Zevoy vs bank corporate cards — why companies are switching

OP Corporate Gold, Nordea First Card, and Eurocard Corporate handle payments. That's where they stop. Everything after the purchase — receipts, categorisation, VAT, bookkeeping — is still manual. Zevoy automates the entire chain.

Receipt automation

Employee pays → push notification → scan receipt in app → OCR reads amount, VAT, merchant → receipt matched to transaction. Or with ReceiptHero: receipt attaches automatically, zero action required.

Accounting integration

Expenses export directly to Netvisor, Procountor, Fortnox, NetSuite, or 23 other systems. Complete vouchers with receipts, VAT codes, cost centres, and correct account mapping. One click, not one afternoon.

Everything in one place

Cards, receipt scanning, expense categorisation, travel claims (per diem and mileage), subscription management, approval workflows, and accounting export — one app, one export. Not five systems glued together with spreadsheets.

Visibility and control

Admin sets per-card spending limits, sees expenses as they happen, and freezes cards instantly. No waiting for monthly statements to discover problems.

What the bank gives you

What the bank gives you

A card. Transactions appear on a monthly statement. That's the service.

What you still have to do

What you still have to do

  • Collect receipts from every employee — chase them via email, Slack, or walking to their desk

  • Match receipts to transactions — manually, often weeks after the purchase

  • Categorise expenses — manually assign account numbers and VAT codes

  • Enter data into your accounting system — type it in or build a spreadsheet

  • Handle travel expenses separately — per diem and mileage in a different system or on paper

  • Manage subscriptions — no visibility into which SaaS tools are charging what

What this costs in practice

What this costs in practice

For a company with 20 cardholders, the manual process typically means 5–10 hours per month of admin and bookkeeper time just on expense handling. That's time spent on data entry, not financial oversight.

Can I keep my existing bank relationship?

Yes. Zevoy doesn't replace your bank account — it replaces your bank's corporate cards with smart cards that automate the expense process. Your bank account, business loans, and other banking services stay as they are.

How do Zevoy cards compare to bank cards for payments?

Zevoy cards are Visa Business cards, accepted everywhere Visa is accepted. They work with Apple Pay and Google Pay. The payment experience is identical — the difference is what happens after the payment.

What about SFTP connections from my bank?

Some banks offer SFTP connections to accounting systems like Bezala. These transfer transaction data with a 1–2 day delay and don't include receipts, categories, or VAT codes. Zevoy's API integrations push complete, categorised expense data with receipts attached.

Is switching complicated?

No. Zevoy's onboarding takes about 30 minutes with our Customer Success team. Physical cards arrive in 5–7 business days. Virtual cards are available instantly. You can run both systems in parallel during transition.

What does Zevoy cost compared to a bank card?

Bank corporate cards typically charge per-transaction fees or annual card fees. Zevoy uses fixed monthly pricing. For most companies, the time saved on manual expense handling far outweighs the subscription cost.
