Our take
Yokoy is a spend management automation company, offering corporate credit cards and AI-powered expense and invoice management. The company’s all-in-one fintech platform easily integrates with existing ERP systems and works in multiple currencies, providing midsize to large enterprises with actionable insights through its adaptable and intuitive platform.
While the company faces competition within the market against Spendesk, Pleo, Moss and more, Yokoy has proven itself to be a strong competitor, growing 400% year-over-year. The company previously acquired Innflow, expanding its SAP-centric information system capabilities, and has over 500 enterprise customers, including Bitpanda, On, and DPD Group.
The company’s latest Sequoia Capital-led funding has fuelled the company’s European expansion, with the “soonicorn” company present in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Serbia, and now Spain. By continuing to focus on expansion and its mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategies, market-leading Yokoy is well set to see further accelerated growth and expansion.
