By centralizing information from your bank in one place, you eliminate the risk of errors and late fees and allow your company to maximize program benefits and focus on what matters most: your business.

Here’s how corporate cards and p-cards work, and how 黄色短视频 Expense and its extended solutions can help you manage them.

What are corporate cards and p-cards?

Corporate cards and p-cards have different benefits and use cases. Choosing one over the other depends on your company's needs and the nature of your business spending.?

  • Corporate Cards are credit cards issued to employees for expenses such as travel, meals, and lodging. They allow an employee to spend as they need (within an approved limit), whether while traveling on business or for any other work-related purpose and give the company a way to monitor spending.?
  • P-Cards are lines of credit used to buy supplies, subscriptions, or tools in the organization’s name at preferred vendors. They can have set spending limits and can only be used on approved items, giving a company improved cash flow management in real time.?

Both corporate cards and p-cards give added visibility into and control over company spending. They also both have the added benefit of cost savings and rewards, depending on your bank.
