Which option fits which business?
Pleo
UK and European teams that want card limits, approvals and receipt capture without adopting an enterprise finance platform.
Airwallex
Companies that need multi-currency spend, cross-border operations or several entities in one finance workflow.
Wise Business
Lean international businesses whose main problem is holding, converting and spending across currencies.
Ramp
US-based companies that meet Ramp's eligibility rules and want cards, expense controls and finance automation together.
Payhawk
Larger or more complex organisations operating across the US, UK or EEA that need central control over several entities.
Pleo is the clearest first test for a smaller European team; Airwallex for international, multi-currency operations; Wise Business for a lean transfer-and-card workflow; Ramp for eligible US companies wanting a broad finance stack; and Payhawk for complex multi-entity control. None is a universal winner.

How the options differ
Pleo
Company cards, expenses, reimbursements, invoice handling and accounting connections in one spend workflow.
Strengths
- Cards, reimbursements and invoices in one operating flow
- Published controls, approvals and accounting integrations
- A plan path from a three-user starter setup to multi-entity operation
Keep in mind
Availability, card terms, FX charges and accounting connections depend on country and plan. Price every cardholder and required entity.
Airwallex
Global accounts, cards, expenses, reimbursements, approvals and finance-system integrations designed around international operations.
Strengths
- Multi-currency accounts and global card workflow
- Expense policies, approvals and reimbursements
- Published connections to major accounting and ERP platforms
Keep in mind
Products and pricing are market-specific. Verify entity eligibility, card issuance, currencies, transfer fees and the exact US or local plan before deciding.
Wise Business
A multi-currency business account with team cards, spending limits and international transfers rather than a full procure-to-pay suite.
Strengths
- Hold and transact in many currencies
- Team cards with limits and real-time visibility
- Transparent conversion-led pricing model
Keep in mind
Wise Business is not a like-for-like replacement for a deep AP, procurement or multi-step expense-governance platform. Availability and fees vary by country.
Ramp
Corporate cards, expense management, accounts payable, procurement and accounting automation in one US-focused platform.
Strengths
- Free published entry tier with unlimited cards
- Expense, AP and accounting workflows in one platform
- Policy controls and automation for growing US teams
Keep in mind
Ramp has a hard US eligibility gate, including entity, cash, operating-presence and physical-address requirements. Non-US companies should not treat it as an available default.
Payhawk
Cards, expenses, accounts payable, procurement and ERP integrations with enterprise multi-entity control.
Strengths
- Multi-entity management on the Enterprise tier
- Cards, expenses, AP and procurement modules
- Published ERP and accounting integrations
Keep in mind
The published US entry price is materially above small-team tools, and multi-entity capability requires Enterprise. Confirm country coverage and scope before procurement.
Checklist before you buy
