As a general rule of thumb, expenses that are not for personal use are typically purchased via a commercial, corporate, or business card. Below are some examples:
If you sell to businesses, they are most likely purchasing through a commercial, corporate, or business card. It does not matter if the card is issued to an individual at the company.
Sole proprietors often use a commercial, corporate, or business card to purchase supplies or pay for expenses that pertain to their startup or small business.
Individuals booking business travel or organizing a corporate activity may often use a commercial, corporate, or business card.
We determine whether a card is standard or premium based on the information available from card networks at point of capture. The accuracy of this mapping is regularly reviewed to ensure the appropriate fee is applied to all card transactions.
