Card comparisons

No-annual-fee business cards compared

This page gathers the business cards with no annual fee that are open to new applicants, sorted alphabetically. Each one lists a personal guarantee as standard; check the card's terms for what that commits you to. Two approaches show up: category earn with caps, which pays more where a business concentrates its spending, and flat earn that treats purchases alike, though one flat card caps its higher rate each year. All of them charge a foreign transaction fee, so plan on another card for purchases abroad.

Not a ranking. This list comes from our card data criteria: business cards open to new applicants with a $0 annual fee band. Cards are listed alphabetically by name. Card details last reviewed October 2, 2026. Confirm everything on the issuer site. Our editorial policy.

Advertising disclosure: We may earn a commission from some links on this site, but the card links here currently go straight to issuer sites (no affiliate links). We aim to recommend products based on fit for common spending patterns and responsible use—not solely on payout size. Affiliate disclosure.
