Solutions for the public sector
Visa Europe’s Government Services team helps public sector organisations improve the efficiency of their payment systems.
We do this through our Visa Government Procurement Solutions, which are being adopted successfully by many public administrations worldwide.
Benefits
For public sector organisations, traditional purchasing processes can often cost more than the goods and services being bought. Using Visa means you can make your budget go further by cutting out traditional paperwork.Other benefits include:
- Empowering your employees, whilst utilising appropriate levels of control
- Centralised electronic reports produce a clear audit trail, identifying every single purchase and the person who made it
Wider choice of suppliers
Visa Government Procurement Solutions can even open up the smaller supplier market to the public sector – more than eight million businesses currently accept Visa cards in Europe.Suppliers also benefit from Visa payment systems:
- Payment within four working days
- Greatly reduced invoice queries and credit control calls
- Fewer duplicate invoice requests
- Reduction in their own procure-to-payment processes.
E-government
Visa Government Procurement Solutions is already an integral part of e-government in many countries.As an established component of e-procurement processes, we give public sector organisations a proven way to respond to the challenges of migrating to e-government.
