The story
Bee Vale started in 2020 as a Brazilian benefits-management SaaS and evolved into an embedded-finance play by issuing its own Mastercard multibenefit card (vale-refeição/alimentação/mobilidade/cultura) and layering corporate expense advances and reimbursements. Through the Somapay tie-up it is expanding beyond benefits into payroll, digital accounts, and insurance — moving toward a broader HR-financial-OS for Brazilian SMBs.
