Our company Moonlight was an early beta tester of the Stripe Corporate Card. Each person on our distributed team of five has a card, and it's made things like arranging travel or covering minor SaaS charges simple.

Happy to answer any questions about the end user experience!

Thank you for being such amazing beta testers! Glad to have started with Checkout, met in the TOMS store in LA, and now on Corporate Card. :)

I'll be at Sessions today if you want to catch up!

Unfortunately will be watching live from the office, but you should say hi to Cristina!

Is this card tied to an individual or the company? We use Amex and it's tied to individuals so when that person leaves we have to do the dance of migrating the payment to another person. Can we avoid that w/ stripe?

You can have named users or you can have (conceptually) a role account, like saas_subscriptions@example.com.

We recommend businesses set up the latter for recurring purchases on e.g. infrastructure that aren't tied to a particular person, for the same reasons that you don't want your logins for all of your SaaS or infrastructure to be under individuals' email addresses.

Oh, I didn't know this. Cool!

That feels like a headline feature - cards not being tied to specific humans at the org is great for the (SaaS/IaaS/Cloud) reasons above.

The 1:1 person:credit-card mapping for those without invoice billing will continue to cause chaos for smaller orgs when people leave or cards are lost.

We love working with you. <3

Thanks for listening to and acting on our feedback!

Does the card need a personal guarantee for each holder?

(I work on Corporate Card)

It does not for anyone!

Thank you. And who sets limits? Is it Stripe or the company?

Stripe sets a limit for the company, then you can see limits for individual users

How does the card validation work? Do most payment processors accept it?

Ah, it seems to be based on Visa.

It's just a standard Visa card with chip+signature and contactless. It works everywhere I've tried it!
