Expert review

The key feature of the CommBank Corporate Interest-Free Days card offers some cash flow flexibility, giving you 55 days interest-free on purchases made on the first day of your statement period, 54 on the second day, and so on until the due date on your statement. When that date rolls around, you’ll need to pay the total amount owing in order to keep making use of interest-free days. If your cash flow typically follows a monthly or 30-day cycle, this structure means you can avoid paying interest on the account.

If you have a lot of employees and you want to keep track of their spending, you can get an unlimited number of additional cards with this account. You also have the option of customising the transactions and spending limits for each one. To give you an idea of the potential costs, having 30 cards linked to this account would attract annual fee costs of $1,200 (at $40 per card).
