Ask both of them

From the Corporate cards guide. Put the same questions to each vendor and compare the answers against your checklist.

  • Who issues the card, and which entity is our contract with?
  • Set up a card for one vendor with a monthly cap and show what happens when it is exceeded.
  • Show a missing-receipt reminder and the lockout rule.
  • If we hold money with you, which bank holds it, and in whose name?
  • Show a transaction syncing to our ledger with department and entity.
  • What happens to recurring charges on our cards if we close the programme?
