Enquire about a Business Charge Card

What is a Business Charge Card?

Manage your employees’ spending by giving them their own contactless Business Charge Card.

Our Business Charge Card offers you a straightforward, flexible way to manage cash flow, stay in control of business expenses and earn cashback. A Business Charge Card is a short-term borrowing facility up to an agreed overall limit.

Your Business Charge Card balance is paid in full each month by direct debit set up from your Business Current Account. No interest is charged because the balance is paid in full, however you may incur charges on your Business Current Account if there are insufficient funds available. You decide how many cards are issued to your business and apply spending limits to each cardholder (minimum limit per card of £500).

You’ll also be able to take advantage of merchant rebates with Business Savings by Mastercard®, benefit from Travel Insurance* when using your card to book your trip, and enjoy additional protection when shopping with Buyers Protection Insurance*. 

* To provide you with Buyers Protection Insurance and Travel Insurance, Lloyds Bank works with Aspire Insurance Advisers, who administer the policy on behalf of Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London.

    • Up to 56 days interest free on purchases
    • No annual fee for each card added in the first 12 months of business card account opening. After the first year, we’ll charge an annual fee of £32 per cardholder, unless you spend £6,000 or more across all cards each year
    • Sterling cash withdrawals will be charged a handling fee of 2.5% or £2.50 per transaction (whichever is higher)
    • Non-sterling transaction cash withdrawals will be charged a handling fee of 2.5% or £2.50 (whichever is higher) plus a non-sterling transaction fee of 2.95%
    • Non-sterling transactions will be charged a fee of 2.95% of the amount of the Sterling transaction value

    For more information, and a full explanation of rates and charges that may be incurred please see our Charge Card page.

    Full Terms and Conditions are available. In certain circumstances we may terminate or suspend the use of the Charge Card(s) which may include the immediate repayment of any outstanding balance. Full details are included in the Terms and Conditions which will also be included in the documentation we send to you if your application is approved.

    All lending is subject to a satisfactory credit assessment and we will need your permission to carry out a credit check on you and your business. You will need to meet the normal lending eligibility criteria before any lending is agreed.
