Visa Expands Commercial Solutions Hub with Integration of Visa Accounts Receivable Manager

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Visa Inc. (NYSE: V), a global leader in digital payments, today announced an expansion of the Visa Commercial Solutions Hub (VCS Hub), further strengthening how issuers and suppliers connect to scale virtual card programs. Through a new integration with Visa Accounts Receivable Manager (Visa AR Manager), eligible issuers gain built-in access to end-to-end processing designed to reduce operational friction and accelerate commercial card growth.

Virtual cards are among the fastest-growing payment methods in commercial payments yet scaling them remains complex. Issuers often face fragmented supplier connectivity, while suppliers are left with manual reconciliation and inconsistent payment flows. By bringing issuer and supplier networks together, by embedding access to Visa AR Manager in the VCS Hub, Visa is helping to simplify these connections and enable more automated, seamless payment experiences across the ecosystem.

Powering issuer growth through a unified commercial payments platform

Launched in 2025, VCS Hub is a globally available platform designed to help issuers support multiple commercial payment use cases through a single, scalable integration. By unifying Visa’s network capabilities, VCS Hub enables issuers to reduce technical complexity, accelerate time to market, and scale virtual card programs more efficiently across their commercial client portfolios.

“Issuers see strong demand for commercial card solutions, but scaling those programs can be unnecessarily complex,” said Gloria Colgan, SVP, Global Product, Commercial Solutions, Visa. “Visa Commercial Solutions Hub reduces that friction, making it easier to connect with suppliers, deliver new capabilities faster, and drive meaningful growth in commercial payments.”

Driving automation and unlocking scale

Now available in 69 geographies, Visa AR Manager, powered by proprietary AI capabilities, addresses key operational barriers that have historically limited virtual card adoption. Through this integration, issuers can send virtual card payments on behalf of their corporate buyers through Visa AR Manager. Visa AR Manager then provides a virtual card automation service to suppliers that reduces manual intervention, can accelerate reconciliation, potentially improving working capital outcomes for suppliers.

Early adopters of Visa AR Manager are already seeing measurable impact, including efficiency gains through increased automation. One customer reported an 89% reduction in days sales outstanding, realized a 300-basis-point net benefit, and enabled fully automated virtual card processing in under two weeks of implementation.

“Visa Accounts Receivable Manager brings true end-to-end automation to commercial payments,” said Abhishek, Global Head of B2B Acceptance, Visa. “By streamlining how payment and invoice data move between issuers and suppliers, we’re helping unlock the full growth potential of virtual card programs.”

Availability

The integrated capability for issuers is expected to launch in September 2026 and will be available at no additional cost to eligible VCS Hub clients, subject to applicable terms and geographic availability. *
