Do commute benefits expire? What happens to them at the end of the year?

By law, your home-to-work travel benefits are based on the calendar year. This means that on 31/12 each year, any unused amount in your account will expire and be automatically returned to your employer.

You therefore have until 31/12 inclusive to use your mobility benefits. After this date, you’ll see the expiry directly in your Home-to-work travel account. The relevant account will be marked as Expired.

📆 In summary

After 31/12/25, you’ll no longer be able to use your 2025 mobility benefits with your Swile card or submit new reimbursement requests. You’ll need to wait for your 2026 top-up to make new claims 😊

👀 What about my ongoing reimbursement requests?

👉 Sustainable mobility expenses

Reimbursement requests for sustainable mobility expenses made in 2025 that are still being processed will continue to be reimbursed using your 2026 home-to-work travel benefits.

👉 Transport subscriptions

Reimbursement requests for transport subscriptions made in 2025 will be closed once they have been fully reimbursed from your 2025 account. If you want to continue receiving reimbursement for the following year, you’ll need to submit a new reimbursement request with a transport certificate for 2026.

📌 Please note!

You’ll need to activate your new Home-to-work travel account by signing your declaration of honour for the new year!
