A Credit Card for Entrepreneurs A credit card with a CZK credit limit is designed for entrepreneurs who always want to have a financial reserve at hand, regardless of the balance of their business account. The most advantageous use is for payments for the goods and services of your business partners, but with it you can also make cash withdrawals from ATMs and from bank branches in the Czech Republic and abroad, make payments when purchasing foreign currencies at exchange bureaus, pay via the Internet, and transfer money through electronic banking to current accounts maintained at ČSOB.

Advantages

The card offers money immediately, without having to save up for a long time. The credit limit can be up to CZK 500,000. The money is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, anywhere, and at any time. You can have several credit cards with one credit limit. You can repay the amount drawn at any time, without a fee, even outside of the agreed payment date.

Other advantages include:

An interest-free period of up to 45 days;
You only need to pay 5 % of the amount drawn every month;
Your choice of the due date (between the 5th and 25th day of each month);
The possibility of setting up a direct debit for the repayment amount you choose.

When making arrangements to get the credit card, you can choose from one of the supplementary services, which we will arrange for you directly at the branch:

Insurance of payment card loss/theft;
Travel insurance with payment cards;
Legal protection insurance for motor vehicle drivers (D.A.S. insurance).
