Soldo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Soldo is a spend management platform from London. It issues physical and virtual prepaid Mastercard cards to businesses and their teams, sets spend limits and approval workflows, and offers a mobile app for receipts and expense reporting. Finance teams receive real-time reporting and integrations with accounting software. The platform is used online through a dashboard and apps.

Soldo Software Ltd is registered in London. The group also has an Italian subsidiary and an Irish entity that provides financial services in the EEA. The pages checked do not name shareholders or a controlling owner, so no foreign parent has been identified. The company states that it complies with UK and EU data protection law, but it does not say where customer data is stored or whether it leaves the UK or EU. European organisations should check hosting and transfer terms before choosing it.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Soldo

Soldo is headquartered in GB, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Soldo hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Soldo is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Soldo together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
