Versapay's Barrett Smith Speaks on the Importance of Virtual Cards for Retention
- 2 min read
In this Tearsheet feature, Versapay's Chief Payments & Customer Operations Officer, Barrett Smith, speaks on the rise of virtual credit cards and why accepting them is so important to customer retention.
From the article:
"In our personal lives, we all find it frustrating when a business won’t accept the method you want to pay with. B2B transactions are no different. 80% of buyers we spoke to prefer working with sellers who accept virtual card payments. And even more critically, 59% of buyers stated that they’d consider selecting (or switching to) a competing vendor because of their ability to accept virtual credit card payments.
Imagine putting in all the work it takes to acquire and onboard a customer, only to have them leave because you make it difficult for them to pay. Retention is critical in times like these, and accepting virtual credit cards is a powerful way to boost it.
Put simply, choosing not to accept virtual credit cards is choosing to give buyers a reason to take their business elsewhere."
