Mayday is Xero Emerging App Partner of the Year! Expensify to Open Its First Premium Lounge in San Francisco

EXPENSIFY, A PAYMENTS SUPERAPP THAT HELPS INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES AROUND THE WORLD SIMPLIFY THE WAY THEY MANAGE MONEY, HAS TRANSFORMED ITS SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE INTO A PREMIUM LOUNGE OPEN TO ALL EXPENSIFY MEMBERS AND THEIR GUESTS WITH AN ANTICIPATED OPENING ON MONDAY, APRIL 24TH.

"For over a decade, we've traveled overseas as a team for a month a year. And wherever we go, we always seek out the same ideal work environment: a hip cafe with great coffee, strong cocktails, and cool strangers," says David Barrett, founder and CEO of Expensify. "But coming back to our office was always such a buzzkill… so we decided to do something about it. We renovated it to an unreasonably nice degree and added a high-end Tokyo-style espresso/ cocktail bar, on the 16th floor of the Financial District. And now we're sharing it with our customers, to work alongside us, as we try to Live Rich, Have Fun, and Save the World. You've gotta work somewhere, you might as well do it someplace awesome."

The Expensify Lounge includes exclusive perks such as lightning-fast wifi, private meeting rooms, snacks, and a full selection of craft coffee, tea, and high-end specialty cocktails. The entire experience -- from ordering a drink to recommending a hotel or booking a flight -- is handled through Expensify’s in-house, chat-based Concierge service.

Our Journey

To have won this award on the eve of our first birthday is a testament to the huge progress we have made in such a short period of time. Mayday launched on 20 April 2022 with our mission to mend month end for finance teams. We started by focusing on the pain points of having multiple entities as a business:
