Pliant acquires hi.health
Berlin-based Pliant has acquired Vienna-based hi.health to expand its presence into the insurance sector by combining its payment infrastructure with hi.health’s reimbursement expertise.
This marks Pliant’s second acquisition, following its 2023 purchase of Friday Finance.
hi.health will continue to operate independently, leveraging Pliant’s infrastructure to scale and enhance its offering.
Founded in 2020, Pliant supports over 3,500 businesses and more than 20 partners across 30+ countries. The company issues Visa-powered credit cards in 11 currencies through its modular, API-first platform designed to streamline payments, improve cash flow, and serve industries with complex payment needs such as travel, fleet, and now insurance.
hi.health was founded in 2019 by Fredrik Debong and Sebastian Gruber to simplify reimbursement workflows. Its platform enables insured individuals to submit invoices and prescriptions for reimbursement directly through a mobile app, eliminating the need for upfront payments.
