The story
Founded in 2017 as an online car rental aggregator operated under Qompass Voyage Ltd., QEEQ compares prices across 1000+ car rental suppliers worldwide. The company rebranded in 2020 and added a membership rewards program (QEEQ Rewards Club) bundling lifestyle discounts. Its embedded-finance footprint is narrow: it is a merchant accepting payments (including Bitcoin) and reselling AXA-underwritten rental insurance, with Forter for fraud and Sysnet for PCI compliance.
