Expert review
From what we know so far, the Funding Circle charge card looks like it could be a strong contender, if executed correctly. Offering cashback and fee free spending, the business card could become an asset for SMEs looking to manage their business expenditure.
However, unless you repay your balance in full and on time, you could be charged with a hefty 3% flat fee. And, as the details on this card are being kept a closely guarded secret, we can only comment on what we know. So when is this new charge card joining the market? You will have to join the waiting list and wait for Funding Circle to release some more info.

Who is Funding Circle?
Co-founded in 2010 by James Meekings, Andrew Mullinger and Desai, Funding Circle is a well-known global business loans provider.
Historically, Funding Circle was one of the largest peer-to-peer (P2P) business loans providers. However, earlier this year the P2P lender announced that it will be dismissing this service after a 2 year hiatus during the pandemic.
It now looks like this lending giant is branching out into the world of business cards, with its new charge card and “FlexiPay” line of credit, due to launch at the end of 2022.
What is the Funding Circle Business Charge Card?
Although the details are yet to be shared, the Funding Circle Business charge card will allow SMEs one month of “free credit”, as long as you settle the balance in full and on time each month, whilst earning 1% cashback on business card spend. The card comes with no annual or set up fees and 3% interest if you opt to repay your debts in 3 equal monthly instalments.
How does the Funding Circle Business Charge Card work?
If your application is successful, you will receive a line of credit subject to status. Each month, you will be able to spend up to your set credit limit without paying any interest (as long as you repay your debts in full and on time).
However, if your business feels as if it needs an extra helping hand, although not advised, there is an option to repay the card in 3 equal monthly payments at a fixed rate of 3%.
It is yet to be determined if choosing the option to repay in monthly installments will have an impact on your ability to earn cashback. But, Funding Circle has stated that every time you use your card on business expenses, you will receive 1% cashback.
How to apply
You can register your interest in the Funding Circle charge card and join the waiting list straight through the Funding Circle website.
To join the waiting list, you will need to provide:
- An email
- Business name
- Company type

The application process will only take a few minutes and you will be notified once the charge card has launched and you can apply.
