Purchasing Card
Simplify purchasing and keep expenses under control
Our Purchasing Card can help replace your traditional paper based invoice, payment and reconciliation processes with a simple card transaction. It can also help you streamline your procurement process, manage cash flow and strengthen supplier relationships.
At VAT-registered suppliers, you won't need an invoice or purchase order. And for these transactions, our reports are approved for reclaiming VAT.
It's easy to set up a Purchasing Card programme. Our dedicated team will help you and train your cardholders.
Transaction Data Matching
Managing your payments is made easy with our Transaction Data Matching service.
This automatically matches your business's electronic orders with the related electronic supplier invoices. It then sends a tailored file to your accounting system. Thousands of payment orders can be processed in seconds, with all the matched invoices being charged centrally.
