Visa and Transcard today announced the launch of a next-generation embedded finance platform, designed to power payments and working capital solutions in the freight and logistics industry.
As a part of their joint effort, Visa and Transcard are also collaborating on agentic initiatives for the B2B segment.
This alliance puts embedded credit and working capital solutions in the hands of freight forwarders and airline carriers on WebCargo by Freightos (Nasdaq: CRGO), a leading digital booking and payments platform in the freight industry. By combining Visa’s global expertise in commercial solutions with Transcard’s leading-edge payment orchestration technology, WebCargo users can now gain access to flexible credit terms, seamless onboarding and automated reconciliation for air cargo transactions. The solution, built on Visa’s virtual card infrastructure, unlocks the cash flow bottlenecks between freight forwarders and airlines, and elevates the digital freight booking and payment experience for all participants.
Visa and Transcard are also exploring agentic use cases for the B2B segment, while Visa Intelligent Commerce (VIC) is working to develop Commercial standards and tools to help agents reach suppliers and transact securely. Transcard has agentic experiences built into its platform to deliver automation, provide proactive insights and help its customers manage cash flow more efficiently. Together, these capabilities aim to deliver dynamic payment orchestration, improved working capital management and actionable intelligence in an agent-driven commerce workflow.
“At Visa, we’re focused on building the future of payments through secure, scalable and intelligent commercial solutions,” said Darren Parslow, Global Head of Visa Commercial Solutions. “Our partnership with Transcard reflects our commitment to advancing the industry, leveraging our technology and expertise to help businesses streamline operations and grow with confidence in a rapidly evolving global market.”
“This partnership strengthens our embedded B2B payment and working capital solution and delivers intelligent payment orchestration with agentic AI functionality,” said Greg Bloh, Transcard CEO. “Together with Visa, we’re elevating the digital freight booking and payment experience for WebCargo by Freightos and driving innovation across the sector.”
“At Freightos, our mission is to make global trade frictionless,” said Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Freightos. “That means not only helping importers, exporters and freight forwarders to instantly compare, book, and manage freight services online—but also making it easier to pay for those services in a modern, seamless way. Our partnership with Visa and Transcard brings us one step closer to a future where international trade is as easy to transact as booking a flight or taxi online.”
“This partnership underscores Visa’s investment in embedded finance and agentic commerce to become a key enabler of innovation in the commercial payment space,” said Piyush Tiwari, Head of Global Strategic Partnerships, Visa Commercial Solutions. “Specifically, our integrated approach with Transcard and Freightos connects the dots for both airlines and freight forwarders and offers working capital efficiencies that can help drive real business growth. We are proud to support WebCargo by Freightos in shaping a smarter, more resilient freight ecosystem.”
This collaboration reflects a continued commitment to advancing digital transformation in freight by fostering greater connectivity, operational efficiency and financial agility for airlines, forwarders and their customers.
