What protection do you get with business credit cards?

If you lose your business credit card or it gets stolen, someone could use it to spend a lot of money. Similarly, employees who abuse their business credit cards for non-business purposes can rack up a big bill. Luckily, your business credit card will often come with some form of protection to help you recover any losses due to fraud, stolen or misuse of credit cards. 

How Capital on Tap protects your business

Having robust protection measures in place is non-negotiable for small business owners. Let's take a closer look at how we keep your business credit card safe and sound.

Card purchase protection

With your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card, you're covered if:

  • An item doesn't show up, but you've paid for it.
  • The item arrives damaged, and the company won't sort it out.
  • Your purchase is not what you expected, or it doesn't work right.
  • The company goes bust before delivering what you paid for.
  • An event you planned gets cancelled after you've already paid for travel and accommodation.

Just contact our 24/7 Customer Service Team to let them know, and we’ll investigate this for you with the merchant. 

Visa's Zero Liability Policy

Your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card is powered by Visa, meaning you’re protected by Visa’s Zero Liability Policy - a guarantee that you won’t be held responsible for unauthorised or fraudulent payments made with your account or account information, online or offline. You can learn more about this policy, including its exceptions, on the Visa Zero Liability Policy page.


Dispute card transactions

If you spot a charge on your card that you didn't make, contact our 24/7 Customer Service Team via phone, email or online chat.

We'll look into it and temporarily credit your account for the disputed amount to keep you financially secure during the investigation. If your dispute is successful, we’ll also waive any interest and finance charges accrued as a result.

Fraud protection

Nobody likes dealing with fraud. But if it happens, our fraud protection kicks in. The first time you raise a fraudulent transaction to us, we’ll refund that transaction and you won't be held responsible for any fraudulent charges. We’ll also refund you if any honest mistakes happen that lead to fraud on your account.

Now, just so we're clear, there are some cases where our refund guarantee doesn't apply. If you're involved in the fraud, we can't repay the losses. But for everything else, we're here to help keep your money safe.

We’ll do all we can to help you, but make sure you’re doing all you can to protect yourself! Check out our blog on protecting your business from credit card fraud to learn more.
