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.

“A well-run district should not have to choose between getting work done at the school site and keeping control of the dollars behind it.

“More token spend isn’t proof that AI is working. Less isn’t proof that it isn’t. What matters is whether we’re buying the right level of intelligence for the work. Ramp lets us make that judgment in the same place we manage every other type of spend.”
