Corporate Charge or Credit Cards for SMBs

With Brex's meteoric rise from zero to $8B in just 4 years, there has been considerable attention to, and investment in business credit/charge cards (see definition below). The most recent example: Divvy's $2.5B exit to Bill.com less than 5 years after founding, a value increase of almost $50M per MONTH!

Below are the challenger SMB business credit/charge cards currently active in the United States.

*FAB SCORE:  The FAB score, Fintech Attention Barometer, is a proxy for the overall size of a private company since they typically do not release traditional metrics (# customers, deposits, AUM, etc). The score is based on VC funding, website traffic, mobile downloads, and the number of employees. It's a work in progress, so expect changes in the formula.

Definition: To qualify, challengers don't need to issue cards themselves or be regulated as a financial institution. Startups must focus on small-business charge/credit cards delivered digitally (rules out Wells Fargo, BofA, and the majority of traditional banks). We will include divisions of traditional FIs if they operate under a separate autonomous brand, such as American Express's Kabbage unit.
