How Ramp is dedicated to supporting businesses with their banking needs

Over the last week, we’ve been working hard to ensure Ramp customers retain stable spend limits and minimize business disruption. Many of them are now grappling with transferring their entire banking operations to new platforms while simultaneously maintaining cash flow. Today, we're announcing that we have expanded our solutions to give customers more control over their finances. With Ramp, businesses can find trusted banking providers with our priority referral program and have the freedom to connect multiple bank accounts to one centralized spend management platform to reduce their risk.

"We pay our customers government fees by check, and the bank collapse put all those payments in limbo. Ramp was able to increase our limit in 24 hours and connect our new bank account quickly, so our families can continue on their immigration journey."- Xiao Wang, CEO & Co-Founder, Boundless Immigration

Businesses deserve a banking provider they can rely on

Right now, businesses everywhere are looking for better ways to safeguard and manage their assets. Events from this past week have shined a huge spotlight on the importance of financial diversification and risk management.

Our data shows Ramp customers are changing their banking habits. Many are moving to new banks, with 3-8% asset increases in banks like Bank of America and Wells Fargo. Smaller businesses are more likely to connect with digital and regional banks, while larger businesses are veering toward enterprise banking partners.

In the near term, the stability of businesses may depend on their ability to:

  1. Find stable banking providers who have a long track record of putting customers first and delivering high-quality reliable services.
  2. Diversify assets across providers to reduce single points of failure.
  3. Keep financial operations streamlined even as businesses diversify where they store their funds.

Legacy corporate card and expense management software providers can’t help companies who need to perform crucial tasks such as instantly setting up employees with new cards or integrating bank accounts, owing to bulky systems and a lack of personalized customer support.

Business owners and finance teams deserve better peace of mind. They deserve financial solutions that ensure stability and drive real savings.

Ramp is here to bolster your financial stability

Ramp is not a bank, but from day one, we’ve provided our customers with innovative solutions to help finance teams operate at their very best. Customers have the freedom of choice to connect multiple bank accounts to one centralized spend management platform, thereby supporting diversification and decreasing risk.

"This recent situation with the banks put us in a terrible position. All our financial services, including cards, were locked into one provider. Now with Ramp we're able to connect multiple banking partners, and see a consolidated view of our spend in one platform.”-Sara Mauskopf, CEO & Co-Founder, Winnie

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.

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.

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.
