Single card option.

Bento has multiple card types (Spend Limit and Fixed Value) to customize your spending as per your business needs.

Debit/Credit Card

Bento cards are business debit cards. No credit checks and no surprises. All spending happens in real-time from your Bento account balance.

Ramp determines your monthly spend limit by the drawable reserves in the bank accounts that your company links with Ramp

Available for all accounts irrespective of the plan you choose

Pricing

Free but only offers limited features. You’ll end up switching to a paid plan to leverage all the useful features.

You get access to all the great features, irrespective of the plan you’re on. The only thing that changes per plan is the number of cards you’re allowed to issue

Approval Process

Features an Approvals dashboard that requires employees to raise requests and get approvals from managers.

We have completely eliminated this process. That’s what our card controls are here for!

Allows you to track reimbursements and pay employees for out-of-card spending.

We have multiple card options to choose from for all types of spending, eliminating out-of-card expenses, and therefore eliminating reimbursement processes
