Airbase Partners with Silicon Valley Bank to extend its Comprehensive Spend Management software to SVB Business Cardholders

US-based Airbase, the only comprehensive spend management platform available for small and mid-market companies, has announced a strategic partnership with the bank of the world’s most innovative companies and their investors, Silicon Valley Bank, on 6 October 2021.

Airbase and SVB Partnership will lead to:

• SVB’s business cards can now be managed with Airbase’s spend management platform, which automates accounting and spends approval workflows. 
• The new integration with SVB’s corporate card issuing platform will allow the bank’s customers to realize the value of a consolidated spend management platform while remaining with the business credit card program they already use and love.
• SVB customers can now manage all their non-payroll spending in one place — SVB cards, bill payments, employee expense reimbursements — with robust approvals, AP automation, and real-time reporting.
