Pay One-Time Suppliers with a Virtual Card

Take control of long tail spend and eliminate one-time supplier onboarding by paying suppliers with a virtual card. Reduce invoice processing volume and focus on more strategic tasks.

Restrict Access to Card Details

Issue virtual cards on POs and invoices, limiting their usage to a particular supplier. Card details are securely sent directly to the supplier or the employee who requested the card. The card amount and the card’s expiration date can be restricted reducing security and credit exposure risk.

Improve Spend Under Management

Drive more pre-approved spend with employees using virtual cards in Coupa Pay, instead of their personal cards. Gain visibility into spend that was previously accounted for only upon the receipt of the expense report.

Increase Adoption and Drive More Spend thru Virtual Cards

Generate higher bank rebates with increased supplier and employee adoption of virtual cards due to the user-friendly interface and automated processes. Virtual card payments also eliminate the need to file expense reports, which further incentivizes employees to use this payment method.
