Built on MasterCard’s In Control platform (ICCP), the new card offers improved levels of security against unauthorised and fraudulent transactions, supplemented by modern reporting and reconciliation tools.
After securing organisational approval, the virtual cards can be only generated when needed for a single use or a specified number of uses.
Additionally, supplier category or specific suppliers can be configured as per business requirement, which helps corporate’s to streamline cumbersome invoicing and working capital management processes.
Mashreq head of payments Pankaj Kundra said: “The card is set to only provide our corporate clients significant convenience in making payments, but also equips them with the ability to streamline their payment processes and optimise supplier management efficiency using a state-of-the-art platform.
