Perk

To celebrate the launch of Perk Spend in the US 🇺🇸, we brought customers and finance leaders together in NYC to talk about the thing everyone’s tired of: the back-and-forth between travel and spend.

Hosted by our Leadership Team, we talked through eliminating the manual work for good, what zero-friction really looks like, and where AI takes the shadow work off finance teams’ plates next - including from Stefano Battiston, CCO of team on what it looks like when an entire F1™ operation runs friction-free with Perk.

Travel & Spend, together in one platform. Officially live in the US.

“Right now the US is 30% of new business, but in the future it’s going to be our largest market. A lot of what is driving this momentum is our customers.” - Nikita Miller, President of Product & Technology at Perk.

Nikita talked to the about corporate spend, starting with the fact that nearly 1 in 3 employees still file expenses manually.

Her fix: one AI-native platform for travel and spend, so teams get real-time visibility instead of manual reconciliation.

The US is now Perk’s fastest-growing market. Globally we’re approaching $400M in annualized revenue, growing 48% year over years and serving 12,000+ customers.

That’s a wrap on Perkleball 🏓💚

We took over , NYC’s finance teams brought the competition, and the only back-and-forth all week happened on the court.

To mark Spend going live in the US today 🇺🇸, we sat down with our President of Product & Technology, Miller, on why finance teams are still stuck dealing with so much shadow work and disconnected tools, and what actually fixes it.

Her take: travel and spend has worked like a relay race for years. One system hands off to the next, and somewhere in that handoff, the baton gets dropped. A receipt that doesn't match. An approval stuck in a Slack thread. No visibility over your spend.

Most teams are stitching together 4 to 6 tools to manage it, and only 7% say their stack is actually well integrated. That gap costs US businesses $564 billion a year.

Perk brings travel and spend onto one platform. One data layer, one AI doing the connecting work, so there's no handoff left to drop.

Peanut butter + Jelly. Batman + Robin. Travel + Spend. Some things are just meant to go together.

For too long, travel and spend have lived in different tools, different logins, different tabs - while finance teams stitch it all together manually. Today, 1 in 4 US companies still have no formal tool for managing spend, and nearly a third of workers are still filing expenses manually.

Not anymore.

Perk Spend is now live in the US 🇺🇸, where customers already spend over $1B a year on work travel and team events. That's a lot of money to be tracking across separate tools.

Book it. Pay it. Match it. Track it. One connected journey.

Travel and spend. Better together.
