“Can a French CSE benefits catalogue become a pan-European embedded-finance platform where every employee perk is spent on a branded card?”
Founded 2016 in Lyon as a digital CSE (works-council) platform aggregating discounted offers, culture, travel and gift cards for French employees. In 2024 the company moved beyond catalogue vouchers into embedded finance, launching an own-branded Mastercard debit card with Weavr so employees can spend their CSE budget anywhere. In 2026, with Verto Growth backing, it swapped/added Mangopay as its wallet-first multi-party payments backbone to support B2B2C flows and European expansion.
