Key Benefits
Flexible spending power
Unlike a Credit Card, the Business Basic Card has no pre-set spending limit . This means that your Card's spending power - the amount your business can spend - is dynamic and can adjust to your business needs.
To help maximise your spending power, you can start spending and repaying the balance as soon as you get your Card. You can make repayments multiple times within your Billing Cycle, there’s no need to wait.
You can find out more on how to maximise your spending power here.
