, and phone sales,"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

That you can order cards as you need them for new staff, if someone leaves, you can just de-activate the card. That is a certain level of protection and comfort my business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

Once I accidentally closed/deleted all the cards, It was a stupid mistake, but was too easy to make. They couldn't just turn them back on, once they are closed you have to order all new cards with all new numbers. This is a very shallow dislike because I really had to think of something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves the needs for individual credit cards for individual managers, as well as managing a line of credit, and receipt/expense collection and reporting. With this system it doesn't matter how many managers we issue cards to because we are able to control the cash that flows to them and put spend rules on the cards. Then it is super easy to photograph and upload your receipts as soon as you make a transaction. It has saved hours of my time tracking down receipts as well as worrying if cards are being misused, or if an employee leaves having to track down that credit card.

Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful review. We're glad to hear that PEX has brought your team peace of mind and made managing cards, receipts, and spending so much easier. Being able to issue and deactivate cards quickly is one of the key ways we help teams stay flexible and secure.

Thanks again for being a customer and for taking the time to share your experience.

"Effortless Expense Management with Real-Time Visibility"

4/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I like the real-time visibility and user-friendly platform of PEX. The app is simple enough for users who aren't tech-savvy, and the real-time visibility aids in budget forecasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

I don't like the custom report generation for settled transactions and the inability to see the history of digest reminders sent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're glad the admin customization is making weekly reconciliation smoother for you. Sounds like you're getting the most out of the platform — and those receipt reminder prompts can definitely help keep your team on track.

"Flawless Expense Management, Highly Recommended"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

I use PEX for corporate expense management, and I like its ease of use. It helps control spend and tracks expenses efficiently. PEX works great and its reports integrate well with our accounting software. The initial setup was very easy, and I'd rate my likelihood of recommending it a 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

Limited reporting flexibility and occasional delays or friction in transaction categorization and receipt matching make deeper analysis and reconciliation more time-consuming than it should be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thanks for the thoughtful review and for the strong recommendation. We are glad to hear PEX has been easy to set up and helpful in controlling spend and keeping expenses in sync with your accounting system.

"Great resource for team spending"

5/5

What do you like best about PEX?

This has reduced my time processing reimbursements significantly. It gives our employees more flexibility when buying company items. They don't have to go out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. I use PEX cards at 2 different organizations that I work with. Highly recommended!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

The auto funding has limited options. It only offers auto funding on certain days.The sync between scheduled transfers & scheduled card funding is not clean. I would prefer to transfer on the last day of the month, then autofund on the first day of the month. When it tries to do both, some cards don't get funded...then I get phone calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

We're so glad PEX is helping you save time on reimbursements and making it easier for your team to make purchases without waiting to get paid back. We’ve shared your feedback with our product team to explore future enhancements. One suggestion that might help is using auto card funding along with daily or monthly spend rules to better control timing.

"Great Product however customer support is slow to provide resolution"

4/5

What do you like best about PEX?

We love how easy the receipt capture and tag coding is. We were preparing expense reports for each person with a credit card prior to using PEX. This is a huge time saver for our staff and admin support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PEX?

The least helpful are the support team when we have integration issues. We have had multiple integration issues with Quickbooks desktop. As of today we cannot close our June books. An internal ticket was filed on 7/10 for this issue. Communication has been very poor in resolving this issue. This has occurred on multiple occasions since we joined July 2023. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Zach Reichenberger of PEX

edit

Thanks for the feedback and for sharing how PEX has helped save your team time on expense reports. We’re glad to hear the receipt capture and tagging features have made a positive impact.

I looked into your case, and from what I can see, our support team was responsive and actively working with our engineering team to resolve the QuickBooks Desktop integration issue that you mentioned. Based on the latest update, it looks like the issue has been resolved, which is great news!

That said, I completely understand how delays during a month-end close can be frustrating. We appreciate your patience and will continue working to improve communication and turnaround time on these types of requests.
