Do your lunch payments follow the tax limits?
Every year, the Finnish Tax Administration sets the tax limits for the lunch benefit. In 2025, the maximum amount you can pay with your lunch allowance is 13.70€ (if your purchase exceeds this amount, you can pay the rest with another payment method). The minimum limit is 8.60€, so you must have at least this amount on your card to be able to pay (note that if you make a purchase of 1€, your card will always be charged the minimum amount for tax reasons).
Other benefits have no payment limits.
Is the service provider part of the Edenred network?
You can't pay with your benefits at locations that are not part of Edenred's network and does not accept Edenred's payment methods. However, you can leave us a tip and we will contact them as soon as possible and invite them to join our network.
Are you still employed by the company providing the benefit?
At the end of the employment relationship, the employer decides how long employees have time to use their benefits. Also, for example, parental/educational leave is at the discretion of the employer to decide whether the employee can use the benefits.
