Glede isn't like regular gift cards - it's a flexible, digital and universal gift card solution designed for businesses that want to give employees something they actually appreciate.

Here are some key differences:

πŸ’³ 1. Can be used everywhere

While many gift cards are tied to one store or shopping center, the Glede gift card can be used in all stores and online shops that accept Mastercard. This gives the recipient enormous freedom of choice

πŸ“± 2. 100% digital

Happiness is delivered digitally via SMS or email, and can be added straight into Apple Pay or Google Pay.

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ 3. No logistics to worry about

Forget address collection and physical delivery. With Glede, you can send out gift cards to your entire company in minutes - with your logo and a personal message.

🌱 4. A more environmentally friendly choice

Digital distribution means less waste and a lower carbon footprint compared to physical gift cards.

❀️ 5. Option to donate

The recipient can choose to use the gift card themselves - or donate the full amount to charity.
