It offers compatibility with MYOB and BAS so you can directly export transactions and also gives you a way to export data to Microsoft Excel. If you're sharing the account with employees, the customisable credit limits are also a handy feature to help manage and track spending.

While there's no rewards program with this card, you can get extra value and peace of mind through the complimentary flight inconvenience insurance, transit accident insurance and unauthorised transaction insurance. Plus exclusive shopping offers through Mastercard – including with travel and hotel partners.

Hi Pauline, thanks for your inquiry!

As long as the merchant/ recipient supports direct transfer payment, direct debit is possible from the BusinessChoice Everyday Card.
