Commercial card payment professionals are eager to adopt capabilities that provide convenience, increased security and process improvement. Mobile payment channels are one way for companies to achieve these goals.
PNC is one of the first U.S. banks to extend mobile payment functionality to a commercial card product suite. We expect this new capability will help our commercial card clients to better meet the changing demographics and payment preferences of their employee base in this constantly evolving payment landscape.
Clients can now add a PNC commercial card to a mobile wallet app to make in-store purchases at merchant locations that accept contactless payments and “in-app” purchases when the corresponding mobile wallet icon is displayed as a payment option. This provides a convenient and secure payment option for business travelers, while also streamlining the back-end reconciliation process for administrators.
To start using one of the following mobile wallet applications, cardholders must ensure their branded eligible device is running the most recent version of software.
