Absa Group and Emirates NBD are among the first banks to adopt Advanced B2B Analytics.
Mastercard introduced Mastercard Advanced B2B Analytics on September 28, 2026. The card acceptance analytics platform uses artificial intelligence to give issuers and corporate buyers dynamic insights into supplier payments in minutes.
The platform uses acceptance propensity scoring to help companies pinpoint which suppliers are most likely to take card payments. The tool is paired with consulting support from the Mastercard Advisors & Transformation team to streamline procurement, reduce costs, and scale commercial card spend in an addressable B2B payments market estimated at approximately $80 trillion.
Businesses today are sitting on vast amounts of payment data, but too often it remains fragmented and underutilized. With Advanced B2B Analytics, we're combining powerful insights with our deep commercial payments expertise to help issuers identify where card acceptance can deliver the greatest value, engage suppliers more effectively and drive measurable growth.
Mastercard noted that nearly half of suppliers expect corporate buyers to request card payments more frequently in the coming years. Absa Group and Emirates NBD are among the first financial institutions to deploy the new tool for their corporate clients.
