Expert review

The Commonwealth Bank Corporate Low Rate credit card gives you a way to manage spending across your entire business, with the same competitive interest rate for purchases and cash advances. However, it does not offer any interest-free days, so be aware that you’ll collect interest on any balance carried on this account.

The annual fee for the CommBank Corporate Low Rate card is structured to suit the needs of medium and large businesses, with $40 p.a. per card for up to 49 cards, $32 per card for 50 to 499 cards and $24 per card for 500 or more cards. Note that there is an establishment fee of $300 when you open the account.

It also offers detailed reports and statement summaries through CommBiz, allowing you to track spending by department or view expenses for individual employee. This could help you set and manage budgets, as well as simplifying accounting tasks. You also have control over transaction and monthly spending limits for each card and complimentary unauthorised use insurance for the account.
