Having control as a business owner is paramount, but the security of not losing the ability to keep a pulse on your pocketbook is even more compelling. What’s pretty cool about Alex is that with Divvy, he’s tapped into a few core needs at the human level: security and control. Divvy is the only company in the world allowing a business to use a credit card, have a budget, and see them side by side in real-time. Just like at home, businesses have budgets for how much can be spent on items like supplies or marketing.

Up until the creation of Divvy, there weren’t great tools to really help a business maintain its budget and control the spending on employee credit cards. And that my friends, is where the magic happened.Įven when we’re not in a year like 2020, as a small business, it’s crucial to stay within budget and spend smartly. They didn’t know the in’s and out’s of payment processors or banking, but they identified a problem in their own small business and knew there had to be a solution. What’s really cool about Alex Bean and his business partner is that before starting Divvy, they weren’t FinTech specialists. With over $500MM of capital raised since inception, Divvy is transforming the financial services landscape for businesses big and small. Divvy is a company that literally caught fire in the marketplace, a free service that combines the elegance of digital (and physical) credit cards with the functionality of employee expense management.
