Ramp has launched Ramp Travel, a new integrated travel booking product, in partnership with Priceline Partner Solutions.

Travel and entertainment spend on Ramp's platform has grown from 10% to 20% of annual card spend since 2021, and this number is expected to rise as corporate travel demand returns to pre-pandemic levels. The new product offers access to Priceline's global inventory and rates, integrates deeply with Ramp's existing features to eliminate cumbersome processes, and provides real-time insights into travel expenses.
