FinTech Brex Launches API, Zapier Integration

The B2B FinTech Brex has launched Brex API, a tool the Silicon Valley company says will allow its customers to manage their financial information in a customizable interface. With Brex API, users will save time and reduce errors, the company said in a news release on Thursday (Oct. 21).

Brex says its API will let customers connect with other internal systems to send ACH, wire transfers or checks from their Brex Cash accounts. It will also let them create and manage users, allowing companies to bulk onboard new employees. Finally, it gives users secure access to all of their Brex account transactions, so that customers can reconcile statements, monitor activity and produce reports.

Brex says its API helped Maroo, a buy now, pay later (BNPL) wedding financing company, improve its user experience.

“Maroo’s network of wedding professionals get paid sooner than they would otherwise, building loyalty that will help Maroo scale operations in the U.S.,” Maroo Co-founder Andrei Riaskov said in the news release.

Also on Thursday, Brex announced a new integration with the no-code platform Zapier, which the company says gives its non-technical customers the ability to use the API even if they can’t code. Customers can connect any of the 4,000-plus apps Zapier supports to their Brex accounts.

For example, if a customer is managing a budget in Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, Zapier will automatically create a new vendor account in Brex and provision a payment card based on data entered into the spreadsheet.

“We believe financial systems should be open, giving customers complete control over their financial data, and the ability to customize based on their needs,” said Henrique Dubugras, Brex’s co-CEO. “With Brex’s API and Zapier support, we’re putting the power in all of our customers’ hands to ensure their finances work the way their companies need them to.”

It’s been a busy year for Brex, which acquired the Israeli commerce API firm Weav for $50 million in August, closed a $425 million Series D in April and expanded its instant payout features to sellers on Shopify in March.
