Free Now has launched a new flexible payment method for its business clients.

The new Mobility Benefits Card is a virtual prepaid card that allows users to choose the mode of transport best adapted to their private or commuting travel needs.

The Mobility Benefits Card expands on Free Now’s existing mobility budget allowance that is used specifically for transport within the app.

With the new Mobility Benefits Card, this budget can now be spent on any travel option, including public transport tickets, bikes and car rentals, even if the service is booked outside the Free Now app.

Mariusz Zabrocki, general manager at Free Now UK, said: “The new Mobility Benefits Card is a game-changer for our business clients.

“Now, they can take full control of their benefits budget.

“Employees can simply pick what mobility option fits their immediate private travel or commuting needs and use the Mobility Benefits Card to pay for it.

“It’s also a great benefit to attract and retain talent, with 60% of employees revealing they strongly consider the benefits package before accepting a job.”

Valentin Naidja, vice president sales at Free Now, added: “As the future of work evolves, so too must the way we think about travel.

“Our new mobility benefits card is the perfect solution for companies looking to decrease their carbon emissions and offer a more flexible range of travel options, giving employees the flexibility they need and look for in today's workplace.”

The new payment card is available to all Free Now for Business clients in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, and will be expanding to further countries in early 2023.
