Company Report
reflecting adoption by larger customers and expansion beyond corporate cards into bill pay, procurement and travel.

Ramp’s fastest growth is coming from owning more of the finance team’s daily workflow, not from swiping more cards. Larger customers need one system that starts before money moves and ends after the books are closed, so Ramp added bill pay, procurement, and travel to capture invoices, approvals, contracts, bookings, and reconciliation in the same product. That raises revenue per customer and makes enterprise adoption more durable.1 2 3 4

  • Bill pay was the first proof that Ramp could grow beyond cards. By the end of 2023, estimated TPV reached $30B across card and bill pay, with bill pay expanding volume even though it monetized at only about 0.1%, showing customers were willing to route non card spend through Ramp.1
  • Procurement pulls Ramp earlier into the purchase decision. Instead of only seeing a payment after it happens, Ramp can capture the request, contract, invoice, approval, and renewal cycle, which gives finance teams one record across card spend and accounts payable, and creates more chances to upsell software and payments.2 3 4
  • Travel extends the same model to another large employee spend category. Ramp applies company travel policy at booking and ties trips back to cards and expense reconciliation, putting it into more direct competition with Navan, Coupa, Zip, and Brex as the category converges into an all in one finance workflow suite.2 5 6

The next step is a fuller system of action for finance, where Ramp handles more of the work before and after payment, from vendor intake to renewal negotiation to travel booking. If that continues, the center of competition shifts away from corporate cards alone and toward who can bundle the most spend workflows into one product without adding enterprise software complexity.2 3 4 5 6
