Level 2/3 Processing

For water, fire & mold restoration: Include purchase-order references and itemized invoice data for business-card purchases of cleaning visits, restoration projects and service invoices.

  • Review your commercial card mix to see whether enhanced data pays
  • Configure line-item data from invoices
  • Monitor Visa data-quality results
