After approval, your physical card will arrive within 7-10 business days.³

They purposely avoid a points-per-dollar reward system to prevent your business from having to spend to gain points.

What credit score do you need for a Ramp card?

One of Ramp’s main selling points is that it doesn’t require a personal guarantee or strong credit history to qualify for a card.

Instead, Ramp assesses your business based on its size, cash flow, available funds and other risk factors.²

Ramp doesn't state its specific credit limits, as your business is assessed on a case-by-case basis. But, they do state that their limits can be up to 30x higher than those of traditional banks.¹¹
