VIRTUAL PAYMENT
Choice of Payment Solutions
VIRTUAL CARDS
Incorporating virtual payment solutions into travel programmes saves money and reduces admin.
Digital payment cards are created at point of sale with a standard 14, 15 or 16-digit card number and used in place of a traditional plastic card.
Virtual cards provide better transparency across travel programmes; benefiting bookers, finance teams and travellers alike.
Spend Transparency
SECURE TRANSACTIONS
Similar to a physical card, a virtual card generates an expiration date, cardholder name and CVV security code.
Travel Managers can pre-determine card usage including amount, date range and approved suppliers, ensuring travel policies are adhered to.
A unique card number associated to each transaction provides a clear journey for payments, automating reconciliation and tracking auxiliary travel spend.
Inclusive Programmes
EXPENSE MANAGEMENT
Adopting virtual cards, more of your employees can enjoy the benefits of a corporate card when travelling, this even extends to infrequent travellers, contractors and temporary staff.
By setting a limit on the card, you can manage the spend and reduce any need for complicated invoicing, bill-back, cash advances or reimbursement procedures.
With full integration, travellers can access and confirm payment details straight from the app.
Keep Control
AUTOMATED RECONCILIATION
