Our verdict

Teampay suits companies that want tight control over staff spending, and it charges a monthly fee of $0 with an annual fee of $0 for a credit card. The trade-off is scope: the audience is business and the card type is virtual, so it is built for company expenses.

  • Virtual and physical card issuance, with instant freezing or cancelling of a card
  • Built-in spend controls by employee, department, vendor or category
  • Works with existing AMEX cards, and no migration is required

Cons

  • The rewards type is none, so there is nothing back on everyday spend

Scored 9.0 / 10 by DebitCue.

Who it suits

  • Finance teams that issue cards to employees and need limits by department or vendor
  • Businesses already spending on AMEX cards that want controls without migrating
  • Businesses whose books run in software covered by the native ERP sync in Virtual and physical card issuance, Instant card issuance and Built in spend controls by employee, department, vendor or category

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone wanting a personal current account for everyday money, where Monzo Flex or HSBC UK Classic Credit Card serve that need
  • Spenders chasing cashback or points, because the rewards type here is none, and HSBC UK Classic Credit Card is worth a look
  • Anyone after a multi-currency setup for their own money, where Wise is the account to compare

The company behind it

Teampay is run by Paystand, Inc., based in the US and founded in 2013. The service is aimed squarely at the business side of spending, which shapes what the cards are for. Anyone reaching the company can get help through phone and help centre, so a phone line and a help centre sit behind the account.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Teampay card cost to run?+

There is a monthly fee of $0 and an annual fee of $0, so the cards cost nothing to hold for a business account. Fees sit at the lower end of the listings, where monthly fees run €0 to €99. That keeps the cost of rolling out cards to staff down.

Is Teampay aimed at personal or business money?+

Its stated audience is business. Spend controls run by employee, department, vendor or category sit on the card, so the account is set up to run company expenses. Card requests and approvals are handled in Slack and Microsoft Teams, which suits an office rather than household budgeting.

What kind of card does Teampay issue?+

The card type is virtual and the card kind is credit. Cards can be issued instantly, both virtually and physically, so staff can start spending straight away. A physical card is available from the same account as the virtual one.

Can I freeze a card quickly?+

Yes. A card can be frozen or cancelled instantly, and with a card type of virtual the freeze applies to the card in use. Real-time transaction tracking shows each charge as it happens, which helps when a card is used outside the finance team.

Does issuing cards affect staff credit files?+

The listed benefit is no personal credit impact, so cards can be issued to staff without touching their own credit files. The card kind is credit, and the monthly fee of $0 sits with the company that issues them.

Does Teampay earn anything back on spend?+

The rewards type is none, so there is nothing back on what staff spend. Among the cards listed, 49.5% is the most common rewards type, so a cashback card is the route for anyone who wants a share of spending returned.

Does it work with accounting software already in place?+

The listed perks cover native ERP sync, with NetSuite and QuickBooks Online among the supported systems, so expenses can flow into the books without rekeying. Card requests and approvals also run in Slack and Microsoft Teams, and the monthly fee of $0 keeps the cost of adding a card layer low.

Do existing company cards have to be replaced?+

No migration is required, and it works with existing AMEX cards, so a company can add Teampay controls to current spending. The model is no annual fee and the monthly fee is $0, which keeps the cost side of a rollout simple too.

How do I get help when something goes wrong?+

Support runs through phone and help centre, which covers a phone line and a help centre. Help centres are the most common support route among the listings, appearing on 75.6% of them, so a finance team can call or read up in its own time.
