Corporate cards from HSBC

  • United Arab Emirates: Thursday, April 13 - 2006 at 10:52

Corporate cards provide a more convenient option for employees to pay for goods and services while on company business. These days cards also allow more effective monitoring of expenses through the internet, and have many security features.

The Corporate Card programme from HSBC aims to give your employees a convenient option to pay for the business expenses they incur and provide them with a much easier method to organise their travel expenses.

Manage your travel and entertainment expenses efficiently with a Corporate Card from HSBC. Our Card can reduce your administrative costs while increasing your ability to manage your employees' spending on dining, transportation, lodging and other related expenses.

Your employees will no longer need to use their personal credit cards - a situation which creates more paperwork, presents opportunities for fraud and can breed resentment (if reimbursements are delayed).

The Corporate Card gives your employees greater freedom and flexibility while at the same time promotes greater adherence to your business travel and entertainment policies.

Benefits for your business


- Improving Cash Flow: Your company and Cardholders receive up to 53 days of interest-free credit (46 days on US Dollar Cards) to settle Card dues. This helps avoid lengthy administration and funding costs for petty cash advances to employees to meet their routine business expenses.

- Promotes Policy Adherence & Budget Optimisation: The Card's flexibility makes it possible for you to set your travel and entertainment policy to suit your budget

- Improved Control: Limits can be set or altered based on anticipated usage

- ATM Access: Your company can nominate Cardholders to have ATM access on their Cards

- Flexible Billing: Two billing options to best meet your requirements: Central Billing: Direct to your business for central settlement. The bill is paid either by a standing instruction to a HSBC account, by cheque or through bank transfer; Individual Billing: Direct to Cardholders for individual settlement. The Cardholder settles the Card dues directly with the Bank and gets reimbursed from the company

- Corporate Liability Waiver Insurance: Experience indicates that employees' intentional misuse of Corporate Card privileges is very rare. However, to protect you against any such losses, we offer free insurance for greater security and flexibility in meeting your business needs.

- Streamlining Administration and costly reimbursement processes: The Corporate Card from HSBC is easy to monitor for administration purposes.

In addition to a summary statement that is sent to your business with the monthly dues for all Corporate Cards HSBC also offers online reporting through the Smart Data OnLine (SDOL) package which makes it easy to analyze and control your business expenditure.
