No, Bill Pay transactions are not covered by the same consumer protections as standard credit card purchases. They are processed as a bank transfer using your credit line, not as a direct card payment.

This means:

  • You do not have the same dispute options, such as chargeback rights, if you are unhappy with the goods or services.

  • It is crucial to double-check all recipient and payment details before confirming a transaction, as authorised payments cannot be cancelled.

For a full breakdown of the terms, please see the Bill Pay agreement here.

  • You make a claim within 13 months of the payment.

The maximum amount that can be reimbursed under these rules is £85,000. Card transactions are not covered by these rules but have their own protections.

You may be able to dispute this charge, but you must take some important steps first. The chargeback process requires that you have already made a reasonable effort to resolve the issue directly with the merchant.

Step 1: Contact the merchant

Before raising a dispute with us, you must:

  • Contact the merchant directly to request your refund. We strongly recommend doing this in writing (e.g., by email) so you have a record of the conversation.

  • Ensure you have followed the merchant’s official cancellation policy.

  • Return any goods you have received, if this is part of their policy.

Step 2: Gather your evidence

If the merchant is unresponsive or refuses to issue a refund after you have contacted them, you can proceed with raising a dispute. To support your case, you will need to provide evidence, including:

  • Proof of your original purchase (receipt or invoice).

  • Copies of all communication with the merchant (e.g., emails showing your cancellation request and their response).

  • Proof of cancellation, such as a cancellation confirmation email.

  • Proof of return, if you sent merchandise back (e.g., a tracking number).

Important information to know

  • Time limit: In most cases, we can only submit a chargeback within 120 days of the original transaction date.

  • No guarantee: When we raise a dispute, we are attempting to recover the funds on your behalf through the Visa chargeback process. While we will use all the evidence you provide to build a strong case, success is not guaranteed.

If you see a charge you don't recognise, it's important to act quickly to protect your account. Follow these steps in order.

Step 1: Freeze your card immediately

Before doing anything else, secure your card to prevent any further unauthorised payments.

  1. Log in to your Capital on Tap portal or app.

  2. Navigate to the 'Cards' page.

  3. Find the relevant card and select the option to freeze it.

Step 2: Check for common mix-ups

Once your card is frozen, quickly check if the transaction could be legitimate but unfamiliar:

  • Different company name: Could the charge be from a company that uses a different trading name or legal name on statements? A quick search online often helps.

  • Recurring subscriptions: Is it possible this is a recurring payment for a subscription, or a free trial that has recently ended?

  • Other cardholders: Have you checked with any employees or family members who may have access to the card details?

  • Your records: Does the charge match any of your own receipts, invoices, or order confirmations?

Step 3: Contact us to report the transaction

If you have completed the checks above and are certain the transaction is unauthorised, please contact us immediately on 020 8962 7401.

Our team will:

  • Permanently cancel the compromised card and issue a new one.

  • Gather the necessary information from you to open an official dispute case.

Our Disputes team will then begin their investigation and will contact you if any further information is required to support your case.

Step 1: Wait 15 days & contact the merchant

  • You must wait at least 15 days from the expected delivery date before raising a dispute.

  • During this time, you must contact the merchant directly to request an update or a refund. We strongly recommend doing this in writing (e.g., by email) to keep a record.

Step 2: Gather your evidence: If the merchant is unresponsive or refuses a refund, you can proceed with a dispute. You will need to provide:

  • Proof of your original purchase (receipt or order confirmation).

  • The expected delivery date.

  • Copies of all communication with the merchant.

Step 3: Raise a dispute: Contact our Customer Service team on 020 8962 7401 to begin the dispute process.

Our team will secure your account, cancel the compromised card, and open a case to investigate any fraudulent activity. You can learn more about protecting your account on our security blog.

If an item you purchased is not as described, you may be able to dispute the charge. Please follow these steps in order.

Step 1: Contact the merchant

  • You must first contact the merchant directly to explain the issue and request a refund or replacement.

  • We strongly recommend doing this in writing (e.g., by email) to keep a record. If you are asked to return the item, be sure to get a tracking number.

Step 2: Gather your evidence: If the merchant is unresponsive or refuses to help, you can raise a dispute. You will need:

  • Proof of purchase (receipt or invoice).

  • Photos or evidence showing the damage or how the item differs from its description.

  • Copies of all communication with the merchant.

Step 3: Raise a dispute: Contact our Customer Service team on 020 8962 7401 to begin the dispute process.

Important information to know

  • Time limit: We can typically only submit a chargeback within 120 days of the transaction date.

  • No guarantee: Success is not guaranteed, but providing clear evidence significantly strengthens your case.

You can connect your Capital on Tap account directly with Xero, FreeAgent, QuickBooks, and Sage.

You can also export your transaction data for use with other platforms, including KashFlow.

Your Pro card gives you unlimited access to over 1,600 Priority Pass™ airport lounges worldwide. You can use the 'Find a lounge' feature in the Capital on Tap app to search by airport and view available locations.

Amenities vary by lounge but typically include complimentary Wi-Fi, food and beverages, and quiet areas to work or relax. You can check the specific offerings for any lounge using the 'Find a lounge' feature in the app.

If a scheduled repayment cannot be collected and we are unable to reach you, your account may incur a late payment fee as outlined in your credit agreement. If you think you might miss a payment, please call us on 020 8962 7401 to discuss your options.

A linked bank account is an account you connect to Capital on Tap via Open Banking. This secure connection allows us to view your financial information, which helps us to keep your details up to date and assess your account for automatic credit limit increases.

You can choose the repayment plan that best suits your business.

Monthly repayment options 

You can set your automatic monthly Direct Debit to one of the following:

  • Full balance

  • Minimum payment

  • Fixed amount

Weekly Repayment Option

  • You can also choose to repay your full balance weekly via Direct Debit.

Manual Repayments

You can make additional manual repayments at any time via bank transfer or debit card (up to £5,000) in the 'Payments' section of your portal.

We offer two card tiers:

  • Free: Our standard business credit card with no annual fee (£0/year).

  • Pro: Our premium tier with enhanced benefits, including unlimited airport lounge access (£299/year).

Bill Pay has a flat fee of 2% per transaction. However, you also earn reward points on these transactions, which helps to reduce the net cost.

  • Standard: Earn 1% cashback, making the net cost 1%.

  • Pro (with Preloading): Earn 1.25% cashback, making the net cost 0.75%.

You can view your PIN securely at any time. Simply log in to your online portal, go to the 'Cards' page, and select the 'View PIN' option for the relevant card.

Connecting your account creates an automatic data feed that syncs all your financial activity (card payments, refunds, interest charges, etc.) to your accounting software every 12 hours. This gives you a near real-time view of your business cash flow and simplifies your bookkeeping.

Your complimentary Radisson Rewards VIP status includes benefits like free breakfast, complimentary room upgrades when available, and access to exclusive VIP areas at select hotels.

If you think you might not be able to make a repayment, please contact us straight away on 020 8962 7401. If we cannot reach you, your account may be suspended, and late payment fees may be applied as detailed in your credit agreement.

Once your card arrives, log in to your Capital on Tap portal and go to the 'Cards' page to activate it. After activation, you will also be able to view your PIN.

Please give the card directly to the employee it is issued to. They will need to log in to their own Capital on Tap account to activate the card. Once activated, they can view their PIN and transaction history.

Our online application is quick and simple. You will need to provide basic personal and business details, including your registered Companies House number. In some cases, we may email you within one business day to request further information to complete our review.

Your points history gives you a clear breakdown of all your rewards activity. You can see:

  • Daily accrued points from your card spending

  • Any bonus points you've earned

  • Point adjustments or refund adjustments

  • A record of your points redemptions (e.g., for cashback or Avios conversions)

You can also click on an individual card transaction to see the specific points earned for that purchase.

A pending payment is a transaction that has been approved but has not yet been finalised by the merchant. The amount is temporarily deducted from your available credit and will be finalised or released back to you within 7-30 days.

A personal guarantee is a legally binding agreement from a company director or shareholder to be personally responsible for repaying the company's credit card debt if the business is unable to.

This is the legal agreement that allows you to use e-money services, such as our Preloading feature. It outlines the terms for holding an electronic money balance with us.

Authorised Push Payment (APP) fraud is a scam where you are tricked into sending money from your account to an account controlled by a fraudster. A genuine organisation will never pressure you to make an urgent payment or ask you to send money for a reason you don't understand.

Bill Pay is a feature that allows you to pay suppliers and bills via bank transfer directly from your Capital on Tap account, even if the recipient doesn't accept card payments.

Your billing address is the registered business address we have on file for your account. You can confirm this in the 'Your account' section of the portal.

Open Banking is a secure technology that allows you to share your financial data from your bank with regulated third parties like Capital on Tap. This helps us make faster decisions, such as assessing your account for credit limit increases, without needing paper statements.

Preloading allows you to add your own funds to your credit card account, increasing your total spending capacity beyond your credit limit. Spending with preloaded funds can also earn you a higher cashback rate.

This is a regulatory scheme, introduced by the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR), which requires payment firms to reimburse victims of APP fraud. The scheme has been active since 7 October 2024.

Our dispute process, known as a chargeback, follows these general steps:

  1. Contact us: You first report the issue to our Customer Service team, who will open a case and request supporting evidence from you.

  2. Initial review: Our Disputes Team reviews your claim and evidence. If the claim is valid, they will submit a chargeback to the merchant's bank.

  3. Merchant response: The merchant has up to 30 days to either accept the chargeback or challenge it by providing their own evidence.

  4. Final outcome: Our team assesses the merchant's response and will contact you to confirm the final outcome and any next steps.

The entire chargeback process can take between 30-100 days on average.

  1. Our customer service teams will first try to resolve your issue immediately.

  2. If it needs more investigation, we will contact you within 3 business days with a resolution or an update.

  3. If your complaint is still unresolved after 3 days, it will be escalated. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) allows us up to 15 business days to provide a final response (extendable to 35 days in exceptional circumstances).

If you're not satisfied with our final response, we will provide details on how to escalate your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS).

The current conversion rate for your card is displayed in the 'Rewards' section of your online portal.

New Pro cardholders can earn 10,000 bonus points by spending £5,000 on their card within the first 3 months. This offer is for new customers who have not previously received a sign-up bonus.

In addition to lounge access, your Priority Pass™ membership may unlock other airport perks, such as exclusive discounts at select airport restaurants and retailers.

The agreement is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This ensures we follow strict rules for services like Preloading, including safeguarding your funds and conducting required security checks.

You can sign up for a free Radisson Rewards account on the official Radisson website. Once you have a membership number, you can link it to your Capital on Tap account to convert your points.

Because Bill Pay transactions are bank transfers, not card payments, they do not have chargeback rights. You must liaise directly with the merchant to resolve the issue. We can provide you with proof of payment to support your claim.

First, try closing and restarting the app. If the issue persists, check for any available updates in your phone's app store. As an alternative, you can always access your account through the web browser on your phone or computer. If you still need help, please call us on 020 8962 7401.

  1. Freeze your card immediately in the app or online portal.

  2. Call us 24/7 on 020 8962 7401 to report the incident.

  3. Report the scam to Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud reporting centre.

You can make a manual repayment via BACS (bank transfer) or debit card at any time. You can find the details in the 'Payments' section of your portal. The maximum repayment via debit card is £5,000.

You can start using your card for purchases as soon as you have activated it in your online portal.

We safeguard your money in two key scenarios:

  1. E-Money customers: If you use our Preloading feature, any funds you add to your account are treated as e-money. These funds are held in a separate, protected bank account, segregated from our own business funds, as required by FCA regulations.

  2. Account in credit: If your account has a positive balance (e.g., from an overpayment or refund), we place these funds into a separate customer funds account.

This safeguarding process ensures your money is protected and can be returned to you in the unlikely event of our insolvency. Standard repayments made to clear a debt are not safeguarded.

Once a refund has been agreed with our team, we will process it within 5-7 business days. The funds will be sent to your nominated bank account or credited to your card balance.

A Direct Debit payment will typically be reflected on your Capital on Tap account balance by the end of the business day after the funds have left your bank account.

The membership is subject to the Priority Pass™ Conditions of Use, which you can find on the official Priority Pass website.

You can use your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card anywhere in the world that accepts Visa.

However, there are some restrictions:

  • Restricted Categories: We do not support spending in certain merchant categories, such as gambling services or securities brokers.

  • Restricted Countries: For legal and compliance reasons, your card will not work in the following countries: Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Russia, Syria, Ukraine, and Venezuela.

The Main Account Holder and any user with an 'Administrator' role can make transfers from a Savings account to a Credit Card account. Users with 'Accountant' or 'Employee' roles do not have this permission.

All Capital on Tap cardholders are eligible to convert their rewards points to Radisson Rewards points.

Modulr is the authorised E-Money Institution (EMI) that provides the regulated payment infrastructure for features like our Preloading service. They are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK.

When you apply, we run a soft search on your personal credit file, which does not affect your credit score. We also run a search on your business credit file, which will be visible to other lenders.

No, we do not charge a fee for exceeding your credit limit. However, your card will be declined for further transactions until you make a repayment to bring your outstanding balance back below your limit.

Yes, we will email your statement to you on the day after your billing period ends. You can also view and download all your statements at any time from your online account.

The new Rewards Points History feature is designed to give you a clear, daily breakdown of points going in and out of your account. Currently, it shows these as individual activities rather than a running total. For your live, up-to-date points balance, please refer to the main 'Rewards' page in your portal or app.

If your card has been declined, please check the following common reasons:

  1. Is your card activated? If new, you must first activate it in your portal and complete a chip and PIN transaction before using contactless.

  2. Have you frozen the card? Check the 'Cards' tab in your portal to ensure the card is active.

  3. Have you reached a limit? You may have reached your overall credit limit, a spending limit you set, or the contactless limit (which requires a PIN transaction to reset).

  4. Is your Direct Debit active? A recently cancelled or failed Direct Debit can restrict card use until resolved.

  5. Is the merchant in a restricted category? We block certain categories like gambling.

  6. Is your account under review? If your account is under a periodic review, spending may be temporarily paused. We will contact you if this is the case.

If you've checked all of the above and are still having issues, please call us on 020 8962 7401.
