Regular external purchases
If there are regular external purchases on the carrying out of their business duties like travel, gas, food, accommodation, representation costs, and others.
Business credit cards and Prepaid credit cards are very useful for organizations because they enable teams to be more agile, efficient, and autonomous. When employees need to pay for their hotel during a business trip or when office expenses like lunch, office supplies, and subscriptions, become too cumbersome to handle with just petty cash. Especially in the case when an organization has multiple locations across countries.
Furthermore, prepaid credit cards are very useful for online purchases like digital services, software subscriptions and other recurring costs such as Google and Facebook advertising. With these cards your organization can easily keep all costs separate and properly identified by user and cost centers. Finally, when all elements are integrated in the Card Management System, organizations will have full control and overview of incurred expenses.
Benefits of using business credit cards
Using petty cash or cash advances, by the employer or employee, makes it extremely difficult for a team to deal with unexpected expenses. In the occurrence of an unexpected expense, all “live cash” based solutions create strain across the company. In this case either the finance team needs to liberate more funds, or the employee has to advance the cash from a private account.
Spending in multiple environments
Unlike these cash based methods, prepaid payment cards give teams agility to operate and do spending in multiple external environments without being dependent on fund liberation processes.
Reducing the risk of fraud
Carrying around cash is a big risk for employees while giving credit cards to your team is a strong reassurance of their safety. At the same time cashless methods significantly reduce the risk of fraud for organizations.
Currency exchange
Business credit cards and payment cards carry the advantage of being accepted across borders and are eliminating the problem of currency exchange.
