Different payment options

There are 2 options for paying your credit card balance. Choose the one that works best for your business.4

Centralized payments

Make a single payment each month to your business's main Desjardins credit card account (master account). This single payment will pay off your card and all other cards associated with your master account at the same time. 

Decentralized payments 

Pay the balance of each card associated with your master account separately. This frees up each card's credit limit as soon as the payment is processed.

Additional features and options

21 days to pay off your balance without incurring interest, except on cash advances.
Visa Account Updater service to help you avoid declined payments due to expired card information. When you get a new card, this service automatically sends your updated card number and expiration date to merchants you have a pre-authorized payment agreement with. Check with these merchants to see if they offer this service.
Visa Spend Clarity for Enterprise gives you access to free basic management reports. This service helps you manage your business's spending by integrating data into your accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
