Intro

Virtual cards don't have to replace the way you already pay.

Your existing payment methods may provide valuable credit terms, support established supplier agreements or simply work well for particular types of payment.

TL Virtual Cards can sit alongside them.

Use your existing payment methods where they continue to make sense, and TL Virtual Cards for eligible suppliers where you can benefit from cashback opportunities, payment controls and improved reconciliation.

It's not about moving every payment to a virtual card. It's about identifying the payments where a virtual card can add more value.
