Featuring Andrew Jamison of Extend on B2B Vault: The Biz to Biz Podcast, Hosted by Allen Kopelman.
Welcome back to B2B Vault: The Biz to Biz Podcast, sponsored by Nationwide Payment Systems and NPS1, our smart invoicing platform designed to help businesses get paid faster, automate collections, and improve cash flow.
In this episode, Allen Kopelman sits down with Andrew Jamison, a payments-and-software veteran and the founder behind Extend—a platform helping businesses manage B2B card spend in a smarter way without replacing the credit card they already use.
If you’ve ever had a corporate card compromised and then spent days updating subscriptions… or tried to reconcile “who spent what” across a messy stack of vendors, projects, and departments… this one hit home.
Businesses today don’t spend like they did 10 years ago.
Andrew’s take was simple: most SMB and mid-market companies don’t have “resources” to implement complex systems.
So, Extend designed a solution that works with the card you already have.
Extend lets a business take an existing credit card—like an American Express card—and “shard” it into many virtual cards.
If one vendor gets compromised? You cancel one virtual card—not the entire corporate card.
That’s the “aha” moment.
Allen shared a real-life experience many business owners recognize:
One card gets hit with fraud → you replace the card → you scramble to update billing at every vendor → you miss a few → services shut off → your team gets disrupted.
Andrew shared an even bigger picture: some companies can have 250+ suppliers connected to card spending.
One compromised card shouldn’t mean updating billing in 250 places.
Virtual cards solve that—cleanly.
A huge part of the conversation wasn’t just “virtual cards are cool.”
It was about the bigger shift happening in financial services:
Andrew emphasized Extend isn’t trying to become the bank or insert itself into financing.
That’s the part banks often struggle to build quickly.
And if they don’t solve it, customers drift to fintech alternatives.
Meaning: we’re still early in card adoption for B2B.
A major driver? The subscription Economy.
Andrew shared a modern reality: even companies with traditional financial operations now have a huge percentage of expenses on card because of:
Cards make subscription management easier—if spend is controlled and reconciled properly.
A key advantage of virtual cards is that the data is attached to card creation—not manually entered at checkout.
Historically, buyers were asked to type invoice numbers or project codes into a POS field:
Software is driving payment decisions.
Most businesses don’t wake up saying “I want a better payment processor.”
They wake up saying:
That’s exactly why we built NPS1 for invoicing + payment links + automation on the receivables side—while platforms like Extend are cleaning up the payables/spend side.
It’s the same future: fewer manual steps, more control, cleaner data.
