What Does the Float Visa Card Do?
The Float Visa card is a prepaid business card provided by the Canadian Tech Startup Float Financial. Float Financial has created this card to help small businesses in Canada make corporate spending easier and more streamlined.
Float’s integrated spend management software allows the finance team to create physical and virtual cards that can be used by the team. These cards can have spend limits and can even be limited to purchases at a specific vendor.
The payment approval flow is seamless as it’s all done through the spend management software. No more expense reports and reimbursing employees for things they’ve paid for with their own cards.
Why We Love Float
Float is finally a modern corporate card in Canada. We love the flexibility and level of control that even small business owners can get using the integrated spend management software.
It also integrates with popular accounting software like Xero, QuickBooks and Netsuite to make the finance team’s lives much easier.
Float also offers a straightforward 1% cashback which can add up surprisingly quickly with business spending.
And as an incentive, they’re offering $250 cash back once you spend $1k within the first 180 days after signing up for Float.

With new businesses, it’s not always easy to get approved for a corporate card. Because Float is a pre-paid Visa, it’s easy to apply and get approved without credit history.
Use Cases for Float Card
Float’s corporate Visa card is a great option for any small business in Canada that needs a corporate card.
Replaces Expense Reports
It’s especially useful for businesses that use expense reports to reimburse employees for business expenses. The finance team can order physical cards for the staff or create virtual cards. Each card can have a specific credit or rules to make sure that purchases only happen when and where they should.
Early Stage Business
Float is a great choice for newly incorporated businesses. Because it’s a prepaid card, no credit history is required to be approved.
Foreign Currency Purchases
Float Visa has no added FX fees and they’ve also recently come out with a USD Visa which is great for those businesses that have a lot of USD purchases.
The Float team are dedicated to bringing Canadian business owners a modern card and are continuously improving their offering.
