Visa Partners PingPong for Global Business Card to Account Payments Launch

(26 May 2026 – United States) Visa has partnered PingPong to launch a new Business Payment Solution Provider (BPSP) Card to Account Payment offering.

The solution enables corporates to settle any supplier invoice using their existing commercial credit card – even if the supplier does not accept card payments.

PingPong, the embedded financial infrastructure for global businesses, is one of only three foundational providers chosen by Visa for this BPSP programme, a recognition of PingPong’s licence depth, compliance infrastructure and global payout capability.

Middle market and enterprise CFOs and treasurers face a familiar squeeze – bank financing can be expensive and many B2B suppliers, particularly across the EU and UK, do not accept cards. Under a traditional wire transfer cash leaves the business on Day 1 to Day 3, with no way to extend payment terms without straining supplier relationships.

Card to Account Payment Flexibility removes that barrier, allowing buyers to pay by card. The supplier receives the funds as a standard bank transfer, in T+0, T+1 or T+2 for most currencies, exactly as they would under a wire. No supplier onboarding required, no change to the supplier’s workflow, no disruption to the relationship.

“Businesses need more flexibility in how and when they pay. Through our partnership with PingPong, we’re extending the value of commercial card rails beyond traditional acceptance, enabling secure payments and improving working capital for buyers and suppliers” stated Visa Commercial Solutions, Europe SVP Head, Lucy Demery.

“Most B2B suppliers don’t accept cards, which leaves a vast portion of corporate spend stranded outside the most efficient working capital tool businesses already hold. PingPong’s Card to Account solution closes that gap. Partnering with Visa to bring this to market reflects the standard of compliance, capital safeguards and global reach that serious commercial card programmes now demand. It is also the next step in scaling our embedded financial infrastructure into the corridors and product verticals where global businesses actually move money” PingPong CEO of Global Businesses, David Messenger.
