The Velocity Business Rewards Mastercard™

 

Business Rewards

As an entrepreneur or small business owner, you need the advantages that come with a Velocity Business credit card. Here are some key benefits:

1. Expense separation and tracking: Use your Velocity Business Mastercard to keep your personal and business expenses separate. Comprehensive monthly statements make finance tracking, tax prep, and bookkeeping easier.

2. Improved cash flow management: Access funds for your business expenses when needed, manage cash flow gaps, and cover unexpected costs without affecting your day-to-day operations. It’s an indispensable safety net.

3. Rewards: Every Velocity Business Mastercard includes our CURewards program, earning 1.5X points with every purchase. Redeem them for dining, merchandise, gift cards, travel rewards, and cash.
