What Are Prepaid Cards?

Prepaid cards are cards pre-loaded with money.These cards are primarily used by businesses for employee gifting, business travel or to manage business expenses.

How Do Prepaid Cards Work?

Prepaid cards are pre-funded, meaning they are ready for use as soon as employees receive them. Businesses can issue and activate business prepaid cards for employees in 3 easy steps:

Add Money

Load the prepaid card with the desired amount. This is the stage where you add money from your bank account. This does not require linking your bank account to the card.

Configure & Send

Prepaid cards work differently for different use cases. For expenses like travel and meals, you can configure spending limits and usage rules. With virtual prepaid card options, employees receive their cards instantly via email.

Track Spends

Employers can monitor and track spending on the cards digitally in real-time from a business dashboard. This eliminates the tiring process of claiming reimbursements and increases efficiency.
