WP2 Investments Case Study: From Investor to Everyday Sparados User
Updated: 5 hours ago
When an investor becomes a user and then an ambassador, it is a strong sign that a product works. WP2 Investments did not only support Sparados with capital: the fund implemented the platform, and its team uses Sparados virtual cards every day.
For several years, WP2 has paid for travel, operating costs, partner events and benefits with Sparados cards issued in seconds, and its finance team settles expenses with accounting integrations instead of paperwork. This case study shows why the fund chose Sparados, how it uses the platform and what changed.
Case Study at a Glance
Client: WP2 Investments, a fund focused on companies in the fintech space and an investor in Sparados
Industry: Investment, fintech
Challenge: Issuing cards, documenting expenses and keeping track of spending had to be simple for a small team that also wanted to know the product it invested in firsthand
Solution: Sparados virtual cards for travel, operating costs, events and partner benefits, managed 100% online and connected to accounting systems
Result: Card issuance in seconds, much less time spent documenting expenses, more control over spending and less time resolving discrepancies
About the Client: WP2 Investments
WP2 Investments is a fund focused on companies operating in the fintech space. Its decision to invest in Sparados was a natural step: the fund appreciated the business model, the pace and scale of growth and the practical application of the product.
Just as important was the opportunity to experience Sparados firsthand. WP2 did not stop at the investment decision; it moved straight to operational implementation.
The Challenge: Everyday Expenses Without Paperwork
The people who handle expense reporting every day see most clearly what works and what does not. For the WP2 finance team, the key needs were:
Simple card issuance: giving cards to users had to be quick and transparent.
Control over spending: the team wanted to know what was happening and avoid things slipping under the radar.
Fewer discrepancies: processing transactions and reconciling them with accounting had to take less time.
As an investor, WP2 also wanted to test the product in real daily work, not only on paper.
The Solution: Sparados Cards Managed 100% Online
Implementing Sparados cards was quick and intuitive. For several years now, WP2 has been using them for:
Travel and operating costs: business trips and everyday company expenses.
Events and partner meetings: organising events and meetings with partners.
Benefits: providing benefits to collaborators and business partners.
How It Works
The finance team issues a new virtual card in just a few seconds.
Users pay with the card, with no physical plastic card and no excessive bureaucracy.
Every transaction is visible in the Sparados platform in real time.
Documents are added without scanning invoices or long email threads.
Integrations with accounting systems such as Saldeo, Comarch Optima, inFakt and Insert pass transactions on for processing.
Control in One Place
In the Sparados client console, WP2 tracks expenses in real time and has full control over company spending. Everything is in one place, which also makes the platform a tool for identifying savings and optimisation.

For WP2 Investments, Sparados is not just a virtual payment card but a platform for managing company expenses:
Card issuance in seconds: the process of issuing cards to users has become very simple and transparent.
Less time on documentation: documenting expenses is much less time-consuming.
More control: the team knows what is happening and fewer things slip under the radar.
