Incard vs Soldo: which is better for company cards?

Soldo sells prepaid company cards and budget wallets that sit alongside your bank account, from £27 a month plus VAT with no free plan. Incard is a business account with team cards on a £0 plan, GBP, EUR and USD IBANs and uncapped cashback on eligible card spend. Soldo doesn't list cashback.

By the editorial team. How we make money.

Quick verdict

Incard suits you if

  • You want team cards without a monthly fee
  • You want your team's ads, software and travel spend to earn cashback
  • You want a full account with IBANs, not cards topped up from another account
  • You're a sole trader, which Soldo says it can't currently accept

Soldo suits you if

  • You want prepaid staff cards alongside your existing business bank account
  • You want separate wallets for team budgets in GBP, EUR or USD
  • You want to set card rules and limits before money is spent

What a year of card spending earns you

Incard Free against Soldo Standard, at your monthly spend on ads, software and travel.

  • Incard Free: £600 cashback, £0 fees
  • Soldo Standard: no cashback, £324 fees

Simple arithmetic, not a forecast: 1% on eligible ads, software and travel spend at merchants on Incard's eligible brand list, and each plan's published monthly fee. Other fees, such as FX and ATM charges, aren't included. Soldo Standard is £27 a month plus VAT; we've used £27. Soldo doesn't list cashback.

Account or add-on

Soldo describes itself as working alongside your business bank account rather than replacing it: you load money into Soldo wallets and spend from prepaid Mastercard cards. Withdrawing your balance back to your bank costs £20 by Faster Payments.

Incard is a business account in its own right, with GBP, EUR and USD IBANs, local and international transfers and team cards. You can use it as your only account, or next to a bank for reserves.

What it costs

Cashback: only Incard pays it

Soldo doesn't list cashback. Incard pays 1% on advertising, recurring software and travel and 0.5% on other eligible spend on Free, uncapped. If your team puts £5,000 a month on ads and software, that's about £600 a year back on Incard, against £324 a year in plan fees on Soldo Standard before VAT. Simple arithmetic, not a forecast; see which brands count.

Protection and eligibility

Both are FCA-authorised e-money institutions that safeguard your money, and neither is covered by the FSCS. Soldo accepts incorporated businesses only and says it can't currently accept sole traders. Incard accepts UK limited companies, LLPs and sole traders, and Swiss GmbH, AG and sole-trader businesses.

Incard isn't the right account if

  • Your business is registered outside the UK and Switzerland. EEA onboarding is paused until an expected restart in 2027
  • You're a charity, cooperative, foundation, trust or public body, or work in one of Incard's restricted industries

Our verdict

Incard gives you team cards, IBANs and cashback on a £0 plan, so for most small teams it costs less and pays back more. Soldo is the better fit if you want strict prepaid budgets in separate wallets and are happy to keep your main account elsewhere.
