Top Credit Card FAQs

How do I qualify for an RBC business or commercial credit card?

It depends on the type of RBC credit card, the program you apply for, and whether you’re an existing RBC client already. RBC offers credit cards for small, medium, or large businesses. To find the right credit card for your business needs, and the documentation required to be eligible, explore our business and commercial programs or use our Digital Business Tool to get a recommendation for your business.

Does a business or commercial credit card build my business credit score?

Yes, your business-related expenses, payments, and usage habits will help in building your business credit score for future financing needs.

Do I need a separate credit card for my business?

A business or commercial credit card dedicated to your business needs is a great idea. Depending on the credit card and program selected, a business or commercial credit card offers numerous benefits such as:

Keeping track of business expenses and simplifying tax filing
Maximizing cash flow with an interest-free grace period (17 - 21 days depending on the type of credit card)
Building better relationships with suppliers by paying on time
Getting access to multiple credit cards for employees to help manage expenses and payments
Building your business credit score for future credit needs
Earning rewards with built-in programs such as Avion Rewards or Cash Back with eligible cards
Redeeming Avion points for personal use or reinvesting them back into the business.

Does a business or commercial credit card affect my personal credit score?

No, your business or commercial credit card will not affect your personal credit score. Your business credit score is built off the financial history of the business itself, not your personal spending habits. The business or commercial credit card should be registered under your business name for tax purposes as well as to build your business credit score.

Why should I get a credit card for my business?

Whether you’re a start-up or an established business, you’ll need to manage cash flow, pay suppliers, track business expenses, and more. A business or commercial credit card gives you access to business-specific benefits such as extended days payable, simplified reporting and controls, and accelerated rewards, all while building credit for future borrowing needs. Compare some of the business and commercial credit cards RBC has to offer, or explore our business advice section to get solutions and savings that can help your business thrive.

Can I use my personal RBC credit card for business expenses?

Yes, you can use your RBC personal credit card for business expenses, but a business credit card will simplify tracking your business expenses, making payments, managing cardholders and filing taxes. A business credit card is also essential for building credit for your business, which can help you access business loans in the future. Plus, with many of our RBC business or commercial credit cards, you could benefit from the Liability Waiver Program, which protects businesses against certain unauthorized charges that may be made by employee cardholders.
