Barclaycard Commercial corporate charge cards

Here to make life easier, at home and abroad

Your Corporate Card is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to pay for everything you need when you’re out and about on business. It gives you greater control over individual spending, and streamlines your expense management processes.

As a Barclaycard Commercial Corporate customer, you have access to a range of valuable services.

If you or your cardholders currently hold a Barclaycard Business Visa Silver Corporate Card, we will issue you with a Barclaycard Commercial Visa Gold Corporate Charge Card to replace it when it expires. If they hold a Barclaycard Business Visa Gold Corporate Card, we will issue you with a Barclaycard Commercial Visa Platinum Card to replace it when it expires.

Overview

Control expenditure

Your card solution can facilitate improved travel policy compliance while helping you enjoy total visibility of spend, via both preventative and corrective policies. And because you have access to tools enabling you to set and change your cardholder’s spend limits, it’s a flexible solution too.

Streamline expense management

Corporate cards can simplify and automate the expense management process while easing reconciliation, and reducing the cost of processing expenses. They also help to eliminate the errors involved in manual data entry and provide comprehensive reporting for enhanced Management Information. Reports are available through Online services.

More effective travel sourcing

The enhanced MI now available to you can greatly reduce the impact of Travel and Entertainment (T&E) on the bottom line, especially when used to create bespoke reports, by ensuring you get the most from your suppliers and increasing efficiency in your travel sourcing management.

  • You can gain in-depth visibility over travel spend with key vendors to leverage supplier volume discounts, assist negotiations, optimise forecasting and monitor compliance with your travel policy
  • You can drive savings through our foreign VAT reclaim thanks to Tax Back International. Call +44 207 659 9182 for details.
  • Standardised Visa acceptance means one payment solution can be used globally across virtually all your T&E spend, reducing the need for supplier-specific payment solutions. Our cards are accepted at over 27 million outlets and 150 countries worldwide including 800,000 places in the UK*.

Convenient Management and Support

You can take advantage of savings through convenient, reliable expense management solutions for your business and your employees, easily implemented and optimised through a range of support services. By consolidating your expenses into one monthly payment while eliminating the need for employees to self-fund their own business expenditure, you can reduce procurement costs even further. And with our VAT reclaim service, you can claw back otherwise lost VAT rebates for business expenses incurred while cardholders travel abroad.

It is important that you keep us up to date with any changes in your company so that we can ensure that we are contact the correct representatives.
