Works ok, not great. The biggest problem is it takes several days to add funds. Weekends, any banking holiday, etc doesn't count so anticipate a week most of the time. It would be nice to... See more

Excellent for Small Businesses

Our small business has used Bento for several months and we couldn't be happier with the ease, flexibility and customer service! Only needing two cards, it doesn't cost us a penny and it connects to our QuickBooks for seamless record keeping.

This is an ideal service

This is an ideal service for our small business. I have funds automatically transferred from our Business Checking into the Bento card for convenient and secured use by our employees. Would definitely recommend!

I love how fast it is to get new Debit Cards. We do not believe in using debt as a tool, so this was a great option to delineate transactions between employees. However, the integration into Quickbooks leaves a lot to be desired. The Credit Cards companies transfer transactions WAY BETTER into Quickbooks than Bento for Business.

Good product and service...

The ease and convenience of transferring funds to a card which is not directly linked to our business bank account which prevents unauthorized access to said account is what we were looking for.

The only drawback is the time it takes for funds to be transmitted when the request is submitted online. If this part of the process could be improved and shortened by a day or so, it would be a perfect service.

We could not be more thrilled with the services we've received from Bento for Business. They have really helped us solve a major obstacle we had prior to launching our service, and we love the ease and convenience of their platform. Highly recommend!!

Appreciate the time you took to speak up. We strive for speed, and we do understand your frustration, but we are in fact constrained by the U.S. banking ACH funding system outside of our control. That said, we are working within the system to find ways to make it faster to move money, and we plan to keep you posted when we have new options.

We would like to know more. Our customer success team is ready to listen and help by chat (bentoforbusiness.com) or email (support@bentoforbusiness.com) or by phone at 866 220 8455. Thanks for your patience.

Big Fan of Bento

As a small business owner, I was increasingly frustrated by the inability to manage my employee's expenses and had started having issues with internal fraud. I looked at several expense management companies and settled on Bento. I am very happy with them especially with the ability to manage expense costs 24/7 from my phone. I can set employee's limits easily and only limit them to certain types of spends - office supplies, gas etc. Well worth it.
