What is a corporate debit card and how UK businesses can benefit from it
Any business with expenses to pay will need to find a convenient, cost-effective method for spending and purchasing. For many companies, this is a corporate debit card.
But what is a corporate debit card, and what benefits does it offer? We’ll answer these key questions and more here in this guide. This should help you decide whether corporate debit cards are the right choice for your business.
So, let’s get started.
What is a corporate debit card?
A corporate debit card is a payment card, which draws funds from a linked business bank account. It’s usually used for covering everyday work-related expenses, such as supplies, travels, equipment or meals.
Having a corporate debit card means that employees don’t have to use their own money and claim expenses for reimbursement later on.
Corporate debit card vs credit card
Now, how is a corporate debit card different from a credit card? Here’s a quick look at the main differences between the two:
| Corporate debit card | Corporate credit card |
|---|---|
| Linked to business bank account | Carries a credit balance that must be paid off at the end of the billing cycle |
| No interest to pay | Charges interest |
| Usually easier to get, even with a low credit score | Often requires a high credit score to successfully apply for a credit card |
| Doesn’t usually impact your business credit score | Helps to build your business credit score |
| No risk of overspending or getting into debt | Offers a flexible line of credit (with spending limits) |
