What is a prepaid business card, and when does it fit?

A prepaid business card spends only the balance loaded onto it, so it fits any budget that is fixed before the spend starts. A team travels to a trade fair, a project gets its own budget, a new office needs setting up, and finance wants the receipts in hand when it ends.

Prepaid mode caps it at the card.

Any Fyorin card can run as a prepaid card. The balance you put on it is guaranteed to that card, and the cardholder spends from it. The same controls, receipts and ERP sync apply as on every other card in Fyorin’s range of business expense cards.

A balance guaranteed to the card

Each prepaid card holds its own balance, so one team’s spend cannot draw down another team’s budget.

Controls on top of the balance

The balance caps the total. Real-time limits and merchant controls refine it, and you can restrict spend by merchant, geography or time window.

Receipts as people spend

Employees add receipts and invoices on the go, and a card with a missing receipt can be blocked instantly.

Track each prepaid card against its claim and budget

Link each prepaid card to a claim with its own name and coverage period, and every payment on the card is added to that claim automatically. The balance is guaranteed to the card, and finance reviews only where needed.

  1. Name the claim. A trade fair, a project or a new office.

  2. Set its coverage period. The dates the budget applies to.

  3. Link a card. Spending on that card is added to the claim automatically.

  4. Route it for approval. The claim goes to the right approver, who can sign off on mobile.

Should an expense card run as prepaid or debit?

Run a card as prepaid for a fixed, known budget and as a business debit card for regular spend drawn from one account. You choose per card, so one company can use both.

Choose prepaid when

  • The budget is fixed and known in advance, such as an event, a project or a trip.
  • You want one card’s spend kept apart from every other card’s.
  • Finance wants the money in place before it is spent.

Choose debit when

  • A team spends regularly and a limit on the card is easier than moving money onto it.
  • Spend should draw on the balance of the linked account.

Prepaid where the budget is fixed, debit where spend is ongoing, both on one platform.

Prepaid cards for employees, with no expense claims

With a prepaid card, nobody pays out of pocket and waits to be reimbursed. Employees add receipts and invoices on the go, approvers sign off on mobile, and costs are recharged across entities the moment they are submitted.

The card belongs to the business, so when someone leaves or changes role you revoke or reissue access instantly. See how prepaid cards for employees fit into everyday spend.

How group finance teams compare prepaid business cards

Group finance teams compare prepaid cards for business on five points, from who owns the card to how the programme handles more than one entity.

  1. Who owns the card. If the card belongs to the cardholder, a leaver means a new card. Fyorin cards belong to the business.

  2. Whether prepaid is the only mode. A provider that also offers debit lets each team use the mode that fits.

  3. Which currencies are covered. Fyorin issues cards in GBP, EUR and USD.

  4. How spend reaches the ledger. Fyorin syncs two ways with NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho, Odoo and Acumatica.

  5. How it handles more than one entity. A high-street bank card programme per entity means a statement per entity. Fyorin runs every entity on one platform.
