Wallester Review
Wallester has serious advantages in the employee cards market. We gave a very positive rating for two reasons: the first one is the price. Wallester is indeed very affordable even with a large number of corporate cards to be issued: no registration fees, no card issuing fees and a free subscription with 500 virtual cards and an unlimited number of physical cards.
The second advantage of Wallester is its simplicity. From setting-up an account to issuing the first card, it takes no more than 10 minutes. Estonia's reputation in financial technologies is well established (eg: Wise) but Wallester strikes again with its affordable, simple and powerful service.
Benefits
- Hundreds of cards for free
- Easy to set up
- Seriousness and good reputation
Disadvantages
- Statistics and employee management not yet operational (coming soon)

This account must be topped up by bank transfer (free of charge) with an amount equal to or greater than the estimated budget to cover all business expenses (such as the purchase of office equipment, marketing expenses or software products).
Once the account is topped up, virtual and physical bank cards can be issued instantly and given to each employee who needs it. Wallester account allows manager to control employees’ card : payment limits, restriction based on the type of spending, withdrawal limit, etc.) and the mobile application allows employees to control their budget and scan receipts.
