Shuttel and Enfuce Join Forces to Launch Open-Loop Mobility Card for Smarter Business Travel in the Netherlands

Helsinki, Amsterdam 3 June 2025 – In a bold step towards redefining employee mobility, issuer processing powerhouse Enfuce has announced a strategic partnership with Shuttel, a leading provider of mobility-focused expense management and employee benefit solutions backed by Volkswagen Financial Services and Pon. Together, they are launching a next-generation open-loop mobility payment card in the Netherlands, designed to streamline corporate mobility and transform how companies manage mobility-related benefits and expenses.

Powered by Enfuce’s cloud-native platform and advanced processing capabilities, Shuttel is expanding its offering by adding an open-loop solution alongside its existing closed-loop model. This powerful move unlocks greater flexibility, smarter spending controls, and a significantly improved user experience, positioning Shuttel at the forefront of smart, connected mobility services tailored for today’s evolving workforce.

The new card is an open-loop Visa Fleet 2.0 solution that will initially cover fuel, charging and parking expenses across the Netherlands. The card goes beyond traditional fleet solutions by combining universal Visa acceptance with advanced spend controls, real-time expense tracking, instant transaction visibility, and AI-driven fraud prevention. Built for business mobility, it also ensures full regulatory compliance. This milestone launch gives companies unprecedented control, transparency, and efficiency in managing mobility-related benefits, paving the way for smarter, more sustainable mobility programmes.

At the heart of the partnership is Enfuce’s modular platform, designed for regulatory strength and flexibility, alongside its BIN sponsorship capabilities and proven expertise in the mobility space as the first issuer processor in Europe certified for Visa Fleet 2.0.

With Enfuce as a strategic partner, Shuttel is doubling down on its mission to make mobility smarter, easier, and more efficient, shaping the future of workforce mobility through innovation and adaptability. This partnership also cements Enfuce’s role as a trailblazer in the future of mobility, empowering fleet and mobility providers with smarter, faster, and more secure payment solutions.

Monika Liikamaa, Enfuce’s co-CEO and co-founder says: “Our collaboration with Shuttel marks a major milestone in bringing Visa Fleet 2.0 to the European mobility landscape. This is a leap forward in how companies manage mobility, unlocking faster, more secure, and scalable payment options through open-loop technology. Together, we’re setting a new standard for flexible, compliant, and user-friendly mobility solutions across the Netherlands.”

Denise Johaanson, Enfuce’s co-CEO and co-founder says: “Mobility is evolving fast, and this partnership puts us at the centre of that transformation. By combining our expertise with Shuttel’s leadership in the Dutch market, we’re helping to shape the future of how companies manage mobility, making it smarter, more efficient, and compliant for their workforce.”
