Budgets vs. actuals, faster answers, and clearer permissions
Tracking budgets against real activity shouldn’t require spreadsheets or month-end cleanups. This month’s updates focus on helping teams close the loop between planning and execution — so budgets, approvals, and day-to-day activity stay aligned as work happens.
Here’s what’s New on Ramp in January:
New: Track budgets vs. actuals as money moves
Seeing where budgets stand shouldn’t be a guessing game.
With Ramp Budgets, teams can track live activity against budgets across cards, reimbursements, Bill Pay, and purchase orders. Approvals happen with context, budget owners always know what’s left, and finance teams get alerts before overages turn into surprises.
Upload your budget once, and Ramp keeps it connected to every transaction — so planning reflects reality, not last month’s numbers.

New: Search your data in plain English
Finding answers in tables shouldn’t mean rebuilding views or stacking filters.
Ramp now lets you search tables using plain-English phrases like “SaaS vendor payments over $10K” to instantly group, filter, and sort data. It’s a faster way to answer planning and close-related questions—without leaving Ramp or exporting to spreadsheets.
Pay multiple bills at once — without manual runs
Manual payment runs create unnecessary cleanup at close.
Automated bill batching groups approved bills into a single payment across ACH, SWIFT, and international rails. Fewer payments to track means fewer open items and a cleaner path into month-end close.

Grant the right permissions for each role
Planning holds up when everyone has the access they need — and nothing more.
Custom AP clerk roles let you control who can submit bills, edit drafts, or view payment details, keeping bill status clear heading into close.
View-only admin roles give auditors visibility into expenses and accounting without the ability to make changes — supporting reviews without increasing risk.
Together, these controls reduce back-and-forth and keep responsibility clearly defined across teams.
