Risk Management in the Corporate Credit Card Market: A Problem Waiting To Be Solved? Consumer credit cards were created from the simple idea of "buy now, pay later" and from their humble beginnings in the 1950's to their lofty status in the payment universe today, that basic value proposition has not changed for any stakeholder. In much the same way, business credit cards were created from the simple idea of providing organizations with a convenient, generally accepted method of paying for and tracking company expenses. Since the first commercial credit cards were issued until today, these products have been refined to appeal to specific corporate market segments, including small business (less than100 employees), middle-market commercial (100-500 employees), and corporate commercial (more than 500 employees). Different products, certainly, yet also not so different, in that any credit card account is still a loan. Regardless of the use, a lender is underwriting the purchases made on any credit card and in so doing, accepts a certain level of risk that their money may not be paid back. - 2008-12-04
