Corporate card vs business credit card

Four axes, not one name

Compare liability, underwriting input, administration and repayment rhythm. If a table collapses those into a single “best card” score, it is not a comparison.

• Liability — company vs owner.
• Underwriting — company cash/financials vs personal credit.
• Administration — many employee cards vs a handful of authorised users.
• Settlement — pay in full vs revolve.

Why the distinction changes who is liable

Corporate programmes put the entity on the hook. Business credit cards often put an owner on the hook via guarantee even when the card is used only for the company. That is not a wording preference; it is a personal balance-sheet event if the company fails.

How this maps onto Brex phrasing

Brex Card, Brex Corporate Card and Brex Business Credit Card are documented as one commercial family on this site, with the phrases pointing at liability and settlement questions rather than at three SKUs. Always confirm in the programme agreement.
