Kodo card is issued in the name of your company. The repayments are made directly from your company’s account. You don’t need to stress about getting re-imbursements every month or before the end of the accounting year.
From an accounting and tax perspective, it’s prudent to keep your personal and business expenses separate. You don’t want to worry about proving later that the re-imbursement amount you received in your personal account is not taxable salary.
Also, using the Kodo card and making repayments on time will also help you build a good credit score for your business.
A debit card gives anyone carrying it, access to the entire cash balance in your company’s bank account. That’s why you typically have to make a special request to get a debit card at the time of opening your company’s bank account. Kodo cards provide additional security, personalized control over card spends and visibility into how your company money is being used.
Also, debit cards cannot be issued to multiple team members. Kodo allows you to easily issue multiple cards with set spend limits and monitor them in real time using it’s integrated expense management tool.
