Follow on Google News | Growing P-Card Programs: Engaging with SuppliersNew research from Mercator Advisory Group examines changing economics and mechanics of B2B payments
By: www.mercatoradvisorygroup.com Mercator's latest report, Growing P-Card Programs: Engaging with Suppliers, examines issues of supplier acceptance, the major constraint on potentially explosive growth of B2B card payment volume. The report describes recent developments with respect to transaction pricing, as well as technology-based enablement, which may lead to faster adoption in the next five years. Highlights of the report include: A revised estimate of growth in the P-card segment of commercial cards, assuming that current progress in supplier recruitment and enablement continues A wholesale view of the value chain for merchant acquiring services and how it differs from the value chain for retail merchant acquiring Identification of the several innovative technology solutions that meet the needs of different buyer segments or supplier segments, whether by size, frequency, or industry Profiles of several firms staking a claim to a portion of the wholesale merchant acquiring value chain Patricia McGinnis, author of the report and Director of the Commercial and Enterprise Payments Service, comments, "It is already frequently possible to make card-enabled trade the most desirable alternative for both counterparties. If the infrastructure players modify transaction pricing to recognize the different economics of higher value transactions, the win-win can apply to more buyer-supplier relationships." The report is 28 pages long and contains 12 exhibits. Companies mentioned in this report include: American Express, AOC Solutions, Boost Payment Solutions, Bora Payment Systems, Direct Insite, Inc., Invapay Payment Solutions, MasterCard Inc., Solvit Software, Vendorin, Inc. Visa, 3 Delta Systems, and Fedac Processing.
