Prepaid Cards
Virtual and physical prepaid cards that put you in control of staff spending — set budgets, track expenses in real time and issue cards in minutes, with no credit checks.
Overview
Spending control, without the paperwork
Chasing receipts, reimbursing staff and reconciling expenses at month end drains time and clouds visibility over where money actually goes. Prepaid cards flip the model: you load funds, set limits and hand employees a card that can only spend what you've allowed — so there's nothing to claim back and nothing to chase.
Our partners issue virtual cards for online subscriptions and one-off purchases, and physical cards for staff, drivers and field teams who spend on the go. Every transaction appears in a live dashboard, giving finance teams instant oversight and the ability to freeze, top up or adjust any card at the tap of a button — all without the credit checks or personal liability of a traditional business card.

Benefits
Control that pays for itself
Simple to roll out, easy to manage and built to keep spending inside the lines you set.
Budget control
Set spend limits per card, per team or per project. Funds can only be used up to the amount you load, so budgets are enforced automatically.
Real-time reporting
Every purchase lands in a live dashboard with categories, receipts and merchant detail — making reconciliation and reporting effortless.
Virtual cards
Generate single-use or recurring virtual cards for online subscriptions, ad spend and supplier payments — keeping your main account details private.
Physical cards for staff
Issue branded physical cards to employees, drivers and field teams for fuel, materials and travel — with the same controls as their virtual counterparts.
No credit checks
Because cards are prepaid, there's no borrowing, no credit application and no personal guarantees — get set up quickly whatever your credit history.
Instant controls
Freeze, unfreeze, top up or cancel any card in seconds, and block cash withdrawals or specific merchant types to stop spend before it happens.
