graspPAY: Powering the Next Generation of Virtual Travel Payments with Mastercard’s VCN Ecosystem

In today’s complex travel and payment landscape, efficiency and control aren’t just “nice-to-haves”—they’re essential. That’s why Grasp Technologies is leveraging Mastercard’s Virtual Card Number (VCN) ecosystem to deliver smarter, faster, and more flexible B2B payment solutions through graspPAY.

graspPAY’s embedded VCN solution transforms travel payments across multiple touchpoints—and Mastercard’s VCN ecosystem accelerates adoption and scale.

●       Consolidation all employee spend  (air, hotel, rail)

●       Automated reconciliation with detailed datasets that streamline finance and accounting

●       Reduced expense reporting costs via reduced employee time and effort submitting reports

The result is a truly seamless, secure, and flexible payment experience.
