From the pioneering years to the
new standard
In 2004 Remco started one of the first Dutch employee benefits platforms. Employees got discounts on theme parks, zoos and theatres. For thousands of people it became a way to do something fun together with a saving.
Raf grew up in that world and saw up close how the market developed. What was once innovative gradually became mass-market. Many platforms were offered for free, but earned on commissions and generic deals in the meantime. Discounts started to feel ever more distant.
“The idea behind CompanyPass came from a simple thought: benefits shouldn't be something occasional, but should have a daily impact.”
That's why we developed a digital pass that's always with you. You show it and the benefit is there immediately. Simple, close by and built to actually be used.
Our milestones
- 2004
The pioneering years
Remco starts one of the first employee benefits platforms in the Netherlands, discounts for the ANWB and De Persgroep.
The market shifts
New players, free platforms, hidden commissions. Benefits become generic and impersonal.
Two generations,
one conviction
During my Entrepreneurship studies at The Hague University I noticed how complicated employee benefits had become. Platforms, commissions and middlemen make discounts unnecessarily expensive, while it can be simple.
CompanyPass is our countermovement. No hidden margins. Real discounts that work for employees and partners alike. Less friction, more value for everyone.
With over twenty years of experience I keep seeing the same pattern: good ideas lose their power the moment they become unnecessarily complex.
That goes for employee benefits too, until we started. By working with 0% commission, the value stays where it belongs. What makes it extra special: I'm building this together with my son.
From Groningen to The Hague
and now across the whole of the Netherlands
CompanyPass started with Amsterdam UMC, Lentis and the Province of Groningen. Through Lentis more healthcare organisations followed, and then large employers from every sector.
Today we work for organisations spread across the entire country. From large financial institutions to government services and hospitals.
“With over twenty years of experience in this market I've learned one thing: the moment there's a layer between the benefit and the people, it loses its value. CompanyPass exists to remove that layer.”
Three choices that make the difference
The digital pass
A pass on your phone can't get lost. Employees always have it at hand and can use it right away. You see this in the numbers: on average 70% activates their pass straight away.
Nationwide and local
From the bakery around the corner to Albert Heijn, New York Pizza, Pearle Opticians and Manfield. We always look for what's nearby first, because that's what you use every day.
0% commission
CompanyPass fits as a subscription within Dutch tax rules (WKR). Partner vendors pay no commission, they join because they want to, not because they have to. This keeps all parties sharp.
