BCD Travel and Mobilexpense deepen strategic alliance for connected travel and expense in Europe

UTRECHT, The Netherlands, Oct. 29, 2026 – BCD Travel today announced a deeper strategic alliance with Mobilexpense, strengthening its connected travel and expense proposition for organizations and international companies with significant European operations.

The alliance combines BCD’s global expertise with Mobilexpense’s more than 20 years of expense-management experience, helping customers connect travel and expense while benefiting from the strength of both organizations.

The collaboration strengthens BCD’s Open by Design approach, providing customers greater flexibility to connect best-of-breed travel and expense solutions rather than requiring them to consolidate onto a single closed platform. A BCD Marketplace partner since 2022, Mobilexpense has created an integrated ecosystem with BCD powered by shared data that will seamlessly connect booking and expense, reduce manual work and give travel and finance teams a clear and accurate view of trip costs. New integrations resulting from the collaboration include real-time expense report creation automated flow of invoice images, and single sign-on (SSO) between Tripsource and Mobilexpense.

The result is a more complete trip record with fewer manual handoffs, and more actionable insights. This brings fewer duplicated entries and easier expense completion for travelers, as well as stronger program insights for travel teams, and effective traceability, control and reconciliation for Finance.

“Our advanced partnership with Mobilexpense is part of BCD’s ongoing investment in expense management, particularly for our European customers,” said Yannis Karmis, executive vice president of Product Planning & Development at BCD. “As a customer of Mobilexpense ourselves, BCD trusts their technology and expertise. We’re bringing together two best-of-breed solutions to control and optimize travel and expense management.”

Mobilexpense shares a similar client base as BCD, ranging from local SMEs and mid-market businesses to multinational enterprises. The company’s European footprint is particularly relevant since its platform combines expense management and payment capabilities with features designed around European requirements, including daily allowances and country-specific compliance needs.

“The total cost of travel isn’t just the booking. It’s taxis, parking, meals, per diems and all the other expenses. That can get chaotic fast. Tripsource handles the booking, and together BCD Travel and Mobilexpense connect those expenses automatically, giving companies a clearer picture of the total trip cost without creating extra work for travelers and finance teams,” said Jonas Colombe, CEO at Mobilexpense.

The longer-term direction of the alliance is deeper two-way connectivity between BCD’s Tripsource platform and Mobilexpense. It will be available to customers in 2027. BCD and Mobilexpense will continue to collaborate on integration development, customer engagement and future enhancements that support a more connected travel and expense journey. BCD and Mobilexpense will bring the connected travel and expense experience to life at GBTA Europe in Vienna, 2–4 November 2026.
