The Visa Commercial Pay App is the easiest, most secure way to create and send payment for business purchases to employees, contractors or interviewees; removing the need for them to pay using personal or corporate cards.
The Visa Commercial Pay App is also great for corporations using travel agencies to book flights or hotels. The app provides access to flight or hotel booking information and allows travelers to resend authorization forms and take pictures of invoices or receipts.
Cashless payments have become the norm. Paying virtually is something we do naturally for our personal purchases; we no longer need to carry a card.
However, in the world of business, it's still different. Companies may only issue you a plastic corporate card, or you may have to use a personal card or cash and have to submit expense claims, waiting to be reimbursed.
There is a better way to pay for business. The Visa Commercial Pay App supports creating and receiving virtual cards for business on a mobile device across multiple banking partners.
The Visa Commercial Pay App allows anyone in the business who doesn’t typically have access to a corporate card to pay with single-use payment cards for any approved corporate expense.
Cards can be created for employees, contractors or interviewees to pay for business expenses easily and securely.
Virtual cards are secure, unique payment cards created for a single purchase. You can specify how much money you want the card to be available for and when you’d like to use the card, and we’ll instantly create a card for you to use.
Virtual cards are great for corporations as all spend data flows back to a single centralized account with powerful centralized data. As an employee, you are no longer out of pocket and don't need to submit expense claims.
The Visa Commercial Pay App works by generating secure virtual payment cards on a mobile device for a single online purchase.
Payments can be triggered in two ways:
Employees can create cards directly on their mobile device.
Finance managers can issue cards to an employee's device for a predefined amount, supplier and duration, using the Visa Commercial Pay Control desktop interface.
