The untapped potential of commercial credit cards

Corporate credit cards can be a win-win for companies and their employees. For employees, they’re a convenient and rewarding way to pay for expenses, and for companies, they provide better transparency and control over their spending.

But Ellen Winterod, senior product manager at FIS, says that’s starting to change. As the COVID crisis shakes up ways of doing business, companies have new incentives to embrace commercial credit cards and their evolving digital capabilities. Will commercial cards continue to catch on with the middle and lower ends of the market? Is catering commercial card offerings to this segment a risky play for financial institutions, or an untapped opportunity?
