FAQs

You are eligible for a Capital on Tap Business Credit Card if:

  • You are an active director of the company or majority shareholder of 25%+ ownership. If neither of these titles matches your role within the company we will unfortunately not be able to accept your application.
  • You and your business are based in the US.
  • Your business has annual revenue of at least $30,000.
  • If you answered yes to all the above, click here to complete an application.

With the outbreak of Coronavirus, we understand that some purchases related to events or travel have been impacted.

There may be occasions when we can recover funds by raising a dispute if:
the Merchant is unable to provide you with the goods/ services for which you have paid with your Capital on Tap card; and/or the Merchant is unwilling to assist you and/or refused to issue a refund.

Should the above be the case, we will dispute the transaction(s) accordingly, but the outcome of the dispute will depend on the circumstances and the reasons for the dispute.

Am I eligible to dispute a travel-related transaction?

If you cancel your trip prior to being advised by the Merchant to do so and the Merchant is still willing and able to provide the service, it is unlikely that you will have valid grounds for a dispute. This may even be the case if the Government advice recommends against travel (subject to certain criteria to be met)

If the Merchant cancelled your trip and is refusing to refund you, and/or assist otherwise, we may be able to recover your funds, subject to written evidence to support your claim.


Will I be covered for any consequential losses?

We can only attempt to recover specific transactions which were made using your Capital on Tap card, subject to the evidence provided by you, as well as the circumstances under which you are raising the dispute.
Will I get my funds back straight away?

A dispute can take up to a month, in some circumstances even longer; however, dependent on the nature of the claim, the dispute may take two weeks or less to resolve. In some instances, the Merchants may challenge yours and our reasons for the dispute, which can extend the resolution date. In any event, we will keep you informed and reach out to you for more information if necessary

We will refund you upon successful completion of your dispute and it is imperative that you continue making at least minimum monthly payments to your account whilst the dispute is ongoing. The refund will be inclusive of any associated interest fees if any were charged on the disputed amount(s).


Do I need to do anything first?

You must attempt to resolve the issue with the Merchant first (written evidence will make your case stronger) and if the Merchant is refusing to assist, and/or disregarding your attempts to resolve, please forward all correspondence onto us;

(travel-related) IF your booking/purchase was ATOL protected, please contact ATOL. If ATOL are unable to assist you, please send us written evidence of this;


IF your booking/purchase was insured, please contact your Insurer first. If your Insurer is unable to assist you, please send us written evidence of this.


I think I have grounds to request a transaction dispute, what should I do next?

Please contact our Disputes Team at disputes@capitalontap.com, by providing all of the below (COPIES only where applicable):

  • Transaction Details:
  • The date of the transaction;
  • The name of the Merchant;
  • The amount(s);
  • Original invoices / receipts / e-mails / booking confirmations / etc;
  • How much you are disputing (full or partial amounts);
  • A detailed description of what has been purchased (i.e., flights only, accommodation only, flights and accommodation, some activities to do whilst at the destination, etc);
  • An explanation of why you feel you have grounds to dispute the transaction(s) (i.e., a timeline of events leading up to a dispute, supported by written evidence where applicable);
  • Any other evidence you deem supportive of your dispute.

The daily withdrawal limit is 2 transactions, with a maximum cumulative value of $400.

We do have some restricted merchant categories that we cannot authorise due to the nature of funding that we provide (for businesses).

We currently don’t support spending at a small number of merchant categories in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. Examples include gambling-related activities, securities brokerage services, fines, wire-transfers and purchasing foreign currency. Thank you for your understanding.

You are able to set spending limits on all employee cards (via the 'Cards' page in your portal). Currently, we’re unable to block ATM transactions on your cards.

We can cancel a specific upcoming payment up until two business days prior to the payment due date. If you are trying to cancel a payment within two business days of your due date, we will be unable to cancel it for you. However, you will be able to give your bank a quick call and ask for this to be cancelled. Please specify that you wish to cancel this payment only and not the whole mandate.

We do not currently have the option to update payment due dates, however, this is something we want to introduce in the near future.

Capital on Tap will begin assessing late fees from 09/01/2022.

 

How much is a late fee?

$29

 

When will a late fee be assessed?

If a payment isn’t received within the 10 day courtesy period after your monthly due date. For example, if your monthly due date is 9/10/2022, and you make your payment 9/17/2022, you will not be assessed a late fee.

However, if you make the payment on 9/21/2022, you will be assessed a $29 late fee, as the payment was received outside of the 10 day courtesy period.

This will be applied to every payment that is missed.

 

Will I still be assessed a late fee if I am on a payment plan or arrangement?

Yes, if your payment is not received within the 10 day courtesy period after your payment plan due date, you will be assessed a late fee.

 

What is a courtesy period?

A 10 day period after your minimum payment is due, that you will not be assessed a late fee. It is a courtesy period and not a grace as interest will still accrue.

 

Will I be assessed a fee for setting up a payment?

Currently, we do not assess payment processing fees, although this may be subject to change at a later date.

You have three payment options which you can update each month to suit your preferences. You can select a Monthly Minimum, Fixed Amount, or Full Balance payment option. The exact amount will vary month on month depending on your outstanding balance. In the event that your balance is less than the minimum monthly amount, your full outstanding balance will be taken.

You can also pay at any time by making a debit card payment on the 'Payments' page of your account.

You can view your current PIN on your portal at any time. Simply sign into your account, head to the Cards page and click 'View PIN'.

You should only borrow money that you feel you can comfortably pay back. We don't like charging late fees and recommend you contact us on 833-972-1323 if you think you might not be able to make a scheduled payment. In the event we can't reach you, your account may incur additional charges for late payment as outlined in your funding agreement.

Log in to your Capital on Tap account and visit the Cards page to activate your card. On this page, you'll also be able to view your PIN and request additional cards.

If you have received a card for your employee, please give this card to them to activate.

They will have their own online portal where they can log in and activate their card. Once activated, they will be able to view their own transactions and track their spending.

Pending payments are payments that we have authorized on our side but that have not yet been authorized by the merchant. If the merchant does not authorize the payment the funds should automatically be returned to your account after 7-30 days.

The one-page application will ask for basic business and personal information. Once you’re signed up, the business compliance team will check that your business complies with regulatory requirements. If all conditions are met, we will send you your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card.

In some circumstances, we may require further information on your business such as business trading activity or the names and address of any additional business owners. We will contact you within one business day via email if this is the case and inform you of any requirements in order to complete your application.

Your billing address is the business address registered to your Capital on Tap account.

In case it has been more than 7 business days since you requested the refund, please do give us a call on 833-972-1323. Thank you very much for your patience!

There is no fee for exceeding your approval amount, however, you will no longer have available funds to spend once you have exceeded your limit. In order to increase your available funds again, please make a debit card payment to reduce your outstanding balance back below your limit. Alternatively, you can wait for your next monthly payment to be taken by ACH.

We will email your statements each month, on the day after your billing period ends. You can also access these at any time via your portal.

1. Have you recently set up or cancelled your Direct Debit/ACH Authorization?

If you have recently changed your payment details, please wait for your bank to confirm the new mandate, which should take no longer than 24 hours.

We may occasionally restrict spend on your card where we believe doing so would protect you from unauthorized usage, or would be necessary for compliance with our regulatory obligations.

If your application for credit was declined, you can request a statement of specific reasons within 60 days from when the notice of decline was provided.

If your existing account was declined following a review, the statement of reasons was provided to you in the email informing you of your account closure.

We are unable to provide any additional clarification or detail on the reasons provided to you within the email, as the factors noted were used to make our decision

You can read our blog with more information on the topic here.

If your limit was reduced following a review of your existing account, the reasons for this will have been provided to you within the email informing you of the reduction.

We are unable to provide any additional clarification or detail on the reasons provided to you within the email, as the factors noted were used to make our decision.

You can read our blog with more information on the topic here.

A payment arrangement can be made to provide support when you are struggling to afford your contractual payments.

Payment arrangements can help to break your payments up into manageable amounts for a specific period of time. This can help you bring your account current or pay off your balance.

It’s important to know that payment arrangements will not protect you from all of the possible consequences associated with being late or missing payments. However, having an arrangement in place is better than simply missing your due date without communication, as it can help avoid late fees and sale of your account to a third party.

Please also be aware that being delinquent increases your chances of having your limit reduced, or even having your account fully terminated with no further access to funds. It is therefore recommended that you keep up with your contractual payments if you can afford to do so.

It is possible that the card or funding eligibility criteria has changed over time, which could result in a change to the credit limit provided to your business. Your account activity will also factor into the decision made, which includes spend behavior and payments made. This could mean that you are now either eligible for a higher limit, a reduced limit, or you may no longer be eligible at all. 

Read our blog here, with more helpful information on what to do after you’ve been declined for credit, or had your limit reduced.

I was declined, or my limit was reduced - can this decision be reconsidered?

The decision can only be reconsidered if you have explicitly been given an option for reconsideration, within the email informing you of your decline.

If you have not been provided the option for reconsideration, you are able to reapply 6 months after the notification of your decline. However, any outstanding balance must be first paid in full before a new application is made.

If your limit has been reduced, your decrease won’t be reconsidered. However, your credit performance will continue to be monitored and your limit could be increased in future. You will be notified if your limit is increased.

Read our blog here, with more helpful information on what to do after you’ve been declined for credit, or had your limit reduced.

No. You will not be reported as over your credit limit if your limit was higher at the time when you were spending on your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card.

Yes. While you still have an outstanding balance, the amount can accrue interest. However,  if you pay your balance in full on your due date, your card balance will be interest-free!

Read our blog here, with more helpful information on what to do after you’ve been declined for credit.

You will continue to see your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card on your credit report while you have an outstanding balance, even if you no longer have access to funds. Once your balance is paid in full and your account is closed, it will be reported as such.

Read our blog here, with more helpful information on what to do after you’ve been declined for credit.

We are sorry to hear that you are looking to close your account, and would love to receive some feedback on what has led to your decision. To close your account please email or call us to begin this process. While we can initiate account closure, accounts with outstanding balances must be paid in full before the closure process can be finalized, and your account will be suspended during this period . Remember, there are no fees to keep your Capital on Tap Business Credit Card account open if you have a zero balance. Please note: once the account closure process has begun, we are not able to stop this.
