Types of payment cards

Business card, business card, purchasing card, corporate card, bank card, fuel card, purchasing card... there is a real confusion in the types of products used by SMEs.

According to the Apeca study, of the 131 SMEs that said they use the card to pay for purchases, only 85 % associate a generic card name with it. Most of the companies reported using only one type of card. Only 4 % of them use two cards, generally a fuel card combined with a bank card. In fact, the card is most commonly used to pay for the following expenses: hotels and restaurants, public transport, fuel and car hire. In SMEs, therefore, the card is the main means of payment for purchases related to employee mobility.
