Perk brings award-winning Spend platform to the US, its fastest growing region

Boston and London, September 15, 2026: Perk, the AI-native platform for travel and spend management, today expanded its award-winning fintech product Perk Spend into the United States, where customers already spend over $1 billion a year on work travel and team events. This reflects Perk’s ambition to become the single solution for every global team’s rapidly-changing travel and spend needs.

Today’s announcement follows Perk’s successful launch of Perk Spend in Europe, where up to 40% of new deals are for the combined Travel and Spend offering. The company expects the same in the US, a region which already drives 30% of new business globally. That momentum is built on real product depth, one data layer across travel, spend and events, an MCP server that lets customers book and manage it all from Claude and ChatGPT, and automation already handling 96% of travel bookings and 90% of expense reports with zero human touch.

Commissioned Perk research surveying 2,000 US employees found that 1 in 4 US companies still have no formal tool for managing spend and nearly a third of workers still submit expenses manually. As work travel keeps rising, so does the number of trips employees need to expense, and fragmented systems are making it harder for finance teams to handle the entire workflow. This launch is another way Perk is tackling shadow work: travel and spend in one platform. Perk’s intelligent proprietary data shows that bookings from US companies traveling domestically from January to August 2026 are up by 28% year on year, and international return flights departing the US are up 14%.

Avi Meir, Co-Founder and CEO at Perk said, “US companies are spending more on travel every year, but the tools to manage  it aren't keeping up. We've built one AI-native travel and spend platform with agentic capabilities for how American companies actually work.”

What Perk Spend offers:

• Bring Your Own Corporate Card (BYOC): Use an existing corporate card program and connect to Perk Spend, fully integrated with Perk Travel, so every transaction reconciles through one system.
• Direct Reimbursement: Employees who pay out of pocket get reimbursed straight to their bank account, no payroll wait. Perk captures the receipt, matches it, codes it, and pays out automatically once approved.
• Global, customizable per-diems: Smart limits pull in country and city-level per diem rates, adjusting automatically on multi-country trips to keep teams tax compliant.
• Native Integrations with leading ERPs: Perk connects directly with leading ERPs, including NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks, and SAP S4, for a smooth path from card swipe to export.
• Perk Card: Coming soon, Perk will bring an industry-leading corporate charge card to the US that allows customers to manage spend controls, earn cashback, and pay securely around the globe.
• Pay and earn rewards with personal cards: Travelers gain their crucial loyalty and credit card points by paying travel providers directly on Perk for their flights and hotels.

Nikita Miller, President of Product and Technology at Perk said, "Finance leaders don't want to choose between control and flexibility, they want both. Perk Spend gives them real-time visibility into every dollar spent, while letting employees keep the corporate card, the personal card, or the points they've already earned.”

Perk Spend is already winning awards. This summer, Perk was listed as one of CNBC’s world’s top fintech companies, G2’s leading travel and expense management solution in Europe, won PayTech’s Best Spend Management award and ranked 37th in Fast Company’s Best Workplace for Innovators.
