“The results of this survey show numerous areas where Commercial Card providers can both educate and better serve their end-user clients,” said Diane McGuire, NAPCP Man-aging Director. “Solutions available today address top areas of concern such as control and security related to all product types. Solutions including automated compliance mon-itoring and mobile alerts are not yet commonly adopted by end-users but could address their most commonly identified barriers to growth. Supplier resistance has long been a barrier to maximum EAP implementation throughout the industry. Providing flexible terms through dynamic discounting and other options will go a long way to making EAP adop-tion a more viable option for making payments.”
Survey results identify and measure barriers to program growth and success, identifying key opportunities for provid-ers. The top barriers are security, employee use of personal cards, and lack of upper management support.
Diane McGuire, CPCP NAPCP Managing Director
In the area of barriers to more spend on P-Card Programs, respondents indicated that management concern is the biggest barrier, followed by policy restrictions.
Controls and compliance and incentive/rebate pro-grams were the two most frequently reports aspects of T&E cards that could be improved.

Attitudes Towards Emerging Technologies
Only 10% of respondents indicated they were likely or very likely to use Mo-bile Payments in the B2B space.
Payment security topped the list of concerns. Pro-viders have an opportunity to discuss tokenization as a means of overcoming concerns.
Respondents were unde-cided when asked about the likelihood that their organization would adopt alerts (38%) or two-way SMS (39%) in the future.
