Our verdict

Manage business spending with a 9.99% variable purchase rate and additional cards for employees.

The BankSA Visa Business credit card is suited to small or medium-sized businesses looking for a way to manage spending and cash flow. It gives new cardholders a competitive variable interest rate of 9.99% p.a. for purchases and offers up to 99 additional cards for employees.

As well as detailed monthly statements, you have the option of viewing spending summaries by department or division – which could help you save time on financial reporting and management. For businesses with more than one owner or partner, this card’s joint and several liability structure means that responsibility can be shared. In comparison, the responsibility for a business credit card with personal liability rests solely on the person who applies. However, it is worth noting that each card added to the account attracts a $55 annual fee – meaning you’d pay up to $5,500 per year if you got the maximum 100 cards for this facility.

Pros

Low 9.99% p.a. interest rate on purchases
Complimentary insurance against unauthorised transactions
Up to 55 days interest-free on purchases

Cons

Charges a 3% foreign transaction fee

The BankSA Visa Business credit card offers detailed statements that can help you keep track of expenses and complimentary insurance against unauthorised transactions.

It also offers up to 55 days interest-free on purchases when you pay your account’s closing balance by the due date on each statement.
