Amex GBT Select vs. Payhawk

Amex GBT Select builds a business travel program around the tools, workflows and priorities companies already use. It's a configurable travel management solution that integrates with the organization's existing systems, helps manage travel disruption and brings it all into a single view. Travel Managers get spend, compliance and traveler well-being data in one view, with the configurability to act on what they see rather than adapting to a one-size-fits-all system. Proactive traveler care keeps disrupted trips on track with automated rebooking, real-time alerts, and 24/7 crisis support.

Payhawk is an AI-native spend management platform that unifies corporate cards, expense management, accounts payable automation, procurement, and business travel in one place. Finance teams get full control, automation, and visibility, while employees enjoy a seamless spending experience. Every payment follows your policies, budgets, and approval flows. Payhawk's MCP connects the platform to the AI assistant your team already uses, such as Claude. It reads and acts, running finance jobs like month-end close end to end through Playbooks.
