How to unlock the power of virtual cards to revolutionise corporate payments

Virtual payment cards have the potential to enhance and simplify the payment journey for consumers and companies. The opportunity to offer a seamless integrated payment process using virtual cards has several benefits and is increasing the popularity of this payment solution. Companies cannot afford to continue using paper-based and manually intensive payment processes.

The increasing demand for touchless payment options that was accelerated by the pandemic is seeping into the corporate world, where a host of new integrated payment options are hitting the market.

Virtual cards are emerging as a popular and easily deployable solution. In fact, B2B expenditure is expected to make up 80% of the virtual card market by 2025. The global virtual card market is expected to triple by 2025 and reach an estimated spend in excess of $5 trillion.

So, why is it important for financial institutions to include a virtual solution in their commercial card offering?

A virtual card is a secure way to pay for goods and services without having to issue physical cards to employees. B2B virtual cards improve accounts payable (AP) processes, benefiting both buyers and suppliers by streamlining day-to-day payments, providing greater control over cash flows and embedding rich data with payments. These cards have enhanced security, compared to other credit cards and payment methods. B2B virtual card market is driven by exploding mobile device usage, as the payment method can only be used for designated scenarios, such as AP payments and online or mobile purchases.

The demand for new and safe B2B payment methods continues to grow as more companies adopt remote work policies and continue to fight fraudulent activity on traditional payment rails.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
