BILL Spend & Expense

Overview

BILL Spend & Expense (formerly Divvy) is a financial management platform providing corporate cards and automated expense tracking for small and mid-sized businesses. It combines smart company cards with budgeting software to give finance teams real-time visibility and control over employee spending. The platform automatically categorizes transactions, captures digital receipts, and syncs directly with accounting systems to streamline month-end closes. By offering flexible credit limits and automated policy enforcement, BILL helps organizations prevent budget overruns and eliminate manual reporting.

Founder story

It scaled rapidly into a leading fintech unicorn by offering free budgeting software tied to corporate credit. In June 2021, Bill.com acquired Divvy for $2.5 billion, later rebranding the platform to BILL Spend & Expense.
