Pliant is a German company entering the scene, but it’s a competitive one. It's hoping to stand out through prioritising seamless software integrations, competitive cashbacks, and a new optional feature offsetting travel-related CO2 emissions. The latter is incredibly novel and has undoubtedly won the company some press in an increasingly sustainability-oriented climate.

Plaint’s offering of both physical and digital cards, as well as its suite of advantages and services have enabled the company to be highly adaptable within the growing payments market. The company has, thus far, entered seven additional European markets and expanded its customer portfolio sixfold. Following its Series A funding in early 2023 Pliant is set to further expand operations and its business reach.
