What is a business credit card?

A corporate credit card is a card issued by a bank for businesses. With the feature of spending first and paying off the balance later, a corporate credit card provides timely capital, reducing risks compared to using cash.

Corporate credit cards allow companies to spend money first and pay off the balance later. 

What are the features of a corporate credit card?

Business credit cards have the following features:

• To open a corporate credit card, the company will be the name on the card application and authorize an individual to be the name on the credit card for general purposes.
• Corporate credit cards are often used to pay for goods, pay for online advertising (Facebook Ads, Google Ads,...)
• When traveling abroad, a corporate credit card will help pay for expenses without having to convert foreign currency or advance business expenses, while also improving safety compared to using cash.

Benefits of corporate credit cards

Convenient transaction

• No need to exchange foreign currency when working abroad:Customers only need to bring a credit card to be able to pay all expenses no matter where they are.
• Payment of fees:All types of fees can be paid easily, securely and save a lot of time with a corporate credit card such as business expenses, airline tickets, hotel expenses,...

Risk Reduction

Cash payments expose businesses to many risks such as corruption, misuse, management effort, and preparation time. To overcome these limitations, credit card transactions help businesses completely eliminate the process of preparing cash.

Easy financial management

If you make a transaction via a corporate credit card, all transaction history will be stored and monthly statements will be sent. Therefore, business owners will be aware of the expenses and the content of the transactions. In addition, the expenses under the name of the individual and the business will be completely transparent.

Corporate credit cards support effective financial management

High card limit

Each different type of card will be given a separate limit. In general, the limit of a corporate credit card is very large, reaching up to 5 billion VND.

Save time and money

Business transactions are often large in value and take a long time to replenish cash. In addition, managing large amounts of cash also makes businesses susceptible to loss and confusion.

However, when using a business credit card, customers will not spend much time and effort calculating expenses and the bank will do this by itself.

Multiple sub cards

For personal credit cards, you can only open 1 - 3 additional cards, but for business credit cards, you can open many cards.
