## Perk Spend lands in the US
The travel and spend platform, headquartered in London and Boston, brought its Perk Spend product to American businesses on Tuesday, September 15.
## A billion dollars in work trips
Perk's existing US customers already run more than $1 billion a year through work travel and team events. The spend product is aimed straight at that flow.
## The tools stopped keeping up
CEO Avi Meir's pitch is that American travel budgets grew while the software to control them did not. Perk is selling one AI-native platform with agentic features instead.

> US companies are spending more on travel every year, but the tools to manage it aren't keeping up.
## Europe proved the bundle
After Perk Spend launched in Europe, up to 40% of new deals became combined travel and spend sales. The US already supplies 30% of new business globally.
## Keep your card, add controls
Bring your own card lets finance teams keep an existing corporate card program while everything reconciles through Perk. A Perk charge card with cashback is coming next.

> Finance leaders don't want to choose between control and flexibility, they want both.
## Trips with a business case
PYMNTS argues 2026 travel matters for its intent, not its volume: supplier visits, customer acquisition, market expansion. With 57% of US SMBs sourcing overseas, cross-border payments follow.

> Organizations are traveling with greater intention, focusing on activities that create measurable business value.
## Key takeaway

Perk's US play is bundling: sell spend management to companies already booking travel through you, then add a card.
