P-Card & Payables Cards
Initial P-Card Deployment
Inconsistence Approach
Multiple programs in
place with multiple
banks
Acceptance rate of card
brand can vary
Cards don’t support
cardholders — they don’t
work when needed
Different functionality by
country; makes
implementation,
management and
training more difficult
Collating paper expense
reports for approval gives
no visibility of data
Disparate card programs
provide limited or no data
electronically or create
paper processes
Reporting solutions
should be web based and
available 24/7/365,
multi-currency, multi-
language and should
support multiple countries
Lack of integration with
EMS & ERP systems
Company level support
needs to be available
within office hours for
program administrators
Cardholder support not
multi-lingual
Lack of local knowledge
and expertise around
highly complex country
laws and regulations
Card provider that is not
part of an integrated
treasury model
Lack of skilled client
advisory services and
single point of contact for
card solutions
