We announced the Stripe Corporate Card today: https://stripe.com/corporate-card I'm quite enthusiastic and have some observations in my personal capacity, as an entrepreneur and credit card geek.

We also have an option where you can Plaid into your business bank account, and then we math out how much credit we can extend that business, based on demonstrated cash flows.

As much as I love credit card rewards and maximizing for them, this is *almost never* the best use of founder brainsweat. You should be building things or talking to customers. So we made the card optimize itself rather than having a complicated point system.

It picks your top two categories monthly and rewards 2% cash back; everything else gets 1%. You can have any reward you want, as long as it is an automatically applied statement credit.

To sweeten the deal, we added a fee waiver for $50k of Stripe processing volume (after you spend $5k on the card), and a number of other startup-supporting companies threw something into the pot.

This prominently includes AWS, which will give you $5k of credits if you sign up for the card. If you use AWS, this is a *screamingly* good deal. (Their standard promotional terms apply, including eventual expiry. c.f. https://aws.amazon.com/awscredits/ )

There are also some niceties about having your logo on it, expense management (including a very slick SMS-powered interface), virtual cards, etc etc, but the above is what was most interesting to me personally.

The Corporate Card, and our Capital launch earlier , are just a few of the ways that we hope to start fixing business' money challenges in addition to handling revenue. If you've got ideas for things that would help you, let us know.
