Businesses increasingly expect payments to happen seamlessly within the systems and workflows they already use. That's why we're continuing to invest in the future of virtual cards. Today, Mastercard announced new enhancements to Mastercard In Control®, helping enterprises, financial institutions and platform partners manage virtual card programs with greater security, control and scalability. From advanced lifecycle controls to simplified access through a single API, we're making it easier to embed secure payments into the experiences businesses rely on every day. And while we're proud of what we've built, don't just take our word for it. Mastercard In Control was recently recognized by Kaiser Associates as an industry-leading virtual card platform.

Small businesses often juggle a lot when it comes to managing their finances. When financial information is spread across different systems, it can be harder for business owners to stay on top of their cash flow and make informed decisions with confidence. That's why we're excited to partner with Intuit on the new Intuit Business Credit Card, a World Elite Mastercard that brings spending, credit and financial insights together in one connected platform. For business owners, that means easier access to capital, real-time visibility into credit and rewards that help every dollar go further. The card brings together Intuit's simple, all-in-one financial platform with the security and global acceptance of Mastercard's network. Together, we're helping simplify the day-to-day work of running a small business — freeing up business owners to focus on their passion. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gPkiTCCx
