In this first episode we will explore the environment for card payments and how they can resolve issues of compliance, control and security within the Requisition to Pay process. Vincent will be arguing that card payments are an essential tool for delivering business value for both the buyer and the supplier, but that there is a need for behavioural change to facilitate adoption. Some issues we will cover are the purpose of B2B payment cards, how to get staff to do what they are supposed to do, how to deploy effective controls to enable spend at approved suppliers and how to minimise security and risk. Introduction to HSBC Visa Podcasts:HSBC and Visa are launching a one-off podcast series of six episodes, hosted by financial expert Vincent Eavis. The aim of the series is to look deeper into the Requisition to Pay process and make the case for card payments, but in a way that is accessible and engaging for those who don’t necessarily have an in-depth understanding of some of the processes involved. Vincent will be joined in these podcasts by guests including David Kitchener from Wessex Water, Joanne Towers, Managing Director, Europe Regional Head of Payments and Cards, Global Liquidity and Cash Management at HSBC and Duncan Kennett, Head of B2B at Visa Europe. For more information about anything that you have heard in this podcast, please click here.
