The TSB Business Credit Card is issued on the Visa network (used by a whopping 3.3 billion cards), so you'll be able to use it at more than 46 million merchants across more than 200 countries and territories.
Representative example: When you spend £1,200 at a purchase rate of 39.41% (variable) p.a., your representative rate is 39.9% APR (variable).
In return for a fee of £0, TSB offers a straightforward Visa business card with a tailored credit limit between £50 and £25,000.
Provided you clear your balance in full and on time each month, your business can also to take advantage of up to 45 days of 0% interest on your sterling purchases.
Approval for any credit card will depend on your status. The representative APRs shown represent the interest rate offered to most successful applicants. Depending on your personal circumstances the APR you're offered may be higher, or you may not be offered credit at all. Fees and rates are subject to change without notice. It's always wise to check the terms of any deal before you borrow.
You can make manual repayments through TSB's app, by logging in to your online banking or over the phone (0345 835 3858). Alternatively, you may wish to set up a direct debit.
A direct debit protects you from forgetting to make a repayment and either damaging your credit score, getting hit with a penalty fee (£12) or losing any promotional rates as a result.
You can arrange a direct debit for repayments when you apply for the credit card. The table below shows the options available.

Sorry – TSB is no longer accepting applications for this card. However you may wish to consider one of the alternatives listed above.
If TSB is able to offer you this deal, the offer will specify a tailored credit limit based on TSB's assessment of your situation and your business. The minimum limit offered on the card is £50, while the maximum is £25,000. Once you've had the card for a while and shown TSB that you're reliable, you may wish to apply for a credit limit increase.
Although it's possible, withdrawing cash from a credit card account is generally not a good idea, as "cash-like transactions" (such as withdrawing cash at an ATM, getting cashback at the till, spending at a casino or buying currency) often incur steep fees and/or higher rates of interest.
The cash advance fee on the TSB Business Credit Card is 2.5% (min. £2.5). For example, if you withdraw £50, you'll incur a fee of £2.50. Withdraw £250, and you'll incur a fee of £6.25.
The interest rate on this part of your balance will be 17.6%, which is the same as the standard purchases rate (chargeable from the day of the transaction – the card's usual "up to 45 days interest-free" grace period won't apply).
Non-sterling transactions are subject to a 2.95% charge. For example, if you spend 200 euros (£168.76), it'll cost you around £4.98 in fees.
Each month you must pay at least 5% of your balance at that point or £5.00 – whichever of the two figures is greater. So if you had, say, £90.00 outstanding, you'd pay £5.00, and if you had £400.00 outstanding, you'd pay £20.00.
Paying only the minimum required amount each month is generally not advisable as it tends to be a very expensive way to borrow money which can lead to persistent debt.
