Small Businesses require a different financing structure than the general consumer, so a majority of banking institutes offer additional services and rewards for Businesses that have a higher monthly spend.
But how does a business pick the right package with the right rewards? AMEX Open has provided a few simple questions regarding use and expected rewards to provide Small Business Customers the right credit cards for their spending needs.
Key Points:
- Simple and intuitive to use.
- Ability to proceed to next screen available after current selection is processed.
- Descriptions of additional service offered are available during the process.
- Final recommendations provided with a link to the cards page that provides additional information and tools.
Accessing the Tool
The Small Business landing page offers a sub-menu with a drop down regarding help selecting a card, from here users are able to select the card finder or access a ratings and reviews section.
At the end of the questions, the recommendation is displayed with a link to the cards landing page, which provides additional details along with instructions on how to apply. Ratings and reviews are also provided at the bottom of this page which are provided by customers who are registered with their card details on the site.
Some of the additional tools on offer allow for an estimate of the rewards such as the Starpoints calculator which uses potential monthly spend to estimate yearly points earned. Along with this, a list of redeemable gifts is available with an example of how many points are required. This allows Small Businesses to really see what rewards are possible with their monthly spend.
Overall the service allows for simple access to information that is important to the business, but some businesses may find themselves trying the tool multiple times to see the different offers available, and as such, will visit a majority of the card pages. With direct access to apply, the buyflow becomes seamless and with great ease to use and detailed information, Small Businesses are left with all the knowledge required to proceed to the application section.
