Key takeaways

  • Manual supplier payments increase costs, slow approvals and raise fraud risk
  • Virtual Card creates unique numbers and custom controls for every transaction
  • Virtual Card embedded in an ERP can provide more secure and more seamless payments globally

[SOFT MUSIC]

In a world of increasing automation, paying suppliers is still surprisingly hands-on and inefficient. Manual processes, reconciliation challenges, and the ever-present risk of fraud slow you down, increase costs, and reduce efficiency. Disconnected systems make it harder to control spend and optimize working capital. That's why more organizations are turning to virtual cards, a better way to help streamline payment processes and make supplier payments.

How? You can instantly generate a unique virtual card number for every transaction with custom controls such as spend limits, supplier restrictions, and defined usage windows. Payments can be more secure, automated, and optimized for visibility and control. And by embedding virtual card solutions into your existing systems, that efficiency extends all the way through approval and execution.

Approvers can trigger secure payments directly within the systems they already use. When virtual cards are embedded into your ERP or procurement platforms, payments become part of the process, not a separate step-- no screen switching, no duplicate data entry, just faster, smarter payments. You also unlock the potential for greater rebate revenue from the increased usage of virtual cards as the payment method. And with the right supplier enablement, adoption can be more seamless.

Transforming payment processes worldwide

Despite advances in automation, supplier payments remain manual and inefficient across global markets. Manual reconciliation, fraud risks and disconnected systems can slow processes, increase costs and limit a business’s ability to optimize working capital. That’s why organizations around the world are adopting virtual cards to help streamline payments and enhance control. 

Streamlining payments and unlocking global value

Integrating virtual card solutions can reduce the need for screen switching and duplicate data entry, resulting in more efficient payment workflows across global supplier networks. Increased adoption of virtual cards may also contribute to greater rebate revenue. Additionally, supplier enablement programs can help facilitate smoother implementation and acceptance of virtual card payments worldwide.

Embedding virtual cards to help maximize control
and security

Virtual Card technology enables the generation of unique card numbers for every transaction—no matter where suppliers are located. It also helps set custom controls, including spend limits, supplier restrictions and usage windows, to help maximize security and visibility.

By embedding virtual card solutions into ERP or procurement platforms, payments can be initiated directly within existing systems, allowing approvers to process transactions efficiently as part of routine workflows. Approvers can trigger payments more seamlessly, making payments part of your global process—not a
separate step.
