Business credit card How to add credit cards for your team.

As account administrator, you can designate your partners and trusted team members as authorized users or employees, and issue each a physical and virtual credit card.

How issuing credit cards to your team
can benefit your business.

If you’re the administrator, you can issue both a virtual and physical credit card to each authorized user or employee on your Bluevine account. This can help your business streamline expense management, plus give your team more spending power with enhanced security and fraud protection.

Understanding roles and permissions.

Each role has different permissions to give you the flexibility you need to share account access with your team while keeping important financial information secure.

What can authorized users do with credit card access?

Your authorized users will be able to make payments toward the account balance and see all transactions made on your Bluevine credit card account. Authorized users are also able to send, schedule, and approve payments from your Bluevine Business Checking account. Administrators can edit these payment permissions at any time.

What can employees do with credit card access?

The employee role is different from an authorized user in that its account permissions are more limited. You can issue an employee a physical and virtual card that they can use to make purchases—while earning 1.5% cash back—and you can set user-specific spending limits. However, employees can only see their own card details and transaction information in their dashboard. Because of this, employees are not able to make payments toward your account balance.
