Expert review

The Commonwealth Bank Corporate charge card gives large businesses a way to manage travel, procurement and other everyday expenses through one account. The annual fee you pay for this facility is based on the number of cards you add to it, starting at $40 per cardholder for 1-49 cards, $32 each for 50-499 cards and $24 per card for more than 500 cardholders.

With this account, the outstanding balance is automatically debited each month from a nominated account. This means you and your team will be able to make purchases throughout the month without paying any interest. However, you won’t be able to carry a balance beyond the monthly payment date. So if you need that flexibility, make sure you look at other business credit card options.
