“Many legacy TMCs are unable to support all the inventory options that NDC opens them up to — and that has a real impact on travel costs. In other words, a modern TMC's power to provide its users with stronger visibility and insights compounded with more robust data provided by NDC can help travel managers fine-tune their programs… Business travel can be a strategic tool for growth and a function of the finance team.” –Rich Liu Fatima Durrani features the CEO of Navan Travel, Rich Liu, for Business Travel Executive Magazine September/October cover story: https://lnkd.in/gDqqRD_N

Corporate card and expense management startup Brex is teaming up with modern business travel platform Navan: The two are partnering to launch BrexPay for Navan, which, the companies say, "streamlines travel payments into one workflow when using the Navan travel management system." The partnership combines Navan's hard-to-replicate end-to-end business travel platform with Brex's global payments infrastructure, which supports spend limits up to 40x higher than legacy cards and enables spending in local currencies in more than 50 countries. Businesses that use BrexPay for Navan will be able to enforce their company travel policies through Navan by using Brex travel & expense cards and ship and manage physical Brex cards within Navan's platform. Of the news, Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi said, "By combining Brex’s fast onboarding, global acceptance, and homegrown financial stack with Navan’s end-to-end business travel offering into one solution, customers now have access to a payments and travel experience that is beyond any other corporate travel and payments solution." I'm sure I'll get the chance to talk about all this and more with Navan Expense CEO Michael Sindicich, when I sit down to chat with him for a live podcast recording during Money20/20 in less than two weeks.
