What is Ramp's role in the digital payments transformation?
Ramp moves company spending from paper invoices, wires and reimbursements onto corporate cards and software-controlled payments, without a bank charter of its own. On October 15, 2026 it said more than 85,000 companies manage over $275 billion in annualized purchase volume on Ramp, up 175% year over year; as of August 31, 2025 the figure was $100 billion. Ramp's purchase volume excludes bank transfers and non-monetized payments. TechCrunch reported in March 2025 that Ramp primarily makes money from interchange fees on card swipes and transaction fees on bill payments, and CEO Eric Glyman put Ramp at between 1-2% of the U.S. card market. Bill Pay is where cards replace invoices: Ramp said in October 2025 that Bill Pay payment volume had tripled and its agents enter card details into vendor payment portals. The cards run on Stripe Issuing, which Stripe says has provided more than 2 million virtual and physical cards, and on a renewed multi-year Visa issuing agreement (March 2026). In July 2026 Ramp added stablecoin accounts and stablecoin bill payments; more than 1,000 businesses pay vendors in stablecoins on Ramp, and more than 70% of that volume moves outside banking hours. Abroad, nearly half of Ramp customers transact internationally every week; Ramp bought the UK- and Sweden-licensed Billhop in March 2026 and launched in the UK on September 15, 2026. AI enters at the point of payment: a transformer-based fraud model scores every Ramp card authorization.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Where does AI come into Ramp's payments shift, and what is not disclosed?
AI sits at the point of payment. Ramp's card fraud model runs on every card authorization while the cardholder is still at checkout, and AP agents both flag suspicious invoices and move eligible bills onto cards by entering card details in vendor portals. The AI products are on the companion page.[10][4]
Stablecoins are Ramp's answer to slow cross-border bank transfers: Ramp says more than 1,000 businesses already pay vendors in stablecoins on Ramp and more than 70% of that payment volume moves outside traditional banking hours. One beta customer found stablecoin payments were roughly 10% of its vendor payments but 50% of its accounts payable time, per Stripe.[7][14]
What is not disclosed: Ramp's total payments including bank transfers (purchase volume excludes them), Bill Pay and stablecoin dollar volumes, the split between card and non-card payments, its take rate, and customer counts in the UK and EU. All figures are Ramp's own; as a private company it publishes no audited accounts.[1][7][9]
