What's the difference between central billing and individual billing for business credit cards?

Central billing and individual billing are two ways to bill a business for credit card use. Businesses usually issue cards to owners and employees.

Central billing

Individual billing

  • A business makes one monthly payment for all cardholders.
  • Charges and credits from all cards go to one main account.
  • The business receives one monthly statement. It shows all activity since the last billing period.
  • The business pays a separate bill for each cardholder.
  • Charges and credits stay with each individual card account.
  • The business receives a monthly statement for each card. Each statement shows the cardholder’s activity since the last billing period.
