BUFI Corporate Cards: Virtual & Physical Cards for Global Teams
BUFI issues virtual and physical corporate cards to team members with per-card spending limits, merchant category controls, and real-time transaction monitoring — with no venture funding or revenue minimums required.
The Problem
Global teams need corporate cards but face two walls: platforms like Brex require VC funding or high revenue thresholds, and traditional banks require local incorporation in each country. BUFI provides corporate cards as part of its Financial OS with no funding requirements, available alongside invoicing, payroll, and treasury management.
Features
- Virtual Cards
- Issue virtual corporate cards instantly for online purchases, subscriptions, and vendor payments. Each card has unique card numbers for security (Instant issuance)
- Physical Cards
- Order physical cards for team members who need in-person purchasing capability. Cards ship internationally (International shipping)
- Spending Limits
- Set per-card spending limits (daily, weekly, monthly) and adjust in real-time from the dashboard. Individual limits per team member (Granular per-card limits)
- Category Controls
- Restrict card usage by merchant category (e.g., allow software subscriptions but block entertainment). Customize per card or per team (Merchant category restrictions)
- Real-Time Monitoring
- See every transaction as it happens with push notifications, receipt matching prompts, and automatic expense categorization (Real-time transaction alerts)
- No Funding Requirements
- BUFI corporate cards will require no venture funding or minimum revenue. Cards are not available in production yet and are not included in any plan today (No VC funding or revenue minimum)
- Expense Integration
- Card transactions automatically flow into BUFI expense tracking with AI categorization. No manual data entry or receipt chasing (Automatic expense capture)
- Team Management
- Issue cards to team members based on role (Owner, Admin, Member). Freeze or cancel cards instantly from the dashboard (Role-based card issuance)
- Scoped Agent Cards
- Issue a single-purpose virtual card scoped to an amount, an optional merchant-category list, and an optional expiry. The cardholder is resolved from the authenticated workspace membership rather than the request, the card programme application must already be approved, and the PAN and CVC never leave the server (Amount- and category-scoped single-purpose cards)
