Bank of America : Is Top U.S. Issuer of Visa® and Mastercard® Commercial Solutions

Bank of America has retained its ranking as a top issuer of Visa and Mastercard commercial credit and prepaid solutions in the U.S. The 2018 rankings were published by The Nilson Report, a financial industry publication covering card and mobile payments.

Bank of America's commercial card programs are managed within the Global Transaction Services (GTS) business that develops solutions to address a company's overall treasury and working capital needs.

'Our clients increasingly see the value that card solutions bring to their treasury organizations,' said Jennifer Petty, head of Global Card and Comprehensive Payables Solutions in GTS at Bank of America. 'The commercial card industry is rapidly evolving, and it is important for us to help our clients grow their card programs and create efficiency by leveraging capabilities like APIs, mobile capabilities and seamless integration of virtual cards into travel and procurement processes.'

Client demand fuels our innovation and as such, Bank of America invests heavily in our card platform to increase security, expand product capabilities and extend geographic reach. Recent examples include: Launch of mobile wallet for commercial and prepaid cards in North America. Enhanced Virtual Payables and Virtual Travel solutions. Mobile-friendly cardholder and program administrator tools. Contactless cards across the globe.

The bank's leadership in card programs is attributed to both the technology investments and its dedicated team of professionals who advise companies on the best solutions for their needs and best practices for card program implementation, adoption and administration.

'We're passionate about being advocates for our clients and understanding their goals and challenges as we help them transform their payables from paper to electronic,' said Fernando Iraola, co-head of Global Corporates Sales GTS at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. 'We appreciate the trust our clients have in us. That trust is reflected in our market leadership position, continued growth in card programs and payments, and other treasury solutions across our platform.'
