Step-by-step: download invoices from Brex

  1. 1

    Sign in to the Brex Dashboard and pick the right account

    Go to dashboard.brex.com and sign in. Brex has three distinct product surfaces under the same login, Brex Card (the corporate card), Brex Cash (the business account), and Brex Travel (booked trips). Each one generates its own documents. If your company has multiple Brex accounts (for example a parent entity and a subsidiary), use the account switcher at the top-left before you start hunting for paperwork.

  2. 2

    Open Statements from the sidebar

    Click Account in the left sidebar, then Statements. This is where Brex keeps monthly PDF statements for both the Brex Card and the Brex Cash account, broken out by billing cycle. Admins see every statement for the company. Cardholders without admin access only see their own card activity, which matters if your bookkeeper is set up with a limited role.

  3. 3

    Pick the billing cycle and download the PDF

    Brex Card statements follow a monthly billing cycle tied to your card agreement, not the calendar month, so the cycle dates may not align with your accounting period. Brex Cash statements are calendar-monthly. Click the cycle you need, then Download PDF. For transaction-level detail, use the CSV export on the same page. Both formats are available for every closed cycle.

  4. 4

    Grab Brex Travel receipts from a different place

    Brex Travel bookings (flights, hotels, rail, ground transfers) do not appear on the Brex Card statement as their own line. They show as regular card transactions. The actual traveler receipts live under Travel in the sidebar, linked to each trip. Open the trip, click the booking, and download the supplier receipt (the airline, the hotel, the booking partner). Keep these separately from the card statement.

  5. 5

    File statements and receipts where your accountant can find them

    Rename each file with a consistent pattern such as period-brex-type-amount, and drop statements and receipts in different folders. Brex Card statements are for reconciling total card spend against what posted to your books. Individual merchant receipts (from vendors, not from Brex) are still what your accountant needs for expense substantiation, because the Brex statement only shows the amount and merchant name, not the VAT breakdown.

About Brex billing

Brex is a card issuer and a business account provider, not a SaaS vendor sending you a monthly invoice. That distinction matters once your accountant starts asking for paperwork.

You get statements, not invoices. The Brex Card statement is a summary of what posted to the card during a billing cycle. Brex Cash is a separate statement for the business account. Brex Travel produces a third category of document entirely, the supplier receipt from the airline or hotel. Mix those up and your expense reports end up with gaps your auditor will find.

Brex does not issue a VAT invoice for card fees or FX markup. The fee structure is built into the transaction, not billed as a separate line. When your accountant asks for a "Brex invoice" to claim VAT, they actually need the merchant receipts from the vendors you paid, plus the Brex statement as a reconciliation aid. The statement alone is not a substitute.

About Brex

Brex Inc. is a financial services company founded in 2017 by Henrique Dubugras and Pedro Franceschi, headquartered in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. It serves startups, mid-market companies, and enterprises with a corporate card program (Brex Card), a business account (Brex Cash), a booking tool (Brex Travel), and expense management software. Billing surfaces follow the product split: card statements for card spend, cash statements for the business account, and underlying supplier receipts for travel bookings. There is no unified "Brex invoice" covering all three.

Why people stop doing this by hand

A single founder with one card and no travel bookings: the Brex dashboard is fine. The pain starts the moment you have a team.

Twenty cards across five departments, a Brex Cash balance earning interest, and a quarter of travel bookings means the monthly close has three separate document streams: the company-level card statement, the cash statement, and a pile of supplier receipts pulled trip by trip out of the Travel tab. Billing cycles on the card do not line up with calendar months, so reconciliation means exporting the transaction CSV and filtering to period boundaries, then matching it against the PDF for the audit trail.

Individual merchant receipts are the other half of the problem. The Brex statement tells you a charge happened, but your accountant wants the vendor invoice with the VAT line broken out. Team members forward those receipts from their inboxes, or they do not, and chasing the missing ones is a monthly ritual in most finance teams we talk to.

Brex is one of the portals our Chrome Extension auto-detects. Install it, open your Brex dashboard, and the extension captures new statements in the background. No OAuth setup, no forwarding address, no clicking into each billing cycle. It works alongside the main Inbox Ledger sync, which picks up the merchant receipts forwarded from team inboxes so both halves of the story end up in one place.

Next step

If you are a solo operator with one card and no travel, the Brex dashboard is enough. If you run a team, hold a Brex Cash balance, use Brex Travel, or just want card statements and merchant receipts reconciled in one view, connect Brex to Inbox Ledger and let the documents come to you every month.

Where to look in the dashboard

  • Account → Statements is where Brex Card and Brex Cash statements live, one PDF per billing cycle
  • Travel → open each trip → Booking details holds the supplier receipts for flights, hotels, and ground travel
  • Settings → Company → Documents holds tax forms (1099-INT and similar) and compliance paperwork
  • Team → Members controls who can see which statements, based on Admin, Bookkeeper, or Cardholder role
  • Rewards shows redemption history for Brex Rewards, kept separate from regular statement activity

Before you start — quick checklist

  • Brex Card statement PDFs are downloaded for every closed billing cycle in the period you are reconciling
  • Brex Cash statements are pulled separately if you use the business account for operating balances
  • Brex Travel trip receipts from the underlying supplier (airline, hotel, booking platform) are saved alongside the card statement, not in place of it
  • Multi-user card activity on the statement matches your internal expense reports
  • CSV export is archived alongside the PDF for transaction-level lookups during audit
  • If you redeemed Brex Rewards, the redemption credit appears correctly on the statement

Pro tips

  • Brex is a card issuer and business banking provider, not a merchant invoicing platform. There is no VAT invoice from Brex itself for most card-related activity, because card fees and FX markup are built into the transaction, not billed as a separate line item. If your accountant is asking for a "Brex invoice" for card spend, they actually want the merchant receipts plus the Brex statement as a reconciliation aid.
  • The Brex Card billing cycle may not match the calendar month. If your accounting close is calendar-monthly, expect a few days of drift between the statement period and your period-end, and reconcile using the CSV export rather than the PDF if you need precise cutoff.
  • Brex Cash earns interest on balances, and any interest posted shows on the Cash statement. In the US, Brex issues tax forms (typically 1099-INT) annually for interest earned above the reporting threshold. Check the Documents section under Company settings in January and February.
  • Brex Travel receipts are the supplier document, not a Brex document. If you need a VAT-compliant invoice for a hotel stay in the EU, you retrieve it from the hotel or the booking partner, not from Brex. The Brex side is just a record of what was charged to which card.
  • Admin versus cardholder roles matter for document access. Cardholders see only their own card activity. Admins see the full company statement. If your bookkeeper needs everything, invite them as a Bookkeeper or Admin, not as a standard Cardholder.
  • Brex Rewards redemptions (statement credits, travel, transfers) generate their own confirmations in the Rewards section. These are not invoices, they are redemption receipts. Some accounting teams treat them as a non-cash benefit and record them separately from regular expense reconciliation.
