Mastercard Launches AI-Powered B2B Analytics Platform for Commercial Payments
Mastercard has launched Advanced B2B Analytics, a new AI-powered platform designed to help banks and corporate customers identify supplier payment opportunities and expand commercial card usage.
The platform analyzes accounts payable data and uses AI-enabled acceptance propensity scoring to identify suppliers that are most likely to accept card payments. Users can also access interactive dashboards, working-capital insights and supplier prioritization tools intended to make commercial payment programs more targeted and efficient.
Mastercard said the product is aimed at a persistent problem in B2B payments: fragmented payment data and manual processes that make it difficult for issuers and corporate buyers to determine where card acceptance can create the most value.
For financial institutions, the platform is designed to support commercial card growth and deepen corporate relationships by helping clients optimize payment flows, improve supplier engagement and accelerate virtual card adoption. Mastercard estimates the addressable B2B payments opportunity at roughly $80 trillion.
Absa Group and Emirates NBD are among the first financial institutions to offer Advanced B2B Analytics to corporate clients.
The launch also fits Mastercard’s broader strategy of embedding AI, data and analytics more deeply into commercial payments. The company said Advanced B2B Analytics is the first foundational B2B capability in a wider effort to extend AI-driven intelligence across the supplier, issuer and acquirer sides of the payments ecosystem.
