Marjory + Edenred Corporate Payment: The solution to offer virtual payment cards to clients

Marjory has announced a partnership with Edenred Corporate Payments, an innovative single-use or reusable virtual MasterCard solution for supplier payment optimisation. The goal of this partnership is to help marketplace operators make payments more secure through an integrated solution, and to allow them to offer an additional methods of payment to their clients.

Marketplaces, which connect buyers and sellers on a web platform, have become a growing phenomenon in recent years, fuelling the growth of e-commerce and even shifting B2B trade habits.

Corporates are increasingly resorting to these platforms to source and manage suppliers, as well as to purchase products and services. The more suppliers on a marketplace, the more payment methods there are, and credit or debit card is almost always one of them, with its proportion on the rise.

But traditional bank cards — usually plastic cards emitted by a company’s bank — offer zero control on their usage, and are not adapted to B2B payments: no transaction traceability, significant charges for payments in different currencies, high risk of fraud, etc. Additionally, it can be complex to manage this method of payment if the marketplace doesn’t allow for the easy creation of personalised individual accounts with associated payment rights.

Edenred Corporate Payment makes it possible for marketplace operators to offer a secure and flexible payment solution to their clients. Through to a virtual card generated for a specific purchase (via a web portal or API), the marketplace can prevent fraud risks and provide instant security for its payments. And as an added bonus, the solution greatly optimises account reconciliation: since each card is generated for an individual transaction, it can easily be given a unique reference, which then appears on the reports provided by Edenred Corporate Payment.

Thanks to the partnership between Marjory and Edenred Corporate Payment, operators can now give their clients access to these secure payment services through designated processes on the Marjory interface. This way, buyers are able to leverage the use of virtual cards for each transaction conducted on the platform.

“Edenred Corporate Payment will allow our marketplace operator clients, including e-procurement marketplaces, to simplify and automate all or parts of their payment processes, particularly when managing third-party services in the B2B market,” explains Kamel Tansaout, Founder and CEO of Marjory.

“Marjory grants our virtual payment card solution outstanding flexibility and speed of integration within the operational and technical settings of our operator clients. It also gives us an opportunity to position our solution in the dynamic marketplace sector,” says Julien Leroy, Business Developer at Edenred Corporate Payment.
