About this talk.

Even though virtual cards have been part of the payments system for over ten years, there remains a lack of clarity around how they work and their value to companies large and small. In this 20-Minute Tales from the Frontlines of Finance, we’ll talk to Eoin Hession, Controller at Recharge, about how his company uses virtual cards in their operations. We’ll discuss what it took to shift from plastic to virtual cards and how the adoption of virtual cards has helped provide additional visibility and control to their company’s spending. If you’ve never had the pleasure of creating a virtual card nor enjoyed the benefits of their approval workflows, automatic syncing to the GL, and continuous audit trail, join us to get up to speed on this increasingly mainstream payment innovation.
