Macro effects on B2B card acceptance and procurement efficiencies
Exploring the macro-economic actions affecting B2B card acceptance and alternative options to streamline procure-to-pay processes amidst these changes. We’ll examine how financial institutions are working with platform providers to increase card program usage across all industries and payment categories, both domestically and globally, for middle market clients. While SMBs and some large market clients are seeing card acceptance grow in certain areas, middle market clients are seeing attrition in optional acceptance and are being affected the most by macro trends influencing vendor decisioning.
