  • Your company credit card is a true all-in-one solution and offers versatile use cases – both on business trips and in everyday office life.

  • It provides full transparency and reduces manual work – because expenses can be processed directly in Circula.

  • No additional costs for extra cards: your Circula Admin can issue as many credit cards as employees need.

The examples are based on the merchants that our credit card users currently use most frequently (as of August 2025).
