On July 29, 2025, Mastercard Incorporated announced the global expansion of its Receivables Manager, an automated solution developed to streamline the acceptance and processing of virtual card payments for businesses worldwide. The move is part of Mastercard’s broader strategy to drive digitization in business-to-business (B2B) payments, an area many global suppliers are increasingly prioritizing.
Receivables Manager is designed to automate the reconciliation of virtual card transactions, decrease the need for manual data entry, and directly integrate with businesses’ Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The platform consolidates card payments from all issuers, matches remittance data to open invoices automatically, and converts payment and remittance information into ERP-compatible formats. According to Mastercard, these improvements enhance cash flow visibility for businesses and facilitate early payments, thereby improving overall efficiency and financial management.
Alongside the Receivables Manager expansion, Mastercard has also introduced Commercial Direct Payments, a straight-through processing solution that fully automates both virtual card payments and their subsequent reconciliation. This offering enables buyer-initiated card payments to be processed directly with the supplier’s acquirer, further reducing the manual steps traditionally involved in the payment process. The funds are deposited automatically, and remittance data is fully integrated into accounts receivable workflows. Mastercard says this innovation aims to minimize administrative burdens and foster stronger buyer-supplier relationships by ensuring payments are fast, secure, and seamless.
These new product offerings are a response to findings from a recent Mastercard-commissioned global survey of B2B suppliers, which revealed that 93% of respondents consider digitizing payment processes a top priority for their organizations. Despite this, two-thirds of suppliers acknowledge that they still struggle to meet their buyers’ payment expectations, highlighting ongoing inefficiencies in existing systems.
As a leading multinational payments technology company headquartered in Purchase, New York, Mastercard’s expansion of these digital payment solutions aims to accelerate the digitization of B2B transactions around the globe. The company stated that through automation and advanced integration, it is seeking to address persistent reconciliation challenges and elevate the standard for electronic B2B payments worldwide.
