Early stage startup here with a fully remote team scattered across time zones. We are finally outgrowing the whole everyone uses their personal card and we reimburse later chaos. Looking for legit corporate cards that actually work for remote teams, we need virtual cards with spending controls as well as easy receipt capture and something that will not require a personal guarantee from founders. I've seen ramp mentioned a few times but not sure if it's the best fit or if there is something better out there. Anyone have takes on what is actually best in class for early stage remote teams? Not looking for promo, just real experiences.

  • “Virtual cards with spending controls, easy receipt capture, and no personal guarantee? That's Slash to a T. There's also no fee to issue virtual cards, which you'll get with some providers.”

  • “for early stage remote teams, i would place greater emphasis on expense controls, receipt processing or (receipt workflows) and founder guarantees rather than the card itself..”
