Our verdict
Brex is a cash management account built for businesses, with a monthly fee of $0 and a variable rate of $4.01 to $4.36. It suits companies that want a US account for spending and liquidity, and it is a poor fit for anyone who needs consumer savings features or a fixed term.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The monthly fee is $0 and the account model is no monthly fee, so there is no account keeping charge to plan around.
- Access terms are Same-hour liquidity, no notice period, no minimum, so cash can be reached on demand without locking it away.
- The headline rate is $4.01 to $4.36 at a variable rate, giving a clear number for idle balances.
- The minimum deposit is $0, so an account can be opened and funded in small steps.
Cons
- The account is a cash management product aimed at businesses, so personal savings goals are not the focus.
- The rate is variable, so the $4.01 to $4.36 headline can move rather than lock for a term.
- The audience is listed as business only, which narrows who can open it.
Who it suits
- Businesses that keep US dollar balances for operating spend
- Finance teams that value Same-hour liquidity, no notice period, no minimum over a fixed term
- Companies comparing $0 monthly fees in the cash management segment
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone saving for a fixed term, since the rate is variable
- Personal banking users, as the account is built for a business audience
Rates and terms
The account pays a variable rate with a headline of $4.01 to $4.36, so the figure on the table today is not locked in for a term. Access is simple: terms are Same-hour liquidity, no notice period, no minimum, meaning money can be taken out the same day without waiting through a notice period. There is no floor to meet, since the minimum deposit is $0. This is a cash management account, built for balances that are in and out rather than tied up.
Who runs it
Brex is run by Brex LLC, which is based in the US and was founded in 2017. Help is offered through help centre, chat and phone, so a company can reach a person on the phone as well as use the help centre. The operation is a US one, and the account is set up for companies rather than private individuals.

Frequently asked questions
What does Brex cost to run a business account?+
The monthly fee is $0, and the account model is listed as no monthly fee. There is also no floor to worry about, since the minimum deposit is $0, so a company can start small and grow the balance as revenue arrives.
Is my money protected at Brex?+
Deposits are covered under FDIC up to USD 250,000. That protection sits with the US deposit scheme rather than with Brex itself, so it covers balances held in the account rather than anything invested elsewhere.
How quickly can I get at my money?+
Access terms are Same-hour liquidity, no notice period, no minimum, so there is no notice period to plan around and liquidity is same day. That suits a business paying suppliers or staff without waiting for a fixed window to open.
Is the Brex interest rate fixed?+
The rate is variable, with a headline of $4.01 to $4.36. A variable rate moves with the market, so the number on offer is the current one rather than a figure held for a term.
Who can open a Brex account?+
The account is listed for a business audience, which means it is aimed at companies rather than private individuals. It is a cash management product, so it fits business cash rather than personal current account use.
How do I get help from Brex?+
Support runs through help centre, chat and phone, so a company can use the help centre, chat or phone. Phone support matters for finance teams dealing with a payment that has to move the same day.
Who is behind Brex?+
The company operates as Brex LLC, headquartered in the US and founded in 2017. The account itself is US focused, which matters for businesses paying in US dollars.
