Corporate cards are a means of payment for employees’ (strictly) professional expenses. Linked to the company’s bank account, there are several types and names: prepaid card, business payment card, or pro card.

Unlike traditional expense reimbursement systems, corporate cards offer a number of advantages to help optimize business expense management. For example, employees no longer need to advance personal funds, which could have posed financial problems for them in the past. The cards also streamline the accounting reporting process.

However, companies that use these cards will need to pay attention to security and control issues.
