Updated this week

Take control of company spend with Pemo cards. Set clear limits, approve merchant categories, and stop overspending before it happens. Manage everything in the app—freeze, block, or tweak limits in seconds. Simple, smart, and flexible.

Our cards work like debit cards. They draw funds from your Pemo wallet and are powered by Mastercard.
