FREE NOW partners with American Express

Corporate customers of the mobility as a service app FREE NOW for Business can now connect their accounts to their American Express Business Travel account, thanks to a new partnership between the two companies.

The partnership covers seven European countries (Austria, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the UK).

FREE NOW for Business is a ride-hailing solution, and has more than 30,000 client companies across Europe. FREE NOW is backed by the BMW Group and Mercedes-Benz Mobility.

By linking with American Express BTA, companies can consolidate their travel expenses in a central account, saving time on expense management.

This allows for increased visibility of travel expenses; greater control of compliance with corporate travel policies and preferred suppliers; and the centralised payment of travel expenses.

Mariusz Zabrocki, General Manager of FREE NOW UK, said: “An efficient payment method is a critical part of business travel management.”

Hana Lear, Vice President, Corporate UK Card Services at American Express, said: “By integrating FREE NOW for Business with our American Express Business Travel Account, companies can centralise their ground transportation booking, payment and reconciliation process in a single location. This supports the automation and consolidation of expense management, driving an improved customer experience for both travellers and travel managers.”
