Cashback rewards and flexible limits with our Business Plus credit card

You’ll need the personal details of all of the directors or partners of the business (including their home addresses for the last two years). You’ll also need your basic business details, including your company’s Registration Number (provided by Companies House) if you’re a limited company. The application section on the product page will help you to prepare.

No. The Business Plus credit card is an enhanced product with additional features and rewards offered in return for a £70 annual fee. If you're a startup customer interested in a first year free card, the Business credit card may be better suited to your requirements.

You can use your Business Plus credit card to pay for goods and services or withdraw cash almost anywhere in the world, just look out for the MasterCard logo. If you’re travelling abroad, or buying from abroad, we won’t charge you a fee for purchases made in a foreign currency. Please note that a cash fee will still apply if you withdraw cash in a foreign currency, and you may be charged a fee by a third-party bank/ATM provider.

The minimum repayment terms of our Business Plus credit card are:

• The minimum of the greater of either £5, or that month’s interest
• Any default charges
• 1/12th of any annual fee
• 3% of the remaining balance (excluding any annual fee)

If you only pay the minimum payment it will take longer and cost more to clear your balance and there can be a risk of escalating debt, additional interest or charges and of potential financial difficulties.

How to reduce your interest charges

The best way to reduce interest charges on your business credit card is by repaying as much of your balance as you can afford to each month. You can also make extra payments on top of your current monthly Direct Debit payment, any time you want. The back of your credit card statement explains the variety of payment methods you can use.

Give your business some added flexibility

Instead of paying the balance in full every month you can just pay the minimum amount by the required date. This is  handy if your customers are being slow to pay you.

Cashback business credit cards are a great solution for companies with employees who travel abroad for work. They allow you to earn cashback for transactions on eligible trade/business supplies, fuel & commercial EV charging points, travel and accommodation.

Our Business Plus credit card also features no foreign currency transaction fees, so your employees don’t have to worry about conversion rate charges when spending abroad.

No. The objective of having a separate card for business spending is to ensure that business and personal spending are kept separate. 

If the cashback you receive relates to business purchases, it may be seen as taxable business income and should be included in your business’ tax return for the year in which it is received. For more information see the Cashback Scheme Terms and Conditions (PDF, 53KB)
