Many emerging middle-market companies are eager for more control over their business-to-business payments. From subscriptions to invoices, finance teams want a payment solution that keeps their company cards secure while maximizing rewards, productivity, and working capital. These are the primary reasons why researchers expect virtual card spend to reach nearly $14 trillion globally by 2028, up from $3.1 trillion in 2023.
Extend CEO Andrew Jamison said, “Our ongoing relationship with Visa is a key pillar in our effort to deliver powerful payment technology without asking customers to give up the business card they prefer or the bank they trust. With this referral agreement, we look forward to supporting more Visa-issuing banks and their emerging middle-market clients.”
