| Vignetim | Vignetim is a mobility-fintech platform that simplifies cross-border road travel for both individuals and fleets. Instead of juggling multiple national portals, petrol stations and paper receipts, drivers can manage digital vignettes and tolls, eSIM, and insurance in a single app. Vignetim connects to road operators and service providers acrossEurope and Türkiye, normalizes their rules and pricing, and turns them into a unified, user-friendly experience.For end users, Vignetim acts as a “digital co-pilot” for road trips: select your route, vehicle and dates, and the platform automatically suggests the correct vignettes/tolls, validates license plate formats, avoids overlaps, and stores all purchases and invoices in one place. Add-on services like eSIM and insurance can be bundled into the same journey, helping travellers stay compliant, connected and protected across borders.For fleets, banks, wallets and mobility partners, Vignetim offers an API-first and white-label ready infrastructure layer. Partners can embed multi-country vignettes/tolls, eSIM and insurance into their own channels, unlocking new transaction revenue and deepening customer loyalty without building complex country integrations themselves. Vignetim focuses on high-traffic corridors between Europe, Türkiye and the wider OIC region, serving use cases from tourism and labour mobility to logistics and pilgrimage travel. |  | Seed | Mar 27, 2026 |  |
