Careem has become the first digital platform in the region to offer a corporate payments solution across multiple app services through ‘Careem for Business’.

The service allows companies to manage and pay for employee expenses centrally across rides, food and grocery delivery, logistics, and other services.

Through a single account, businesses can onboard employees, set spending controls, and receive one consolidated monthly invoice.

Employees can use company-provided allowances without submitting reimbursements or claims.

The service covers a range of needs, including team lunches via Careem Food, office pantry restocks through Careem Quik, supplies on Careem Shops, and deliveries with Careem Box.

At checkout, employees switch to “Business” mode and pay using the company’s approved method.

For finance and administrative teams, Careem for Business provides a dashboard with visibility of employee spending, enabling tracking, budgeting, and cost control across departments.

Spending controls can be applied by department, time, or location.

Previously, Careem for Business was available only for rides, which has already facilitated over one million corporate bookings.

Organisations across telecommunications, banking, and consulting sectors have used it for employee transport.

The expansion now covers broader corporate needs across multiple services.

Bassel Al Nahlaoui, Chief Business Officer at Careem, said:

“With one account, businesses can streamline operations, keep tighter control over budgets, and make everyday tasks, whether it’s a ride to a meeting, ordering lunch, or managing office deliveries, much easier for their teams.”

Careem for Business now includes Careem Rides, Careem Food, Careem Quik, Careem Shops, and Careem Box in the UAE, offering companies unified access to mobility, food and grocery delivery, and logistics services through a single account.
