Use cases of business prepaid cards
Employee expense management
Businesses can issue prepaid cards to employees for their everyday business expenses such as travel, accommodation, and meals. This simplifies the reimbursement process and minimizes the need for employees to use personal funds.
Since the cards are prepaid, the company can be sure that there is no overspending.
Employee & business travel expenses
Prepaid cards are ideal for managing travel expenses. Employers can load cards with specific travel budgets, reducing the risk of overspending and providing a hassle-free experience for employees.
The employees can use these cards to book their flights and accommodation online and also use them for on-ground expenses like commuting and dining.
Employee perks and incentives
Companies can reward employees with prepaid cards as incentives or bonuses.
Corporate prepaid cards as an incentive are great to make the employee feel valued for their efforts. This not only motivates the workforce but also gives employees the freedom to choose how they want to use the rewards.
Department budgeting
Prepaid cards can be allocated to specific projects or departments, allowing for better budget management and cost allocation. There are many cases where a specific project might come up that requires a separate budget.
Issuing a prepaid card specifically for it is a great way to manage all the expenses for that project.
Temporary or contractual workers
There might be instances where your team needs to hire or work with a freelancer. The payment set up for such an individual or agency will not be the same as an employee.

Online purchases and subscriptions
Prepaid cards are suitable for managing online purchases, subscriptions, and recurring expenses, making it easier to track and control costs.
You can simply set up the card just like any other payment card. An added benefit is that you will never overspend as there is only a limited budget on the card.
Petty cash management
Prepaid cards can replace petty cash systems, minimizing the risk of loss or misuse and simplifying record-keeping.
It is much harder to keep track of cash and the change that you get when you complete transactions as compared to simply making payments through cards.
Business event expenses
This is also a type of project that can come up in a business. When organizing business events or conferences, prepaid cards can be used to manage the various expenses for speakers, attendees, and logistics.
It may also come in handy for food and dining expenses for the organizers.
