The story
EZ Bombs launched in late 2023 as a family-run side hustle built around a Mexican-heritage culinary concept — spice balls that dissolve in a slow cooker to produce authentic dishes. Viral success on TikTok catapulted the brand to the top of the food and beverage category within months. As the company scaled rapidly across direct-to-consumer, Amazon, and TikTok channels, it outgrew traditional banking and turned to Brex for corporate cards, spend management, and high-yield business banking to support its multi-channel, fast-growing operations.
