Careem has launched ‘Careem for Business’, a corporate payments solution that allows companies to manage employee expenses across multiple services through a single platform.
The service enables businesses to centrally control payments for rides, food delivery, grocery shopping, logistics, and other transactions. Companies can onboard employees, establish spending controls, and receive one monthly invoice through a single account.
“Submitting expense reports and reimbursements can be a headache for employees, office managers, and finance teams. Careem for Business removes that burden by giving companies a simple, transparent way to manage work-related expenses. With one account, businesses can streamline operations, keep tighter control over budgets, and make everyday tasks – whether itโs a ride to a meeting, ordering lunch, or managing office deliveries – much easier for their teams. Weโve been a trusted partner for corporate rides for years, and weโre excited to bring that same simplicity across more of our services,” Bassel Al Nahlaoui, Chief Business Officer at Careem said in a statement.
How Careem for business works for companies
Employees access company-sponsored allowances without submitting reimbursement claims or managing multiple vendors.
The service covers team meals through Careem Food, grocery orders via Careem Quik, office supplies on Careem Shops, and deliveries with Careem Box. Employees switch to “Business” mode at checkout to use the company’s payment method.
Finance and administration teams receive a dashboard that displays employee spending data. The system allows tracking, budgeting, and cost control across departments. Controls can be configured by department, time of day, or location.
Services covered under Careem for business platform
Careem for Business previously operated exclusively for rides, processing over one million corporate bookings for tens of thousands of employees.
Organisations in telecommunications, banking, and consulting sectors use the service for employee transport.
The platform now includes Careem Rides, Careem Food, Careem Quik, Careem Shops, and Careem Box in the UAE.
Careem is the first platform in the region to provide companies with access to mobility, food delivery, grocery delivery, and logistics services through one account.
