PingPong's new Business Payment Solution Provider (BPSP) offering enables corporate buyers to settle any supplier invoice using their existing commercial card, including suppliers that do not accept card payments, extending working capital by up to 45 days without additional debt. The solution is live in the UK, EU and Hong Kong, with rollout to the US and Singapore scheduled across 2026.
LONDON, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PingPong, the embedded financial infrastructure for global businesses, today announced the launch of Card to Account Payment Solution, a new Business Payment Solution Provider (BPSP) offering developed in partnership with Visa. The solution enables businesses to settle any supplier invoice using their existing commercial credit card, even when the supplier does not accept card payments.
PingPong is one of only three foundational providers chosen by Visa for this BPSP programme, a recognition of PingPong's licence depth, compliance infrastructure and global payout capability.
Closing the gap between card rails and supplier bank accounts
Mid-market and enterprise finance teams face a familiar squeeze. Bank financing can be expensive and many B2B suppliers, particularly across the EU and UK, do not accept cards. Under a traditional wire transfer cash leaves the business on Day 1 to Day 3, with no way to extend payment terms without straining supplier relationships.
Card to Account Payment Flexibility removes that barrier, allowing buyers to pay by card. The supplier receives the funds as a standard bank transfer, in T+0, T+1 or T+2 for most currencies, exactly as they would under a wire. No supplier onboarding required, no change to the supplier's workflow, no disruption to the relationship. The buyer retains 45+ days of working capital without taking on debt.
David Messenger, CEO of Global Businesses at PingPong, said "Most B2B suppliers don't accept cards, which leaves a vast portion of corporate spend stranded outside the most efficient working capital tool businesses already hold. PingPong's Card to Account solution closes that gap. Partnering with Visa to bring this to market reflects the standard of compliance, capital safeguards and global reach that serious commercial card programmes now demand. It is also the next step in scaling our embedded financial infrastructure into the corridors and product verticals where global businesses actually move money."
PingPong x Visa partnership
Trust in B2B payments is not just an attribute, it's our core product. CFOs and treasury teams moving high-value invoices through a new payment rail need confidence that the provider sitting between buyer and supplier is regulated, capitalised and operationally resilient. Our partnership with Visa provides that confidence at the point of decision.
Lucy Demery, SVP Head of Visa Commercial Solutions, Europe said:
"Businesses need more flexibility in how and when they pay. Through our partnership with PingPong, we're extending the value of commercial card rails beyond traditional acceptance, enabling secure payments and improving working capital for buyers and suppliers."

Bitcoin hat am Montag seine jüngste Erholung fortgesetzt und erstmals seit Januar wieder die Marke von 80.000 US-Dollar überschritten. Am Morgen notierte die grösste Kryptowährung bei rund 80.466 Dollar und legte damit innerhalb von 24 Stunden um etwa 2,9 Prozent zu. Marktbeobachter verweisen auf ein spürbar freundlicheres Umfeld für risikoreichere Anlagen, das die Nachfrage nach digitalen Assets wie Bitcoin stützt.
Analyst Timo Emden führt den jüngsten Kurssprung insbesondere auf die allgemein höhere Risikobereitschaft der Investoren zurück. An den Aktienmärkten hatten zuletzt besser als erwartet ausgefallene Unternehmensgewinne im Technologiesektor für Rückenwind gesorgt. Parallel dazu hatte sich der asiatische Aktienindex von MSCI seinem Rekordhoch angenähert, das im Februar vor der Zuspitzung der geopolitischen Lage im Nahen Osten erreicht worden war. Diese Mischung habe laut Marktteilnehmern die Stimmung für wachstums- und technologieorientierte Anlagen aufgehellt – wovon auch Kryptowährungen profitieren.
Einen zusätzlichen Schub erhielt Bitcoin durch die Auflösung von Wetten auf fallende Kurse. Anleger, die auf sinkende Preise gesetzt hatten, sahen sich angesichts des anziehenden Marktes gezwungen, ihre Short-Positionen einzudecken. Diese Rückkäufe wirken wie zusätzliche Kauforders und können Aufwärtsbewegungen verstärken. Ein solcher Short-Squeeze habe die Dynamik nach oben deutlich erhöht, heisst es aus dem Marktumfeld.
Aus technischer Sicht könnte das Überschreiten der 80.000-Dollar-Marke weitere Bedeutung entfalten. Emden zufolge gilt diese Schwelle als wichtiger Widerstand, dessen Überwindung von vielen Marktteilnehmern als Befreiungsschlag wahrgenommen wird. Der Bruch eines derartigen Niveaus kann neue Käuferschichten anziehen, die auf eine Fortsetzung der Rally setzen. Ob sich der Aufwärtstrend verstetigt, dürfte jedoch davon abhängen, ob das freundlichere Sentiment an den globalen Finanzmärkten anhält und ob es zu erneuten Gewinnmitnahmen nach dem schnellen Anstieg kommt.
