Emburse Puts Cards on Mastercard Network

Emburse has partnered with Mastercard as the new payments network for Emburse Cards, which the travel and expense management provider said will add security and efficiency to its payments product.

Among the security benefits, being on the Mastercard network will give Emburse Cards clients MasterCoverage and Mastercard ID Theft Protection to help guard against fraud and identity theft, according to Emburse. Cardholders also can access Mastercard’s HealthLock offering, which protects medical identities and data.

The Mastercard network also will increase data capabilities of Emburse Cards, according to the company. Transaction details such as hotel and airline information from the network can be automatically populated into Emburse’s expense reporting products, which will give more detailed travel spend reporting and can in turn be used in supplier negotiations and policy strategy.
