About Our Sponsors

Barclaycard Commercial

Barclaycard Commercial is at the forefront of developments in the commercial card industry, with a proud 40 year track record of innovation. As a leading provider of Visa Commercial Cards in Europe we have brought to market a significant number of payment innovations, and in recent years, moved away from the concept of plastic cards towards payment solutions that fully integrate into the end-to-end value chain.

We have adopted a Fresh Thinking approach to business-to-business payments, extending our solution set to cover both new categories of spend and addressing the specific requirements of new segments within our customers’ overall expenditure.

Our portfolio of solutions includes plastic purchasing cards as well as embedded and virtual cards, rendering many manual invoice settlements, credit checks and other time consuming processes redundant, reducing your administration costs.

Our solutions are supported by our online platforms, Online Services and our new system -Barclaycard Spend Management - which offers card administration, expense workflow management and sophisticated reporting in over 15 languages.
