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.

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.

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.

We do not accept payments from a PayPal account. You can, however, make a debit card repayment at any time via the 'Payments' page on 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!
Yes, you have complete control over how much your employee spends per billing period, or per single transaction. Click on the 'Cards' page in your portal, select the card and update the relevant spend control.

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.
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 1.19%. 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. This means they ensure that 100% of the funds they receive in exchange for e-money are safeguarded on receipt, meaning that these are segregated from all other funds that they hold and they cannot be used for any other purposes.
This is completely separate from the additional funds that Modulr holds to meet its corporate obligations and run its business. 100% of the funds they safeguard must be held in specially designated client accounts at credit institutions (banks) or the Bank of England.

We don't like charging late fees and recommend you contact us on 020 8962 7401 if you think you might not be able to make a scheduled repayment. In the event we can't reach you, your account may incur additional charges for late payment as outlined in your credit agreement.
You have several repayment options which you can update to suit your preferences. Our monthly repayment options are:
In the event that your balance is less than the minimum monthly amount, your full outstanding balance will be taken.
The exact amount will vary month on month depending on your outstanding balance.
You can also select a weekly full balance repayment option. If you choose this option, we will schedule a Direct Debit every Monday and a payment for your full outstanding balance will be collected every Thursday. Your Capital on Tap account will be updated the following business day once the payment has cleared.
You can repay at any time by making a debit card payment (up to the value of £5,000) or making a bank transfer. Details for both can be found on the 'Payments' page of your account.
A linked bank account is an account linked with your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card account via open banking.

When you add a linked bank account we will check that you are the owner of that account and that you are authorised to link it.
You can view your current PIN at any time. Simply sign into your account, head to the 'Cards' page and click 'View PIN'.

You should only borrow money that you feel you can comfortably repay. We don't like charging late fees and recommend you contact us on 020 8962 7401 if you think you might not be able to make a scheduled repayment. In the event we can't reach you, your account may incur additional charges for late payment as outlined in your funding agreement.
If you have received a card for your employee, please give this card to them to activate.
They will have their own account where they can log in and activate their card. Once activated, they will be able to view their own transactions and track their spending.
Pending payments are payments that we have authorised on our side but that have not yet been authorised by the merchant. If the merchant does not authorise the payment the funds should automatically be returned to your account after 7-30 days.
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.

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.

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!
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.

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.
A Direct Debit will be scheduled every Monday with a payment for your full outstanding balance collected every Thursday. Your Capital on Tap account will be updated the following business day once the payment has cleared.
The amount will vary depending on your outstanding balance.
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.
