Banks are underselling one of their most important small business products. While they emphasize rates and fees, business owners are looking for something far more valuable: tools that help them run their businesses more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these features are undoubtedly important, focusing on them alone overlooks what many  business owners value more\u2014credit cards as powerful tools for managing finances effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since a credit card is often the first product a business owners pursues, banks are missing a critical opportunity to establish deeper, long-term relationships when they fail to communicate this broader value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Ian Benton<\/a>, Senior Digital Banking Analyst at Javelin Strategy & Research, explored in the Winning the Upgrade to the Business Credit Card<\/em><\/a> report, many banks need to fundamentally rethink how they position credit cards to small business customers. Too often, financial institutions focus on acquiring new business owners, even though many of these customers are already embedded within the bank\u2019s existing ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First Business Product<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To better understand current approaches, Benton examined the websites of leading U.S. issuers. While there were some bright spots, most messaging still centered on financial benefits rather than operational value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat’s all well and good, but a lot of the times they’re missing an opportunity to communicate the operational value of a credit card,\u201d Benton said. \u201cYou can separate your business and personal finances, you can help build your business\u2019s credit score, you can delegate responsibility, and you can control payments for employee cards\u2014all these benefits that are great justifications for upgrading to a business credit card.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among these advantages is the ability to integrate business spending into cash flow analysis tools, giving owners a more holistic view of performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconciliation is another major challenge as businesses scale. Credit cards make it easier to match transactions with receipts or invoices\u2014saving valuable time for businesses that are still reconciling manually, or not at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Business credit scoring is also frequently misunderstood. Even when business owners know their creditworthiness is being tracked, many don\u2019t fully grasp the implications. This creates an opportunity for banks to educate customers on how credit cards can help build credit and establish trust with suppliers and lenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, business credit cards enable owners to delegate spending authority to employees while setting individual limits\u2014an important operational control as organizations grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taken on their own, each of these advantages is compelling. Collectively, they reinforce a broader value proposition. Still, one of the overriding reasons business owners adopt credit cards is to separate business and personal expenses\u2014especially for those transitioning from freelance or gig work. Supporting customers at this critical stage is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe business credit card is often the first business product that somebody ever opens\u2014even before a business checking account\u2014so it\u2019s articulating the value of even having a business product in the first place,\u201d Benton said. \u201cA lot of people are probably just operating a small business on their consumer personal accounts; they’re commingling spending and that becomes complicated come tax time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spurring the Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since many small business owners begin with personal accounts, there is a high likelihood that banks already serve these customers\u2014without realizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of the marketing and communication is designed for new customers to the bank, when in reality the majority of people who opened a business credit card already had an account with the bank, whether that’s a personal account or a business account,\u201d Benton said. \u201cIt\u2019s about putting into context how this can support the broader relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a growing share of new business owners coming from millennial and Gen Z demographics<\/a>, banks must also align with their expectations. These digital natives demand choice, speed, and seamless experiences across digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it critical for financial institutions to communicate the operational benefits of business credit cards on public-facing websites. However, given that many of these customers are already within their ecosystem, banks should rethink how they deliver messaging within authenticated digital experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of banks know who the businesses are that are operating on personal accounts. They can see volumes or if they’re sending certain types of payments, so it\u2019s using the authenticated environment to sell the upgrade as well,\u201d Benton said. \u201cFor instance, I’m a personal banking customer of Bank of America and they have an inline advertisement saying, \u2018Would you like to open a business credit card or a business account?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s little nudges like that, or maybe even a bit more,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s saying, \u2018Separate your personal business finances with a business credit card,\u2019 and using the in-app or authenticated website environment where they’re already managing their personal finances\u2014and probably managing some business finances\u2014to help spur that upgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holding Within the Institution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Improving how business credit cards are positioned is increasingly important. The digital economy has expanded the range of options available to small business owners. While fintechs have long challenged banks in consumer banking, fewer players have focused on small business banking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, those fintechs operating in the corporate credit card space recognize that these products deliver far more than access to credit at competitive rates\u2014they are comprehensive financial management tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of those companies like Brex and Ramp are aimed at high-growth businesses; they want to be their corporate credit card as they grow,\u201d Benton said. \u201cIf you look at those websites, they’re selling operational benefits rather than financial benefits. It\u2019s about getting out in front of that and saying, \u2018We can help you as your business grows, and there’s also this benefit of holding all these things within the same institution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
