Spendesk and Wise Platform: bringing international payments capabilities to 5,000+ businesses
We’re excited to announce that Spendesk, the leading spend management and procurement platform for mid-market companies, has partnered with Wise Platform to offer fast, transparent and low-cost international payment services to over 5,000 businesses. Starting today, customers can sign up to the waiting list, with the feature expected to go live in the coming weeks.
With the new feature, we will enable Spendesk’s customers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom to process invoice payments and expense reimbursements in 30 currencies seamlessly, quickly, and cost-effectively - all from a single, unified dashboard.
With Wise Platform integrated into Spendesk, companies can:
- Send invoices and expenses in 30 currencies using the mid-market exchange rate*.
- Move money faster - over 60% of Wise’s transfers are settled instantly* (in 20 seconds or less) and 95% are completed in under 24 hours.
- Track international payments in real time directly from the Spendesk dashboard, providing finance teams with full control and transparency.
- Manage multi-entity operations seamlessly from one dashboard.
Stéphane Dehaies, CEO of Spendesk Financial Services, said: "This partnership with Wise Platform allows us to offer a comprehensive end-to-end payment solution for businesses operating worldwide. Beyond gaining the ability to manage complex multi-entity operations with complete visibility over international payments, our clients now benefit from accelerated fund receipts and significant cost savings on their transactions, reinforcing our commitment to innovation.”
Manuel Sandhofer, General Manager, EMEA at Wise Platform commented: "We're excited to partner with Spendesk to power a fast, seamless and unified international payments experience for their customers through Wise Platform. Spendesk has a strong vision to replace complicated and bureaucratic money movement and we're thrilled to be working with them to make fast, cost-effective, transparent and easy international payments an integral part of their offering.”
