Scotiabank offers banking solutions for small businesses, the self-employed and professionals. In this article, we explore Scotiabank’s 4 business credit cards and their key benefits.

Scotia Business Card - Who are business cards for?

In many cases, small business owners and the self-employed use their personal credit cards for business expenses. Not only can it be difficult to separate business expenses from personal expenses at the end of the year, but business benefits are being overlooked.

Scotiabank cards are different from many business cards, which are often reserved for large corporations. They are aimed at small businesses, the self-employed and professionals.

On the Scotiabank website, you can use a “Small Business Solutions Builder” to find the products and services that meet your business needs.
