Bank of the West Joins Forces With Extend to Optimize B2B Payments with Virtual Card Distribution and Management

Commercial clients across the U.S. can quickly improve spend management processes using their existing Bank of the West Commercial Card and Extend

Extend, a leading virtual card and spend management platform, today announced a collaboration with Bank of the West, which has more than 600 branches and Commercial Banking Offices across the Midwest and Western United States. Bank of the West small and mid-size clients can begin using Extend in minutes, without any technical integration or additional application process required. The pairing gives users a simple, powerful way to control company credit cards and streamline spend management.

Businesses are often challenged by tedious, manual processes for managing essential payment tasks, from paying vendors to reconciliation. Virtual cards solve many of these challenges, but access to virtual cards has traditionally been limited to enterprise-sized clients. That is no longer true with Extend, which brings the benefits of virtual cards to any business. When businesses pay with Extend, they can automate otherwise time-consuming finance operations and get real-time control and insights on company card spending.

“Bank of the West is committed to optimizing B2B payments, and our relationship with Extend offers our clients an efficient, easy-to-use solution for better spend management,” said Dominique Fracchia, Managing Director at Bank of the West. “Using Extend and their Bank of the West cards, businesses can create, distribute, and manage virtual cards to pay vendors, empower employees, track spending, and more.”

After signing up for Extend and enrolling their Bank of the West Commercial Card(s), users can access Extend via web or mobile to:

  • Create unique virtual cards with dynamic spending limits, expiration dates, and tags
  • Send any number of virtual cards directly from the application to themselves, employees, vendors, suppliers, contractors, and others
  • Give employees a budget with which to issue virtual cards
  • Attach purchase orders and receipts to transactions
  • Manage recurring expenses and subscriptions
  • Approve, modify, or cancel virtual cards at any time

Extend CEO and Co-Founder Andrew Jamison said, “With Extend, Bank of the West is delivering new spend management capabilities that ensure its clients don’t wonder who paid what, when, why, or to whom.
