Do you still have a stack of paper receipts on your desk? Is your reconciliation process tedious?

City National’s Visa Commercial Card is a technology-leading, safe, and efficient purchasing tool that can help position you for future financial success.

Earn rewards points or cash back that can be redeemed for merchandise, travel, gift cards, or more cash.* Did you know it costs money to issue checks for each and every transaction? On top of generating revenue, you can help to distribute costs in the short term and reduce the amount of money it takes you to, you guessed it, pay money.

Would you like to quickly provide real-time funds to a cardholder or a colleague— without a card?  Utilize on-demand features with virtual cards powered by Extend.1 This online virtual card platform ensures that business never stops due to not having a card to swipe, or in this case, tap. Immediate money available, no card sharing necessary.

In addition to our fraud prevention tactics, you can take advantage of Visa benefits including travel insurance, rental car coverage, and $100K liability waiver for employee misuse.†

View your balances, transactions, and statements; make and schedule payments; and view information for all authorized cards by simply logging into your account online. 

Log onto your customized online platform to create accounts, control access levels, change card limits in real time, transfer data to your accounting programs with ease, and limit purchases through merchant category code management.
