Overview
Ramp is a financial operations platform that combines corporate charge cards, expense management, bill payment and accounting automation. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York City, Ramp markets itself on helping companies save money by automating expense capture, enforcing policy automatically and surfacing savings opportunities.
The expense experience is card-led: Ramp issues physical and virtual cards, prompts employees by text or app to submit a receipt photo when a charge is detected, and then categorizes and codes the transaction automatically. Finance teams set spend rules by card, vendor, category or department that Ramp enforces at the card level, and approvals can be automated. Ramp has added AI capabilities, including an AI agent that applies expense policy to transactions to automate review and approvals.
Ramp targets startups through enterprises and is offered with a free core tier, monetizing through interchange on card spend and paid higher tiers. It syncs coded transactions into general ledgers such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks, Xero and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
