Expert review

The NAB Business Card features benefits for organisations that want to manage expenses under one account. You can set individual credit limits for each additional card linked to the account, which could be useful if your employees have different spending needs.

If you’re looking for a revolving line of credit, you might want to consider a business credit card instead. NAB also issues business credit cards linked with rewards programs, boasting low annual fees and more.

Competitive interest rates. The NAB Business Card charges an interest rate of 15.5% p.a. on purchases and cash advances.

Additional cardholders. If your employees need to make purchases, you can request additional cardholders to link to the one account. You can set individual cardholder credit limits and personalise each card with the employee's name.
Complimentary business liability insurance. If the account is used for fraudulent transactions, your finances will be protected by NAB's complimentary business liability insurance. The liability insurance indemnity is limited to $20,000 per cardholder and to $150,000 for the business in each policy year.
