By Megha Bhattacharya

FinTech Pleo has today introduced Apple Pay for its customers in the UK and Europe, thus allowing them to benefit from a secure mobile payment method and make purchases on the go. The FinTech also stated that customers would benefit from Apply Pay’s security and privacy features including payments which never store card and transaction information on devices or its servers, payment confirmations via Apple Touch ID or unique passcodes as well as a contactless payment method.

Niccolo Perrera, Pleo co-Founder and CTO commented, “We are thrilled to announce this new functionality with Apple Pay. Not only does this make the Pleo service more seamless for our customer base, but continues a trend of people expecting the services they have in their private lives being mirrored in their professional ones. It was a no brainer for us to unlock this partnership with Apple as it’s what is expected in an increasingly digitised and integrated world.”

Pleo stated that the new co-branded service would launch in six markets including Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the UK. The new capabilities are expected to enable business users to sync their Pleo credit card with Apple Pay and make payments from their favourite Apple device.

Founded in 2015 in Copenhagen, Pleo is a business spending solution that offers smart payment cards and automated expense reports for employees.
