In fact, these key players in business travel, each in their own field, have entered into a partnership to <strong>connect the urban mobility solution to American Express business travel card accounts<\/strong>. This enables centralised payment of taxi and VTC bills from the company's Business Travel Account (BTA). Companies also gain greater visibility over all aspects of urban transport expenditure, as well as optimising administrative tasks by automating payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/freenow-taxi-paris-tsygalnitzky-20220601.html\/\" data-id=\"125883\">Dimitri Tsygalnitzky (FREENOW): \"It was only natural to deploy taxis in Paris\".<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p>\"\u00a0<em>We know that an efficient means of payment is an essential element of business travel management.<\/em>\" said Valentin Naidja, VP Global Sales at FREENOW for Business. \"\u00a0<em>By integrating FREENOW for Business into the American Express BTA Business Travel Card Account, companies can <strong>centralise the booking, payment and reconciliation of ground transport expenditure<\/strong> in one place <\/em>\" underlines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/empreinte-carbone-brezes-american-express-20220518.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pierre-Fran\u00e7ois Br\u00e9z\u00e8s<\/a>Managing Director of the Corporate Division at American Express in France.

Since 2021, FREENOW has already been working to expand its multimodal offering by providing up to eight modes of mobility within a single application (taxi, VTC, car-sharing and car hire, scooter, electric bike and scooter, public transport).
