A corporate card is a payment card a company gives to its staff to pay for work costs such as travel, software and supplies. The company, not the employee, is responsible for what is spent.
Corporate vs business credit cards
Business credit cards are usually aimed at small firms and often need a director's personal guarantee. Corporate cards are typically for larger companies, where the firm itself is liable. Many newer providers offer prepaid or debit company cards instead, which spend only money already in the account.
