Bluevine Adds Mastercard-Powered Small Business Credit Card to the Arsenal of Tools Available on its Banking Platform

Bluevine Business Cashback Mastercard® Fully Integrates with Bluevine Business Checking for Seamless Cash Flow Management and Access to Capital to Fuel Business Growth

JERSEY CITY, N.J.--()--Bluevine, the banking platform that serves as the financial operating system for startups and small businesses, today announced the general availability of the Bluevine Business Cashback Mastercard®1, which offers small business owners essential access to working capital along with an expansive menu of business tools, merchant discounts, and services to help boost productivity, reach new customers, protect your business, and better manage travel and expenses. In addition to earning unlimited 1.5% cash back on all business purchases with no annual fee2, Bluevine Business Cashback Mastercard cardholders can also strengthen overall cash flow management with access to both their card and Bluevine Business Checking account from a single dashboard.

“Today, many business credit cards and corporate expense cards are designed for large companies. Small business owners often resort to using their personal cards, which can be problematic for managing expenses and accurately forecasting their financials since business and personal spending are blended,” explained Aditya Narula, SVP and GM of Lending and Credit at Bluevine. “Bluevine worked closely with Mastercard to introduce a card that is truly intended for the needs of small businesses, along with all of the perks and benefits that can help them save, earn, and grow.”

“The need to support small businesses – and the communities behind them – is as critical as ever,” said Ginger Siegel, North America Small Business Lead for Mastercard. “We’re delighted to be working with Bluevine to enhance access to working capital through the Bluevine Business Cashback Mastercard and provide vital resources like our Digital Doors toolkit and other tools to enhance operational efficiency and accelerate growth in the digital economy.”

All Bluevine Business Cashback Mastercard cardholders will have access to features and benefits specifically designed to help small businesses achieve their goals and drive growth, including a Bluevine Business checking account and additional Mastercard perks and resources, such as:
