  • Here's how it works for corporate travel

    Step 1

    Authorised individual or travel agent generates Virtual Credit Number (VCN) for travel itinerary, personalised for each step of the journey.

    Step 2

    Suppliers (airlines, hotels, car rental agencies) receive VCNs.

    Step 3

    Supplier gets paid when traveller initiates that part of the journey (for example, picks up car).

    Step 4

    Reconciliation is simplified as cash management is enhanced.

  • Here’s how it works for procurement and reconciliation

    Step 1

    Authorised individual logs onto the Virtual Pay portal and requests a Virtual Card Number (VCN) for a specific purchase.

    Step 2

    This purchase gets approved by line manager. Their approval causes VCN to be generated and sent to person requiring approval.

    Step 3

    The employee can then make the purchase using the VCN.

    Step 4

    Merchant/vendor processes transaction through 'Card not Present' process.

    Step 5

    Virtual Pay system validates transaction.

    Step 6

    Reconciliation is simplified as each purchase has corresponding purchase order (PO), invoice and receipt.
