“Most vendors don’t accept cards. That used to mean draining your bank account. Now it doesn’t have to.”
Your Cash Flow Suffers Because Your Vendors Won’t Take a Card
A business credit card with available credit sitting right there. However, a vendor only takes checks. Furthermore, the landlord demands ACH while a contractor wants a wire. Consequently, the bank account is drained – even when client invoices haven’t cleared.
This is the cash flow gap, and it’s one of the top financial stressors for small and mid-sized businesses in America.
Client invoices are late but your vendor’s due date is today
Payroll is Friday and your receivables haven’t hit yet
A surprise expense hits and you’re watching your balance drop
Credit card rewards go to waste because you can’t use the card anywhere that matters
The answer isn’t more money. It’s more flexibility in how you move the money you already have access to.
First, you charge your business credit card. We deliver funds to your vendor as a mailed check, ACH, or wire – exactly how they expect to be paid.
Consequently, your vendor never knows a card was involved. You keep your cash. You earn rewards. Finally, you pay your card bill 30-45 days later.
Every Business Payment. One Credit Card.
Use your business credit card to fund any of these payment types – your vendors receive funds exactly how they’ve always expected.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I pay a vendor by credit card if they don't accept cards?
Yes - this is exactly what OnlineCheckWriter.com is built for. You charge your business credit card for the payment amount. We deliver the funds to your vendor as a mailed check, ACH transfer, or domestic wire - whichever they prefer. Your vendor never needs to accept a card, create an account, or change a single thing about how they receive payments.
Can I run payroll using a business credit card?
Yes. Fund your payroll batch using your business credit card. Your employees receive direct deposits via ACH as normal. You pay the credit card balance when your billing cycle closes - typically 30 to 45 days later - giving you the float you need to bridge temporary cash flow gaps without missing a payroll.
Will I earn credit card rewards when paying vendors this way?
In most cases, yes. Your card is charged as a standard purchase, so your card's reward program - cashback, miles, or points - typically applies. This means vendor payments, rent, and payroll can all generate rewards instead of just draining your account. Confirm with your specific card issuer, as terms vary by program.
How long does it take for my vendor to receive payment?
ACH payments arrive within 1–3 business days. Mailed checks via USPS arrive within 3–5 business days. Domestic wire transfers are same-day or next business day. Overnight check mailing via FedEx is available for urgent payments. You'll see an estimated delivery date before you confirm any payment.
What's the difference between a business credit card and an expense card?
A business credit card lets you borrow against a set limit and pay the balance later - giving you 30 to 45 days of float. An expense card (or business debit card) pulls from your checking account immediately. For managing vendor payments during cash flow gaps, credit cards offer significantly more flexibility - plus reward-earning potential that expense cards rarely match.
Is there a fee to pay vendors by credit card?
A standard processing fee applies to credit card-funded transactions, consistent with the industry. The 15-day free trial gives you full access with no upfront cost and no credit card required to sign up. Visit the pricing page on OnlineCheckWriter.com for current fee details.
