Mooncard raises $5.7 million for its expense platform

French startup Mooncard raised a $5.7 million funding round (a5 million) from Raise Ventures, Aglai(C) Ventures and business angels. The company provides a service to track and manage your company's expenses with the help of good old plastic cards.

Corporate credit cards aren't as widespread in France as in the U.S. and other countries. That's why fintech startups have been trying to find a way to streamline expenses for French startups.

Mooncard lets you get as many cards as you want for your team. Managers can set different kinds of rules with different limits and validation processes.

Every time you pay with your card, you get a text message with a link. When you tap on the link, you can take a photo of the receipt, add details and submit your expense. Your accounting team can see expenses in real time and share reports with accountants.

Behind the scenes, companies create a specific account for expenses and top up that account. Mooncard works with Wirecard for the banking integration.

So far, 1,000 companies are using Mooncard, such as Air France, Vinci, Virtuo, Ledger and others. Companies pay between a13 and a15 per user per month, and Mooncard plans to have 200,000 users within three years.
