Brex, the AI-powered spend platform for modern companies, announced the closing of its third securitization transaction out of its previously established Brex Commercial Charge Card Master Trust.
The transaction included the “issuance of $260M of charge card asset-based notes rated by Kroll Bond Rating Agency.”
The highest-rated bonds obtained an “AA” rating. This is an improvement in rating from Brex’s first and second securitizations, which were rated “A”. The transaction was “meaningfully oversubscribed.”
Benjamin Gammell, Chief Financial Officer at Brex, said:
“Strong capital markets execution has always been an important part of Brex, as we’ve looked to use stable, low-cost funding to bolster our customer offering. Since our inaugural securitization issuance in 2021, the capital markets have recognized the low risk and stability of our customer base, which is manifested in this upgraded rating.”
This milestone highlights the continued interest in Brex’s card business, which “provides valuable financial products and services to our growing number of businesses.”
It also bolsters the company’s liquidity position and strength “as a financial counterparty to its customers.”
Brex is the Sponsor, Servicer, Administrator, and Seller for the Series 2024-1 Notes.
The Series 2024-1 Notes represent “the company’s third offering of asset-backed securities sponsored by Brex.”
The Series 2024-1 Notes are collateralized by “a portfolio of receivables originated in non-revolving corporate charge card accounts.”
The accounts are opened through the Brex platform and ultimately “approved and originated through Brex’s partner bank relationships.”
As covered, Brex is the AI-enhanced spend platform for modern companies, “from startups to enterprises.”
Combining corporate cards, expense management, travel, business accounts, and bill pay, Brex makes it easy to “control spend before it happens with efficiency and accuracy.”
Their mission is to empower employees anywhere “to make better financial decisions, so they designed their platform to make expenses almost effortless with unrivaled automation of manual expense work and real-time tracking.”
Brex claims that it “supports more countries and currencies than any other spend solution.”
Brex further notes that it “has tens of thousands of customers, including some of the most successful, high-growth companies, such as DoorDash, SeatGeek, Coinbase, ScaleAI, MasterClass, Indeed, Allbirds, and Superhuman.”
