Brex for non-US businesses vs. Limited: which is better?

Managing a global business doesn’t have to be complicated. While Brex works for US startups, Limited is built for non-US businesses like yours. Enjoy full control of your funds, cost-effective cross-border payments, and global flexibility. Join Limited and grow without limits.

Find the right financial partner for your global business

Running a business outside the US is no small feat. You’re constantly juggling international payments, regulations, and currency exchanges. The last thing you need is a financial platform that complicates things further. Brex is a great option for US startups, but if your company operates globally, you need more. Limited is built for businesses like yours—offering flexibility, security, and worldwide access without restrictions.

Let’s break it down and see which platform is right for you.

The global coverage dilemma: Brex’s limits vs. Limited’s reach

Brex: Brex is designed for US-based startups and companies. It’s packed with perks—but only if you fit their geographic criteria.

  • Limited international access: Many non-US businesses simply can’t qualify for Brex.
  • Dependence on US banking systems: If you’re not in the US, you’re dealing with extra layers of complexity and red tape.

Limited: Global coverage isn’t just an add-on—it’s at the core of what we do. Limited is built to support businesses that operate beyond borders.

  • Extended global coverage: Access financial services in 158 countries with 300+ local payment methods.
  • Multi-currency transactions: Make payments in 80+ currencies without the hassle.
  • No dependency on US-only systems: No need to worry about US regulations slowing you down.
Why it matters: If your business spans countries, Limited offers the reach and flexibility Brex can’t.

Self-custody and control: keeping your assets safe

Brex: With Brex, your funds are held by banks and managed through third-party systems. You don’t get direct control over them.

Limited: Your money is your business, literally. Our self-custody model gives you full control, so you can access your funds whenever and however you want.

  • Self-custody wallets: Only you have access to your funds. Not even Limited can touch them.
  • Enhanced security: Your assets stay protected from risks like bank failures or sudden account freezes.
  • Instant liquidity: Convert fiat to stablecoins and use your funds anytime—no waiting for banking hours.
Why it matters: If you want total control of your funds, Limited’s self-custody model gives you exactly that.

Cross-border transactions: handling global payments efficiently

Brex: Brex supports international payments, but its reliance on US payment systems can result in delays and high costs for non-US businesses.

  • Limited local options: Many non-US companies face extra fees and slow processing times.
  • Currency conversion costs: Converting currencies can chip away at your profits.

Limited: Built for businesses managing cross-border payments, our platform is streamlined to make international transactions fast and cost-effective.

  • 300+ local payment methods: From SEPA to WeChat Pay, our system covers the world.
  • Near-zero fees: Keep your money where it belongs—with you.
  • Multi-currency support: Avoid expensive conversions by holding stablecoins and transacting in local currencies.
Why it matters: Limited ensures your international payments are smooth, affordable, and on time.
