3 reasons to choose Payhawk over Expensify

Payhawk all in one platform

Built for finance teams - not just employee expenses

Multi-entity management in Payhawk platform

One platform for all your entities

Whether you operate in two countries or ten, Payhawk gives you a single dashboard to manage spend, approvals, and reporting across all entities – with local bank accounts, currencies, and controls.

Payhawk corporate cards

Corporate cards that work anywhere

Unlike Expensify, which doesn’t offer cards in Europe, Payhawk provides both debit and credit cards with built-in controls, real-time tracking, and automated receipt collection – in GBP, EUR, and more.
