With this release, Spendbase moves beyond expense optimization and into the core of business finance, growing into a central hub for financial management. The new features empower companies to manage money smarter, move faster, and save more.
What's New?
With Digital Banking, companies using Spendbase can now:
Get their business up and running in no time with a modern digital banking solution
Save time and instantly open corporate IBANs for the EU and UK
Make fast bank transfers via SEPA and Faster Payments
Gain more control with sub-accounts for specific teams, individuals, or projects.
The new Virtual Cards functionality allows users to:
Easily issue from one to 100 virtual cards per organization
Stay in control by setting precise spend limits for each card
Multiply your savings by earning up to 1.5% cashback
Benefit from enhanced security with 3DS, ensuring every transaction is truly yours
Spend Smarter
The launch slogan, 'Stop Spending Around,' captures the essence of Spendbase's mission: to give businesses radical visibility and control over their corporate spending. With new functionality offering granular controls at the team, account, and individual levels, companies can now track and optimize every dollar even better.
'Saving money has always been in our DNA — it's not just what we do for our customers, it's how we operate internally. We're seriously cost-efficient, and now we're turning that mindset into products. These tools pay for themselves by helping you spend less — and this launch is a major step in that direction.' Andrew Alex, CEO, Spendbase
From Optimization to Full Control
Spendbase originally made waves by helping companies cut waste in their software and cloud spending. For some mid-sized clients, that meant saving up to $150K in under a year. The platform quickly onboarded high-profile clients including Preply, Lemon.io, MacPaw, Provectus, Happy Monday, YouScan, and others. Today, Spendbase supports 800+ businesses worldwide.
One of the platform's standout features is its performance-based pricing: Spendbase charges 25% from what it helped you save. That means the platform is fully aligned with its clients' success — clients typically save four times more than they pay.
With the addition of banking and virtual cards, Spendbase now delivers end-to-end spend visibility — from procurement to payment.
'Spendbase isn't here to replace your bank or existing cards. Every card has its perks for different needs. Think of Spendbase as the card that comes with the biggest savings. It's a complementary tool in your finance stack, focused entirely on eliminating spend waste.' Max Bondarenko, CMO, Spendbase

Klarna commits $1.25m to environmental moonshots
Klarna, the AI-powered global payments network and commerce network, today announced $1.25M in fresh funding for 18 'moonshot' climate projects for 2025 in a further rejection of the traditional 'carbon offsetting' model. 0 This content is provided by an external author without editing by Finextra. It expresses the views and opinions of the author. The latest funding takes Klarna's total contribution in climate projects to $8.4 million over five years. The fund now supports over 60 initiatives across 27 countries, from cutting-edge carbon removal to community-led forest protection efforts. Klarna has cut its own greenhouse gas emissions by 43% since 2022, putting the company ahead of schedule to meet its 2040 net-zero target. Klarna launched its Climate Transformation Fund in 2021 to take a different approach to fighting climate change. Instead of buying traditional carbon offsets, Klarna puts a price on the emissions it creates and invests that money into real solutions. From scientists developing new ways to extract carbon from the air, to indigenous communities protecting rainforests, Klarna is helping fund projects that often get overlooked but make a real difference. 'When we set out to reduce our own emissions, we realised we could have an even bigger impact by also helping others to develop innovative climate solutions,' said Alexander Farsan, Klarna's Head of Climate and Environment. 'We need big ideas, moonshots to solve the climate crisis, that's why we're backing people with bold visions that don't fit the typical mold for climate finance.' Among the 18 new projects funded in 2025 are: • BluShift - capturing CO2 from seawater in the US • Carbonsate - storing carbon from invasive bush species underground in Namibia • Kairos Carbon – capturing carbon from wet organic wastes in the UK • Releaf Earth – community-based biochar in Nigeria Later this year, Klarna will also fund a new selection of projects beyond durable carbon removal, focusing on decarbonisation as well as nature protection and restoration under the CTF. As in previous years, Klarna is supporting a mix of early-stage and scalable climate solutions—backing scientists, entrepreneurs, and local leaders building a more resilient and low-carbon future.
