The company is headquartered in London and operates in Europe and the United States.[1][2][3][4]

History

Payhawk was founded in 2018 by Hristo Borisov, Konstantin Dzhengozov and Boyko Karadzhov. The company initially focused on developing software to automate employee expenses and centralise company payments.[1][5]

In 2024, Payhawk announced plans to expand its operations in the United States and indicated it was considering acquisitions as part of its expansion strategy.[9] In 2025, the company introduced artificial intelligence features designed to support finance teams with tasks such as expense categorisation and approval workflows.[10]
