    Spendesk brings all company spending into one platform: corporate cards, expenses, invoices, procurement and budgets, with real-time visibility for finance teams. Employees pay with smart cards under preset controls, receipts are captured automatically (98% capture rate), and finance closes the month days faster because the data is already clean.

    The platform automates the full spend workflow: approval chains before money leaves, automatic receipt matching after, AI-suggested bookkeeping entries, and exports into Sage, Xero, NetSuite, SAP and other accounting systems. Multi-entity management consolidates spend across subsidiaries, and budget guardrails stop overspending before it happens.

    Key benefits:

    • Smart corporate cards physical and virtual, with per-card controls
    • 98% receipt capture through automatic reminders and matching
    • Accounts payable automation from invoice intake to payment
    • Procurement workflows with approvals before commitments are made
    • Budget guardrails that enforce limits in real time
    • Accounting integrations with Sage, Xero, NetSuite and SAP

    Spendesk is a French company; its payment services arm, Spendesk Financial Services, is a payment institution licensed by the ACPR, the French banking regulator. Built, regulated and profitable in Europe, as the company puts it, and operating under the GDPR.

    Trusted by more than 3,000 finance teams across the continent.
