Payments

Informed customers are empowered customers. That’s why we’ve prepared this material to give you more details about how our prepaid business debit cards, issued in EUR, work and how you can use them to the best of your business’s advantage.

How Prepaid Business Cards Work

A prepaid business card is a type of debit card that works on a simple principle: you can only spend the money you’ve loaded onto it. Unlike a credit card, there’s no credit line, so you can’t run up debt or spend more than you’ve allocated. This built-in control gives you full visibility and authority over your budget, ensuring you and your employees never exceed a pre-set limit. It’s the ideal solution for businesses that want to delegate spending power while eliminating the risks of overspending and fraud.

Wallter prepaid business cards function on the Mastercard network, meaning they’re accepted at millions of locations worldwide, both online and in person. You simply top up the card with funds from your main Wallter account, and you’re ready to go.

Let’s look closer at Wallter prepaid business cards to see why they’re the perfect fit for your company.
