Extend vs VisaNet Connect – Issuing

Extend manages company card spending and employee expenses with virtual cards, expense tracking, receipt management, and accounting reconciliation. Virtual cards can carry spending limits and expiration dates for vendor payments, subscriptions, or team expenses. Card creation is available only through participating bank partners; eligible Visa or Mastercard cards from other banks can be registered for expense management. Other tools include budgets, receipt capture, expense reports, reimbursements, approval workflows, and transaction reporting. Integrations include QuickBooks Online and Desktop, NetSuite, Xero, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The virtual card API supports issuance, transaction metadata, real-time authorization and clearing data through webhooks, and configurable card controls. Extend says it is PCI and SOC 2 compliant and uses TLS with SHA-256 and RSA encryption. Starter is free for up to five users and 100 virtual cards per month. Pro costs $8.99/user/mo (annual) or $11.99/user/mo (monthly), with a 10-user minimum for either option.
