New credit card program tailored to high-spending small businesses

As small business owners are increasingly targeted by credit card companies and financial lenders as important clients, another program has been launched to court this special target market. MasterCard Worldwide recently announced the launch of World MasterCard for Business, a premium payment card that claims to provide high-spending small businesses with more spending power, superior customer service and enhanced rewards. The first business payment card to provide access to MasterCard Unique Experiences(TM), World MasterCard for Business rewards small business owners with services and experiences geared to help enhance their client relationships, improve their business or simply reward themselves. "World MasterCard for Business reflects our commitment to create an innovative, tailored payment solution for high-spending small businesses.
