Edenred

Edenred is a French multinational company that develops and distributes prepaid corporate services and employee benefit solutions. Its offerings are centered on programs such as meal and food vouchers, gift and incentive certificates, and a broader set of lifestyle, wellness, and mobility benefits for employers, public sector bodies, and non-profit organizations. Benefits are delivered through a combination of prepaid cards, paper vouchers, and digital platforms, enabling merchants to accept payments and employees to access funds via cards, apps, or online portals.

The company traces its origins to the Accor group’s services division and was established as a standalone entity in 2010. Edenred built on the legacy of established voucher programs and expanded its geographic reach and product range through organic growth and acquisitions. Today it operates in numerous countries across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific, serving a diverse client base that includes multinational corporations, public institutions, and small and medium-sized enterprises.

Edenred’s product portfolio covers several core families: meal and food vouchers, gift and incentive solutions, employee benefits, fleet and mobility services, and health and well-being programs. It emphasizes digital administration, offering online platforms and mobile applications that help employers manage budgets, monitor usage, and ensure compliance with local regulations. The company generates revenue primarily from service fees and commissions related to voucher issuance, program management, and the network of participating merchants and payment partners.

As a publicly traded company listed on Euronext Paris, Edenred is governed by a board of directors and an executive management team. Its business model rests on partnerships with merchants, banks, and payment networks to deliver scalable benefits programs worldwide.
