Everything you need to know about Capital on Tap, our cards, and services.
No, Bill Pay transactions are subject to different terms and conditions than credit card rules. Here's what you need to know:
Transactions are processed via bank transfer, using your credit line, not as credit card transactions.
This means you cannot dispute a transaction in the same way you would if the payment was made using your credit card if you make an incorrect payment or you’re unhappy with the goods or services you requested.
You won't have the same protections as you would with regular credit card purchases, such as chargeback rights.
It's crucial to double-check all payment details before confirming a Bill Pay transaction.
Consider this when deciding whether to use Bill Pay for large or important payments.
Understanding this distinction is essential for managing your financial risk when using the Bill Pay service. You can find the Bill Pay agreement here.
You are eligible for a Capital on Tap Business Credit Card if:
Existing Capital on Tap customers are typically eligible for a Savings account. To verify your eligibility, log into your online portal and check the 'Savings' tab. If you’re not an existing Capital on Tap customer, check our eligibility blog to find out if you might be eligible for our Savings account and apply here.
The daily withdrawal limit is 2 transactions, with a maximum cumulative value of £400.
There are merchant categories where you cannot use your card due to the nature of business funding. We currently do not support a few specific types of merchants, in line with our Terms and Conditions. These include:
While access is generally unlimited, it's subject to the specific lounge's capacity and operating hours. Some lounges may have restrictions during peak times.
Yes we run searches on your personal and business credit files when reviewing your application. The search on your personal file is soft, and the search on your business file will be visible to other funders.
If points are redeemed to a bank account, this might have tax implications, but the specifics can vary depending on the individual's circumstances. We are unable to provide our customers with tax advice. We recommend consulting with a professional such as your accountant, a tax advisor, or an Independent Financial Advisor (IFA) if you have any questions or concerns regarding your tax obligations. This will help ensure you receive personalised advice that is tailored to your unique situation.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience. Even with an active arrangement, you might still get automatic messages about the overdue amounts. Because of our regulations, we’re unable to stop these messages at this time. Thank you for understanding.
Yes, as long as you’re an active director or shareholder of another limited company, to a maximum of two accounts.

Yes, we can cancel a payment if you notify us at least two business days before it’s due. If it’s within two business days, we can’t cancel it for you, but you can call your bank and ask them to cancel just that payment. However, please specify the payment and not the whole Direct Debit mandate.
To update your nominated bank account, simply login to your Capital on Tap portal or reach out to our customer service team at 020 8962 7401. If you’re an existing Capital on Tap Business Credit Card customer, your nominated account is shared between your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card and Instant Savings account, so any changes will automatically apply to both services.
We don’t currently offer the option to update your payment due date, however this is something we’re working to introduce in the future.
If you’d like to repay more regularly, you can switch your repayment option to weekly full balance repayments. If you opt in, we’ll schedule a Direct Debit every Monday. The payment will be collected every Thursday and your account will be updated the following business day once the payment has cleared.
If you’d like to talk to us about your upcoming payment just give us a call on 020 8962 7401.

Yes! In order to draw down your funds, you must have a valid Direct Debit in place. You can draw down the funds via the Dashboard on your online account. The funds should usually reach your account within minutes but can take up to a maximum of two hours. Please note drawdowns will always incur interest on a daily basis until repaid in full.
Yes, you can earn 1% cashback in reward points when using Bill Pay with the 2% flat fee option. Get boosted 1.25% cashback when you upgrade to Pro and use Bill Pay with preloaded spend. These points can be redeemed for cash, gift cards, Avios, or against your balance.
Yes, you can. We conduct these periodically for all accounts, but if you’d like to request a review, please call us on 020 8962 7401. When we complete a limit review we may run searches on your business credit file to determine your eligibility, similar to those that we ran when you first applied. Please note, that following this review, your account could see changes, including a higher or lower credit limit, increased interest rates, or even account suspension.
Yes, if you lose your metal card or it is stolen, we will provide one metal card replacement a year without charge. We may charge a fee for any further replacements (and such fee shall be at the rate set out in your Portal), or you may opt to receive a plastic card replacement without charge.

Section 75 is a consumer protection under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. If you are a limited company with a Capital on Tap credit card, your agreement is not covered by the Consumer Credit Act and so Section 75 does not apply.
You may still be able to raise a chargeback depending on the circumstances of your claim. If you would like to raise a chargeback please check our other FAQ's on the topic 'Raising a dispute' to find one that aligns with your circumstances.
Yes, all Capital on Tap Business Credit Cards support contactless payments. You can use contactless anywhere that accepts both VISA and contactless. If it’s not accepted, you can use Chip & PIN instead.
In 2021, the contactless limit increased to £100 per transaction. After several contactless payments in a row or once you’ve spent £300 since last entering your PIN, you’ll need to re-enter your PIN.
The simplest way to pay is by Direct Debit, but you can also make a bank transfer (BACs) payment or a debit card payment from your account. However, the maximum repayment on a debit card is £5,000. You can also make a balance transfer but please be aware they may trigger an internal credit review.
If you’re unhappy with any aspect of your experience with us, we want to know about it. We want to make it right for you if we can, and prevent similar issues in the future.

Yes, you can upgrade to the Pro tier at any time through the Manage Plan option in your Portal.
You can use your Capital on Tap card almost anywhere in the world, and at any seller who accepts VISA. Better still, we don’t apply any charges or commission on those transactions above the base exchange rate, and you don’t even have to notify us of your trip abroad!
However, there are a few countries where you can’t use your Capital on Tap card in compliance with our obligations under national and international law. These restrictions are updated regularly in response to legislation and are subject to change.
At present, the countries we don’t support are Belarus, Cuba, Democratic People's Republic (North Korea), Iran, Myanmar, Russia, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela.
We may also occasionally restrict spend on your card where we believe doing so would protect you from unauthorised usage, or would be necessary for compliance with our regulatory obligations.
What will happen?
Any transactions will be automatically declined. We will endeavour to contact you to inform you of the reason why your payment was declined and may attempt to call you if we require any additional information. In case your card recently declined and you did not spend in any of these regions, please head over to our Card Decline Checklist to find out why!
While most benefits are available at all Radisson properties, some benefits like access to VIP areas may only be available at selected hotels.
Yes, as this is a variable rate account, the interest rate will change in line with the Bank of England base rate. When the Bank of England announces a change to the base rate, your savings account rate will automatically adjust the following day. You will be notified of any rate changes, and you can always check your current rate by logging into your Capital on Tap online portal.
For new Capital on Tap customers, signing the E-Money Facility Agreement is mandatory.
Existing customers can choose to sign it to access the Preloading feature and its benefits, but it is not required.
If you choose not to sign the E-Money Facility Agreement, you won't be able to access the Preloading feature. However, your funds will still be protected, and any in-credit balance will be returned to you.
Yes, to use the Bill Pay feature, customers must carefully read and sign the Bill Pay Agreement, which is separate from the terms for the Capital on Tap Business Credit Card.
No. This is only for payments you make to another bank account by Faster Payment, sent on or after 7 October 2024 and will not apply to card transactions which are covered by other regulation.
The rules will apply to businesses that meet the definition of a micro-enterprise which is a business that:
Employs fewer than 10 persons;
and
Has a turnover or annual balance sheet that does not exceed €2 million or equivalent in pounds sterling.
You need to make a claim within 13 months of sending the payment.
You can make a claim for any amount, but we’ll only refund up to a maximum of £85,000.
We typically ask for a personal guarantee from a company director or shareholder as part of your credit card application.
Bill Pay payments are processed via BACs (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services), not through the business credit card.
All monthly variable interest rates move in line with the Bank of England's Bank Rate (calculated on monthly basis) and can only change at the start of a new billing period. They are calculated by taking the Bank of England's Bank Rate at the start of the billing period and deriving a monthly bank rate which is added to the monthly cash/card business rate. Monthly variable rates start at 1.13%. We will not pass on negative bank rates. To see the latest Bank of England Bank Rate, check their website.

Modulr is required by law to use a process called Safeguarding to protect customer money.

A Capital on Tap Instant Savings account is an instant-access business savings account powered by ClearBank and designed for UK businesses. Key features include:
* Based on today’s Bank of England base rate. Changes to the Bank of England base rate could mean that the rate offered when you apply is different. The Annual Equivalent Rate (AER) demonstrates what you would earn in compounded interest on savings over 12 months, as a percentage.
AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and the total interest you could earn on your savings over a year, taking into account compound interest. For the Capital on Tap Instant Savings account, the AER is 3.74%* (variable), which means the interest is calculated daily and paid monthly into your account. This standardised way of displaying interest makes it easier to compare different savings accounts. To find out more about AER, please refer to our blog.

An E-Money Facility Agreement is a contract that allows you to hold electronic money (e-money) and make transactions using that balance. It is required to access our Preloading feature.
If anyone asks you to send funds from your Capital on Tap account to an unknown bank account or for a reason other than paying for goods and services that your business has received – this is fraud and you should not make the payment.
Make sure you phone your suppliers directly to check on any changes to payment details. Never rush a payment, as a genuine organisation won't mind waiting.
A personal guarantee is a legally binding agreement between a company director or shareholder and a lender. It holds you personally responsible for paying off your credit card debt - even on your business account.
Bill Pay is a feature (currently in Beta) from Capital on Tap that allows you to automate bill payments using your credit line, even for merchants that don't accept credit cards. It's designed to help manage expenses like rent, utilities, and credit card payments while saving time and preventing late fees.
Your billing address is the business address registered to your Capital on Tap account. You can check this on your details page on the portal.
Open Banking is a system that allows secure sharing of your bank account data with other financial institutions. This helps you access better financial products, promotes competition, and makes managing your money easier. It also speeds up funding, as lenders can quickly access your financial information without waiting for paper statements.
Your username is the email address registered on your account.
Preloading gives you the ability to add your own money onto your credit card balance, on top of your existing credit limit. This means you can increase your overall spending capacity and earn extra cashback rewards up to 1.25% on every purchase with no caps. Customers on the Pro plan receive 1.25% cashback on preloaded spend, while all other card spend and customers on the Free plan receive 1%. Get started now by adding money to your balance, then use your Preloaded funds together with your credit limit to maximise flexibility and rewards.

From 7 October 2024, to protect you from fraud, Capital on Tap will follow a new set of rules for customer scam refunds.
This scheme is being introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) to help protect victims of Authorised Push Payment (APP) scams.
To initiate a dispute with Capital on Tap, you can contact our Customer Service via call on 0208 962 7401.
Our Customer Service Team will ask you a series of questions regarding your dispute to ensure that we have the information required to open your case. They may also follow up with an email requesting supporting documentation, such as invoices and copies of your correspondence with the merchant.
The Disputes Team will then review your claim and the supporting documentation. If they can validate your claim with the information received, a chargeback will be submitted.
Upon reviewing your case, if further information is required the Disputes Team will contact you via email or call to confirm what else is needed to progress your claim.
Once a chargeback has been submitted, the merchant will have 30 days to review the claim along with the supporting documentation.
If they believe the claim is valid and that a refund is due, the merchant will accept the chargeback. If they decide to decline the chargeback, the merchant will provide new information to support that they believe it is invalid.
The merchant's documentation will be assessed, to determine if the case can be pursued to the next stage. The Disputes Team will contact you to confirm the next steps in your case.
What is a chargeback?
A chargeback is a method available to card issuers, as an attempt to recover your funds from a merchant. If a merchant is unable or unwilling to provide a refund, Capital on Tap can review your case and determine whether a chargeback can be pursued.
Capital on Tap cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover your funds.
On average, the chargeback process can take between 30-100 days. However, in some scenarios, this can take longer.
You can find your transfer rate in your online account.
The interest rate for the Capital on Tap Savings Account is currently 3.74% AER* (variable). However, this rate is variable and subject to change. To stay updated, check our website or log in to your Capital on Tap online portal.

You can make manual repayments via BACS or debit card at any time. Simply login and head over to the 'Payments' page. Please be aware the maximum repayment that can be made via debit card is £5,000.
You will be able to use your card as soon as you have completed your account set up and have activated your card online.
Although we do not usually owe our customers money, this can sometimes happen. This is usually as a result of an overpayment, or if you get a refund for something which you’ve already paid off.
Because Capital on Tap is not a bank, your account with us is not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
However, we do take some steps to help protect any money we owe you. At the start of each business day, we put any money we owe to our customers into a separate bank account. That account is clearly labeled as customer funds, and is held in such a way that those funds would remain your property, even in the highly unlikely event of Capital on Tap becoming insolvent.
In most situations when you pay the balance on your account you are paying us to settle an outstanding debt and the above process does not apply. But in any scenarios where we do owe you money, we take the above steps to ensure it is safe.
E-Money customers
If you are, or become, an e-money customer with us, any funds you send to us that exceed any amounts you owe, will be treated as e-money. We are licensed to hold your money by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as an E-Money Institution, and as part of keeping it safe, we follow strict rules set out by the regulator.
We protect your money by placing it into a separate bank account, which is separate from the money we use to run our business. This is known as ‘safeguarding’ your money and allows for its safe return to you in the event that Capital on Tap goes insolvent or otherwise closes down.
We will refund the agreed amount within 5-7 business days from the point it was requested. The refund will be sent to the bank account we have on file for you or we will directly credit it to your Capital on Tap account balance, depending on what you have discussed with our team.
In the case where it has been more than 7 business days since you requested the refund, please do give us a call on 020 8962 7401. Thank you very much for your patience!
We’ll investigate the information you share and refund you within five working days.
But if we need more time to investigate, it may take up to 35 days.
We won’t refund your money if you provide false details.
After your Direct Debit payment has left your business bank account, it will then clear by the end of the following business day and will be reflected on your Capital on Tap account at that time.

You can use your Capital on Tap card almost anywhere in the world, and at almost any seller who accepts VISA. Better still, we don’t apply any charges or commission on those transactions above the base exchange rate, and you don’t even have to notify us of a trip abroad! However, there are a few places that we don't currently support.
We currently don’t support spending at a small number of merchant categories in accordance with our terms and conditions. Examples include gambling-related activities, or securities brokerage services.
There are a few countries where you can’t use your Capital on Tap card in compliance with our obligations under national and international law. These restrictions are updated regularly in response to legislation and are subject to change.
At present, the countries we don’t support are Belarus, Cuba, Democratic People's Republic (North Korea), Iran, Myanmar, Russia, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela.
We may occasionally restrict spend on your card where we believe doing so would protect you from unauthorised usage, or would be necessary for compliance with our regulatory obligations.
What will happen?
Any transactions will be automatically declined. We will endeavour to contact you to inform you of the reason why your payment was declined and may attempt to call you if we require any additional information.
You can use your card to make purchases at almost any merchant worldwide that accepts VISA. Additionally, you can withdraw cash from ATMs, up to a maximum of £400 every 24 hours. Some customers may also have the option to withdraw cash through their online account. Please note, we reserve the right to introduce restrictions or suspend cash withdrawal access at any time.
For more details on restricted merchant categories (e.g., gambling) and unsupported countries (e.g., Afghanistan, Belarus, Iraq), please refer to the FAQs above.
This benefit is available to all Capital on Tap cardholders.

There is no fee for exceeding your approval amount, however, you will no longer have available funds to spend once you have exceeded your limit. In order to increase your available funds again, please make a debit card repayment to reduce your outstanding balance back below your limit. Alternatively, you can wait for your next monthly payment to be taken by Direct Debit.
We will email your statements each month, on the day after your billing period ends. You can also access these at any time in your account.
We will not send your funding to a PayPal account. Limited companies need a business bank account.
1. Have you recently set up or cancelled your Direct Debit Mandate?
If you have recently changed your Direct Debit details, please wait for your bank to confirm the new mandate, which should take no longer than 24 hours.
If your mandate was recently cancelled, please reconfirm the same details on the Repayments page of your portal. If you need to update your mandate due to a bank account change, please give us a call on 020 8962 7401.
2. Did you freeze your card or do you have a spending limit set on your card?
Don't worry! This can be changed in the Cards tab of the portal.
3. Has your card been activated?
If you have not yet activated your card, please do so on the Cards page of your portal.
Please make sure you complete a chip and PIN transaction before using contactless for the first time.
4. Have you reached your contactless limit?
When you've used contactless several times in a row. We'll ask you to insert your card and use your PIN to make sure it's still you. This will happen when you've spent more than £300 on contactless since you last entered your PIN.
Inserting your card and using your PIN should always resolve this.
5. Is your limit being reviewed, or are you in the process of onboarding?
If yes, we will be in touch within one business day with an update on your account as it remains inactive while under review.
6. Does the merchant you are trying to pay fall into any of the restricted categories?
