Boston, December 2, 2021 – Virtual cards have exploded onto the payments scene over the last few years, but many businesses and corporate entities remain unclear about what virtual cards really do and how these cards can help their organization. This lack of understanding is hindering growth for existing virtual card issuers and payment providers but creates opportunities for payment providers that can help businesses navigate their misconceptions.

This Impact Report provides insight into the views of a range of organizations, from small businesses to large corporations, on virtual cards and helps issuers more effectively target these customers. It is based on a quantitative survey, sponsored by Discover Global Network, of 251 payment decision-makers with small, midsize, and large enterprises in the U.S., which was conducted in Q1 2021, and is backed up by a series of qualitative interviews with industry stakeholders.
