Your home office should work as hard as you do.
Ramp has major offices in New York, Miami, and San Francisco, as well as new workspaces in a few other cities where employees live. We have a strong in-office culture, with about 70% of the company coming in regularly. So much so, in fact, that we run out of office space about every six months and keep having to expand our floor plans.
But even those who love being in the office tend to work from home at least once a week.
That’s why every full-time Ramp employee receives a $500 work-from-home stipend on their first day. It’s a one-time fund to help create a workspace that’s comfortable, functional, and actually supports the way each employee works—whether that’s an ergonomic chair, a second monitor, or a new desk that fits the space.
We want every new hire to feel set up for success from day one, no matter where they work. Below is a walk-through of how we implement our WFH stipend spend program at Ramp.
How the spend program works
1. Set an amount and frequency
Each employee gets $500 when they join Ramp. It’s a one-time allocation that doesn’t renew.
2. Decide how funds are issued
Funds are auto-issued to every employee during onboarding so new hires can start using Ramp right away. We just ask employees to wait until their start date to make any purchases.
3. Set restrictions
Funds can only be spent on a handful of relevant categories, like office supplies and electronics. Employees can spend the funds using their physical Ramp card, virtual card, or through reimbursements if the expense exceeds $500. Because this benefit is for new employees, the funds auto-lock 12 months after they’re issued.
4. Set accounting rules
Every transaction is automatically booked to the “Office Supplies” expense account in NetSuite, Ramp's accounting system.
5. Enable approvals and post-purchase requirements
Receipts, memos, and correct accounting codes are required at submission, and all transactions require direct manager approval.
Spend programs that scale
Ramp’s Spend Programs feature is one of our product's most versatile features. It makes it easy to issue and manage company money at scale, whether for remote work, coffee, wellness, travel, or company events.
We use Ramp every day—not just to manage spend, but to strengthen the product from the inside out.

“Ramp had everything we were looking for, and even things we weren't looking for. The policy aspects, that's something I never even dreamed of that a purchasing card program could handle.”

“Switching from Brex to Ramp wasn’t just a platform swap—it was a strategic upgrade that aligned with our mission to be agile, efficient, and financially savvy.”

“With Ramp, everything lives in one place. You can click into a vendor and see every transaction, invoice, and contract. That didn’t exist in Zip. It’s made approvals much faster because decision-makers aren’t chasing down information—they have it all at their fingertips.”
Ryan Williams
Manager, Contract and Vendor Management, Advisor360°
“The ability to create flexible parameters, such as allowing bookings up to 25% above market rate, has been really good for us. Plus, having all the information within the same platform is really valuable.”

“More vendors are allowing for discounts now, because they’re seeing the quick payment. That started with Ramp—getting everyone paid on time. We’ll get a 1-2% discount for paying early. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you’re dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, it does add up.”
James Hardy
CFO, SAM Construction Group
“We’ve simplified our workflows while improving accuracy, and we are faster in closing with the help of automation. We could not have achieved this without the solutions Ramp brought to the table.”

VP of Finance, Poshmark
“I was shocked at how easy it was to set up Ramp and get our end users to adopt it. Our prior procurement platform took six months to implement, and it was a lot of labor. Ramp was so easy it was almost scary.”
