The Pleo story

We were founded in 2015 by fintech veterans Jeppe Rindom and Niccolo Perra. The idea of Pleo (and what we’ve stayed true to ever since) was born out of an opportunity – a chance to transform tedious business (as usual) spending into something effortless, delightful and suited to a 21st-century workplace.

Today, we’re an end-to-end business spending solution.

Well, almost everywhere. Pleo is available for businesses in 15+ European countries. We’re staffed by over 850+ people all over the world, all contributing to make Pleo, Pleo.

Pleo, the company

Before Pleo, many of our customers are held back by old-fashioned, bureaucratic processes that get in the way of meaningful work. Here, we’re talking manual expense forms, receipt chasing, lengthy reimbursement processes, tedious data entry and running around chasing a single company card.

So, we put all of that in the bin.

Pleo is automated spending that gives your finance team real-time oversight on company spending, makes your employees feel seen and valued, and puts time back in the day for everyone to work on the stuff they’re actually salaried to do.

You might be signing up to step up your company spend game but, with Pleo, you’re getting a whole lot more than expected. Oh, and that’s the reason behind that company name of ours if you were wondering.

pleo—

[ plee-oh ], combining form

From the Greek, meaning “more than expected”

Pleo is...

a verb, an app, a community, more than expected,
painless, frictionless, effortless,
an end-to-end spending solution, never bureaucratic, always empowering.

More than expected

We go the extra mile (and then some) by making the most tedious aspect of work a delight, all while giving freedom and autonomy to teams. Our brand is more than expected, which is exactly why we invest in it.

02

Scandinavian, but not really...

Pleo may have been born in Copenhagen, but we’ve always thought globally. We lean into our Scandi-roots and bring a focus on simplicity, user-centric design and bottom-up organisational thinking to the masses across Europe.

03

More autonomy, more trust

Without trust, we’re nothing. Just one way of showing this is giving everyone a Pleo card and putting employees first. No silos and no big decisions behind closed doors; open communication is the way forward.

04

On the level

We’re direct, simple, and intelligent without being intellectual. There’s a lot of business jargon out there, and we’re not here to judge your knowledge of it.
