Giving your employees a credit or debit card can be quite a responsibility for them and requires you to trust them. With a prepaid business expense card, it is not as daunting as they can only spend the amount of money that you have loaded onto the card so you don’t have to worry about overspending.
Prepaid cards can also help you to manage your business expenses better with online management software to monitor spending and run reports, tag purchases and attach receipts. These are some of the prepaid business expense cards available.

FAQ
How do prepaid business expense credit cards work?
Prepaid business expense credit cards are a spending solution that allows you to provide your employees with a card for making purchases without worrying about how much they spend as they can only spend what you have loaded onto the card.
You can allocate a prepaid card to an individual or team/department and load the card with the amount of money you are comfortable them having on the card and then you can generally monitor the card online or through an app.
You can easily top up the card by transferring funds onto the card instantly when needed.
Many prepaid cards also provide online software that allows you to export data or run reports, tag purchases and add receipts to make expenses easier to manage and can help you to save time on expense management.
How much money can I put on them?
The majority of prepaid card providers don’t state a limit on the amount you can load onto an individual card but as you can load funds at any time this shouldn’t restrict your spending as long as you monitor the balance and top it up.
How much will a prepaid business expense card cost?
The cost of prepaid cards varies depending on the provider and the number of cards you have. There are several business current accounts that offer a prepaid card as part of their account at no extra fee.
Other providers offer the prepaid card for free for a single card or a small number of users. Another charge for platform access rather than a card fee.
It is also worth bearing in mind how you are going to use your card as there may be additional fees for some transactions such as cash withdrawals or international purchases which vary depending on the provider.
How to apply for a prepaid business expense card?
Most prepaid card providers allow you to apply online for a business prepaid card account and you can often easily add further cards through your online account.
As the card is a prepayment card and not a credit card, there aren’t as many checks that need to take place to approve your account so it can be set up more quickly as well.
