Using their HSBC business cards, joint customers will be able to simplify essential processes
Extend, a leading virtual card and spend management platform, announced a partnership with HSBC, one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organizations. HSBC will offer Extend solutions to its commercial card clients in the U.S. to help companies manage spending with the flexibility and control of virtual cards. Using their HSBC business cards, joint customers will be able to simplify essential processes – like closing the books at the end of the month – and instantly empower anyone, anywhere to make business payments. Extend’s digital solutions are now available to HSBC U.S. Commercial Card Clients with additional features coming in early 2023.
“We celebrate the opportunity these businesses will have to experience spend management the way it should be: activated from the very card they already have and focused on helping them save time, understand their businesses better, and control their working capital.”
Thousands of businesses use Extend to easily create, send, and manage virtual cards, and ultimately control spending across their organizations. Using Extend’s mobile or Web app, admins can set one-time, multi-use, or recurring card limits and rules; set budgets so leaders can create virtual cards for specific employees and expenses; and automate payment reconciliation as it happens. From pre-booking travel for events, to billing expenses back to legal clients, small and mid-market businesses trust Extend as a feature of their banks’ business cards.
