How can Add-on Cards help?<\/h2>\n

Now, you can get custom cards tailored to different roles of your team members, right from your Razorpay dashboard<\/a>. It\u2019s easy, it\u2019s safe, and the perfect tool to supercharge your business spends.<\/p>\n

What is an Add-on Credit Card?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An Add-on Card is a supplementary corporate card. It aims at giving your team members spending ability from a single credit card account.<\/p>\n

Add-on Cards are pre-loaded with a specific amount or credit line. This makes these cards such valuable assets for businesses and are less risky to hand out to your employees.<\/p>\n

These cards essentially contain the same features as the RazorpayX Corporate Card and can be only availed by the primary cardholder for other team members.<\/p>\n

Benefits of using Add-on Cards<\/h2>\n

There are several benefits of using an Add-on Card, such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your employees get the freedom to spend while also keeping an eye on your budget<\/li>\n
  2. These cards have a predetermined credit line and your employees can’t spend above that<\/li>\n
  3. The predetermined credit limit is flexible and can be set and changed for each card by the primary cardholder<\/li>\n
  4. With Add-on Cards, you can eliminate manual data entry at every step<\/li>\n
  5. You can also seamlessly track work-related purchases<\/li>\n
  6. Add-on Cards help increase your company\u2019s credit score and this will help you get cheaper capital in the future<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please Note: This feature is available only for RazorpayX Corporate Cardholders. You can avail as many Add-on Cards as you need for your business.<\/p>\n

    Top use cases for Add-on Cards<\/h2>\n

    1. Startups:<\/strong> Startups generally have many specialized roles for different functions, with greater autonomy given to team members. Add-on Cards with pre-defined credit limits are perfect for such businesses.<\/p>\n

    2. Partnerships and private companies:<\/strong> Unlike proprietorships, partnerships and private companies have more than one decision-maker making business expenses. Instead of sharing the same corporate credit card, getting Add-on Cards will make it easy for them to make business spends as and when needed. They may or may not choose to have a credit limit.<\/p>\n

    3. Consulting firms:<\/strong> Similar to private companies and partnerships, consulting firms also have many decision-makers in charge of different projects that need spending. However, since they are not partners, credit limits might come into play.<\/p>\n

    User role definitions for Add-on Cards<\/h2>\n

    The following four default user roles are available in the Razorpay dashboard.<\/p>\n

    1. Owner\/Admin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The owner or admin role maps to the Account Owner\/Admin role <\/span>on RazorpayX. They are the top-level users (primary cardholders). They have irrevocable access to all sections of the card and manage all other user accounts. Typically, they are the founders\/CXOs of businesses.<\/p>\n

    2. Finance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The Finance role for Add-on Cards maps to the Finance role on RazorpayX. They have access to all transaction histories of every cardholder.<\/p>\n
