Benepass is great for employees that want to keep track of how much of their stipends they have used. It really ensures employees are taking advantage of the perks and benefits their company is offering. Uploading receipts is really easy to use as well so the amount of time spent by employees is minimal when taking advantage of their stipends. I believe this would maximize employee happiness and satisfaction with their company, therefore helping with employee attrition.

If you are looking for a company that will be thorough in the substantiation process and will have the employee ready in the event they are audited, WEX is perfect. If you employees have a hard tolerating being asked multiple times to substantiate similar or same claims, this company is likely not for you.

Pros
  • Tracking how much of my stipend I have available to spend each month/year
  • Uploading receipts is easy
  • Adding bank account is seamless and direct deposit occurs quickly after expense approval

  • In my opinion, poor application of IRS rules
  • In my experience, frequent denial of coverage to be later reversed
  • In my experience, poor complain processing rules
  • need PAPER checks to be sent if you need to reimburse them. PAPER! They don't accept credit cards. A credit card processing company that doesn't accept credit cards.

Cons
  • When using a virtual card, I still need to submit details for the expense. It feels like it would just be easier to fill in an expense rather than setup a virtual card for recurring payments that are reimbursed through stipends.

  • In my experience, WEX has an inability to connect with other entities on the supply chain (bswift, internal benefits department).
  • Slow support request turnaround (3-5 business days).
  • Makes FSA substantiation unnecessarily difficult.
  • Even when there’s a single itemized receipt for all charges, every charge must be substantiated with a separate upload.
  • Even though doing so would satisfy IRS guidelines, WEX won’t accept third party explanations of services as FSA substantiation.

In my opinion, horrific website with poor design and usability. I think the company frankly does not care.

Alternatives Considered
I did not select Benepass as I’m not a decider for that in my company. But as a user, I think Benepass is better than my experience with Airbase due to the ability to track how much of my stipends I have spent. I would say it matches with Expensify, they are both similar to me and offer the same set of key features such as tracking various stipend spending/amounts and the use of virtual cards.

We never really had one place for all of our HSA, FSA and COBRA needs. We used multiple vendors and our employees a variety of vendors and banks they could set up their accounts with. WEX really help simplify and uniforms the whole process and help streamline all HSA, FSA and COBRA processes

Return on Investment
  • Employee retention. It helps employees take advantage of the awesome benefits and stipends their employer offers. Without seamless software to use here, employees may easily forget or just not use their benefits.

  • WEX Health has made administration of FSA, HSA, and COBRA so much easier
  • I feel confident that WEX Health is compliant, as a company, and that they keep us compliant
  • We are always able to call and talk to a knowledgeable representative when we have questions
