Mastercard is pioneering a future where consumer-grade simplicity can be the norm for B2B payments. As consumers, we book a ride or order a coffee, and the payment for these services is seamlessly embedded. Today, Mastercard is introducing two new innovations – Commercial Connect API and clearing controls – to accelerate that same intuitive ease and unlock enhanced controls across B2B transactions.
As companies face growing pressure to operate smarter and stay resilient, the demand for modernized payments is rising. With 77% of CFOs planning to boost technology spending in 2025, many are turning to turnkey solutions, like virtual cards, for their ability to integrate into existing workflows, streamline payment processes, reduce fraud risk, and improve cash flow. It’s why Mastercard continues to enhance its virtual card platform and scale embedded payment experiences to meet increasing demand and evolving corporate needs.
“We are committed to empowering enterprise growth around the world through smarter, digital-first solutions,” said Marc Pettican, global head of Corporate Solutions, Mastercard. “By enhancing access to our commercial payments technology and unlocking more sophisticated virtual card controls, our goal is for payments to be so seamless and secure they fade into the background — freeing organisations to focus on what truly matters: growth, innovation, and people.”
