Discover, a direct bank and payments company, and JAGGAER unveiled a new procure-to-pay solution leveraging spend management capabilities from the JAGGAER One platform and the global infrastructure and settlement capabilities from the Discover Global Network. The Discover Global Network will now support payments on JAGGAER One Platform’s vast network. Discover will work with JAGGAER to bring virtual card numbers as a solution in early 2020 followed by other payment method options later that year.
“JAGGAER and Discover have a long history of listening to customers and are entering into a synergistic relationship to deliver the full value of virtual cards, with features that enable reconciliation. We know that our shared customer base will embrace our drive to take payment processing to the next level,” said Zia Zahiri, Chief Technology Officer at JAGGAER.
The new payment capabilities will allow for the ability to process payments in one system rather than having to manage multiple procurement systems. By delivering enhanced data, reducing the amount of paper transactions accounts payable departments may transition from a cost center to a profit center.
