In its latest ‘State of expense management report 2025’, Findity tracked the evolution of expense management across ten international markets.
Covering the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland), the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, France and the US, the report compared data from 2022 and 2024, and revealed key trends shaping the expense management landscape.

“Businesses recognise the need for scalable, mobile-first solutions to streamline expense handling.”
Expense apps have seen consistent growth across all markets surveyed, increasing by an average of 5%, with some markets showing adoption increases of up to 8% to 9%.
