PEYD Turns Heads at CardCon with Its Corporate Credit Card Consulting Solutions

Credit card industry movers and shakers descended on Florida earlier this month to attend CardCon 2025. One company that made a big splash with attendees was The PEYD Group (PEYD), an organization that provides credit card consulting to help corporations maximize their card spend.

We caught up with the company’s Co-Founder, Pinny Ackerman, a short time after the conference concluded to learn more about the services PEYD offers to businesses.

The PEYD Group began close to 15 years ago with a primary focus of helping cardholders manage credit card points. The company has expanded its scope in recent years to provide value to corporate card programs. 

Ackerman told us that PEYD managed over $600 million in spend for clients through corporate card programs in 2024, and he expects significant growth for the company in 2025.

“We’ve developed these partnerships and referral programs, and we consult with our clients to figure out which makes the most sense,” Ackerman told us. “There’s a ton of content out there about personal and small business travel perks and bonuses. But there’s not a lot of content out there on the corporate side.”

The PEYD Group has provided its corporate consulting services to clients, providing more information about card offerings from companies like CorPay, WEX, Divvy, Ramp, Amex, Melio, Plastiq, and others. Ackerman told us that corporate consulting has become one of the fastest growing divisions in PEYD.

The company holds a brief initial consultation with corporations interested in its services. The meeting allows the PEYD team to learn about the business’s card spend and any pain points it is experiencing.

Many corporate credit cards come with advantages that personal cards don’t have, including removing personal liability. Ackerman told us that corporate card applications will require a business owner to verify their identity through Know Your Customer processes. 

Corporate cards also can unlock more credit than personal cards. Having access to ample credit when it’s most needed can allow a business to capitalize on opportunities it may have otherwise had to pass on.

Expense management can be a frustrating and time-consuming exercise for a business with numerous employees that require fast access to company funds at various points on a given day. But corporate credit cards can bring efficiency to a business’s expense management practices.

An efficient approach to expense management can save a corporation time and money.

“Expense management is a big benefit of corporate cards because it gives you control over employee spend,” Ackerman told us. “Owners can have their employees take a picture of a sales receipt in order to use funds. You can assign employees a budget, and, if they need more money, you can give them more.”

Corporate cards can also help businesses earn more substantial rewards than other cards. Ackerman told us the cards will at times offer more favorable rebates on transactions where the interchange charges are higher. And customized payment options on card programs can help a corporation realize more value on its card spend. 

The PEYD Group brings its knowledge of corporate cards to businesses it consults with and works to find a card program that addresses client needs. The company eventually acts as a liaison with banks to place cards in a client’s hands. But the interaction between PEYD and its clients doesn’t end there.

“It’s very much a relationship that we develop,” Ackerman told us. “It’s a lifetime account for us with a client. We’re not hitting up a thousand people in a month and just sending them links. It’s really a traditional account management type of relationship. We stay in touch with our clients and are definitely tied to the relationship in the long term.”

Nearly all companies can benefit from using credit cards to manage their spend. But the credit needs of an organization can vary significantly from one firm to the next.

Businesses operating in the eCommerce space aren’t as concerned with liability or expense tracking as they are with accessing whatever credit they can, Ackerman told us. The more money an eCommerce shop can access, the more product it can buy and sell for a profit.

Healthcare organizations such as skilled nursing facilities and nursing home operators need to be able to keep close tabs on employee card spend, which helps their accounting teams put controls in place and assign budgets.

“Though they want to be able to track and manage card spend, they also don’t want to have the personal liability,” Ackerman told us. “It’s about using the right program that will give them the credit that they need. Corporate liability is a big piece but only for certain industries.”

The PEYD Group also frequently engages with businesses in the real estate and construction industries. 

Companies on the fence about the value of engaging with a corporate credit card consultancy can estimate what the anticipated return on investment of such a partnership would yield. 

The PEYD Group can help businesses discover card programs that can significantly increase the amount of rewards they earn on credit card spend. Ackerman told us that a company that’s spending millions of dollars per month on its credit card can increase its annual rewards haul by amounts in the six figures after engaging with PEYD.

“A lot of people look at their business and wonder how they can make more money,” Ackerman told us. “Well, if you save money, sometimes you’re actually making more money. And businesses can save time and energy when they’re not filling out expense reports for hours on end. There’s a lot of value there.”
