Why this particular business credit card?
Whether it's for paying your suppliers or paying for business trips, transport costs, office supplies or subscriptions, KBC Mastercard Business Essential lets you pay for your work-related purchases quickly and securely, worldwide and online.
What’s more, you have a financial buffer on you at all times, thanks to the ability to choose online from five spending limits between 2,500 euros and 10,000 euros. If you’re an employer, you can also apply for the credit card on behalf of your colleagues and employees.
More information
The KBC Mastercard Business Essential has a standard spending limit of 3,000 euros per month. If you prefer a different one, you can choose from five limits during the digital application process, namely 2,500 euros, 3,000 euros, 5,000 euros, 7,000 euros and 10,000 euros. For limits above 10,000 euros, you need to make an appointment at your local KBC branch.
If you want to change your credit card limit afterwards – either temporarily or permanently – get in touch with a KBC branch near you or contact KBC Live.
For businesspeople wanting to manage their business banking needs
The KBC Mastercard Business Essential Credit Card is the ideal card for making and managing business expenses quickly and securely worldwide and online. If you need to pay for your online ads, subscriptions, digital tools or other expenses, you can go about it without any constraints courtesy of this card.
For businesspeople who are often on the road
The cost of business travel, transport, dinners and other business expenses can quickly add up. What’s more, if you need to book a rental car, for instance, a deposit is often required (the amount in question is blocked on your credit card). That’s why a business credit card is essential not only for those who travel a lot for work, but also for emergency situations or unexpected expenses.
For business managers or employers with staff
You can apply for multiple KBC Mastercard Business Essential Credit Cards that are linked to the same current account (for example, for your colleagues or employees). Monthly billing statements enable you to keep track of spending and the amount available per card, thus increasing your administrative efficiency while letting you leaving payments to your employees.
You can apply for a credit card for a colleague, employee or someone else using KBC Mobile, KBC Touch and the KBC Business Dashboard. The person you request an additional card for does not have to be a KBC customer. You can link multiple credit cards to a current account, provided your application is approved.
