General

Can I apply for a Soldo account using my personal email address?

No, you can’t apply for a Soldo account using your personal email address. That’s because the account will belong to the company you work for, rather than to you as an individual. We can’t accept any email addresses from free service providers such as Gmail or Yahoo.

Don’t worry if you’ve already tried to apply using your personal email address. You can simply try again using your work email address.

What types of businesses can apply for a Soldo account?

Soldo only offers services to businesses that are incorporated entities. At the moment, we are unfortunately unable to help sole traders. We will let you know if this changes and you are able to sign up with Soldo at a later time.

Soldo was founded in 2015 with the objective of creating the world’s first multi-user spend control solution, and to help businesses of all sizes manage company spending in a smarter, more efficient way. With our headquarters in London, the Soldo team also works across offices in Dublin, Milan and Rome. Read more about us here.

What if I want to leave Soldo?

Transaction data can be exported in XLSX, CSV, QIF and OFX formats, making your data compatible with all major accounting software solutions.
