What is Ramp for Startups and Partner Rewards?

It is Ramp's corporate card, banking and spend software for startups, bundled with $350K+ in perks that include credits and discounts from partners such as AWS, Datadog, Notion, OpenAI, Google Cloud and Retool.

Does Ramp have a credit card for startups, and how do you get approved?

Ramp's corporate card is a charge card with 30-day payback. Ramp says there are no personal credit checks or personal guarantee, and the limit is based on financial factors such as revenue or dollars raised.

You apply in about two minutes and Ramp says a decision may take 1-2 business days. The card is subject to credit approval and is issued in the U.S. by Celtic Bank, or by Column N.A. to U.S. corporations operating globally.

Ramp also says its corporate credit cards have no annual fee and let you issue virtual or physical cards to any employee once the company is approved.

Is the Ramp startup credit card free?

Ramp's Free plan is $0 per user per month and includes unlimited cards. The Plus plan is $15 per user per month plus a platform fee based on team size, with 20% off on annual billing.

The Free plan also lists no fees, minimum deposits or transfer caps on the Ramp bank account.

Does Ramp offer startup banking?

Yes. Ramp offers a business checking account that pays up to 2% APY, plus an optional investment account. Ramp is a fintech company, not a bank, so deposits are held at First Internet Bank of Indiana.

The 2% APY is on eligible funds in the Ramp Checking Account and is variable: Ramp's page dates the rate and says it can change without notice. The investment account is not a bank deposit, is not FDIC-insured and may lose value.
