## What is Mastercard In Control Pay?

A BETTER WAY TO ACCESS AND MANAGE VIRTUAL COMMERCIAL CARDS 
Mastercard In Control™ Pay allows users to seamlessly manage their mobile virtual commercial cards. Users can effortlessly add cards to their digital wallets and experience secure online, in-app, over the phone, and contactless payments. With In Control Pay, organizations can simplify and enhance Travel & Expense (T&E) and B2B payments for both employees and non-employees. 

**This app cannot be used for consumer card or prepaid card management.** 
 
HOW DOES A USER GET STARTED?  
Mastercard In Control Pay app is only for users who receive a virtual commercial card from an organization and issued by a participating financial institution. Mastercard will send the user an email with a unique invitation code to register for the app. Once the user is registered, the virtual card(s) will be automatically linked to the user’s profile in the app. From there, the user can add the virtual commercial card to a digital wallet.  
 
HOW DOES THIS APP HELP USERS MANAGE THEIR MOBILE VIRTUAL CARD EXPERIENCE? 
SEAMLESS PAYMENT EXPERIENCE: Use the virtual commercial card to pay digitally for organizational spending. Don’t fumble for exact change or use a personal credit card and wait for reimbursement. 
TRANSPARENT CONTROLS: View controls set by the organization for the virtual cards in the app. These include how, where and when virtual cards can be used. 
REAL-TIME AND ENHANCED DATA: See completed and processing transactions through our app with an option to filter the transactions by virtual card number (VCN) and time periods to get a complete picture of spending.  
A HOLISTIC VIEW: Manage virtual commercial cards from multiple participating financial institutions within the same app.  
INCREASED SECURITY: Feel confident your virtual cards are secure. All mobile virtual card payments are tokenized, with the sensitive data replaced by a unique alternative card number, so account information is never revealed to merchants, decreasing the risk of fraud. Plus, biometric authentication and a 5-digit PIN can be utilized to access virtual cards. 
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: No plastic needed! 
 
WHY DO ORGANIZATIONS WANT TO USE MOBILE VIRTUAL CARDS? 
Organizations of all sizes and segments see value in mobile virtual cards since they offer a simple and controlled way to empower employees and non-employees alike to make business purchases. Organizations are able to modify virtual card controls as needed, track spending with enhanced data, and more.
