Networks Raise B2B Payments Data Requirements

Visa and Mastercard are raising B2B card data requirements in 2026, with Visa's Commercial Enhanced Data Program rebranding Level 3 as Product 3 and an April 2026 sunset of Level 2. Networks now require line-item, invoice-quality details and use AI to validate arithmetic integrity, and failed validation can trigger 40–50% interchange downgrades. Merchants that automate ERP-to-gateway data flows can lower fees, speed reconciliation, and improve working capital.
Scoring Rationale
Network-level mandates and AI validation create industry-wide, actionable change with strong credibility from Visa and Mastercard announcements.
