Bento for Business vs. Marqeta

Our organization runs a lot of short-term or one-off programs where the program staff need to buy supplies -- Bento is perfect for these scenarios. The staff who make the purchases are not staff who would typically have a company card, so we wanted a solution other than giving them a credit card. Bento was perfect because it makes the purchasing & bookkeeping processes for these programs easy and efficient for both the staff and the finance team

It is a great solution for people that want to make sure their users get their funds fast and to the debit card. It takes much less time than it would with a bank. It doesn't work well as a solution if you are looking for international or business users or have large sums you need to spend every day.

The support team has been excellent and very responsive. Whenever we had issues and reached out, we were able to resolve most problems within 24 hours. I think it really helps that they are still a new-ish startup and are very hands-on with their business and with support.

There are not a lot of other apps like this. Most of them just track expenses without giving employees the ability to use company funds. I understand that in larger companies this may not be an issue, but for our employees, it is nice to not have to use their own money. You can take pictures of receipts to prove what you bought, in-app, like a lot of other expense tracking apps

We evaluated a couple back in 2018 (GPS and Galileo), but I'm not sure that is relevant anymore.

• less stress about paying credit card bills on time
• more buy-in for employees - they are more willing to use the company card since it's not tied to their SS#
• easy reporting

• Our entire card payments business runs on Marqeta and Marqeta's cost is a fraction of the revenue provided.
• Costs very reasonable at scale.
