Fintech Blueprint interviews Andrew Jamison, CEO of Extend, a financial infrastructure platform revolutionizing virtual cards. Jamison discusses how virtual cards enhance spend management, streamline reconciliation, and integrate seamlessly with banks and platforms like SAP Concur. The conversation explores the future of financial management, embedded B2B payments, and the evolving role of the CFO in a digital-first economy.
Notable discussion points: Virtual Cards = Smarter Spend Management Virtual credit cards revolutionize payments by enabling real-time reconciliation, reducing fraud, and improving financial control—especially for SaaS, digital ads, and legal expenses. Extend’s Edge: Partnering with Banks, Not Disrupting Them Unlike Brex and Ramp, Extend powers virtual cards on existing bank-issued cards, making adoption seamless for businesses while strengthening bank relationships. B2B Payments Go Embedded The future of finance is embedding payments directly into platforms like SAP Concur - letting CFOs manage expenses within the tools they already use. From Enterprise-Only to Instant Access Virtual cards once took months to implement. Extend’s API-first approach makes them deployable in minutes, bridging the gap between legacy banking and modern finance.
