How to Apply for the First State Bank Visa Business Bonus Rewards/Rewards PLUS Card

If you are looking for a First State Bank business credit card, you may be interested in applying for the First State Bank Visa Business Bonus Rewards or Bonus Rewards PLUS Card. Both options come with a reasonable APR (which will be assigned based on your credit score) and a fairly standard rewards program. The principal difference between these two credit cards is that the Bonus Rewards option has no annual fee, whereas the Bonus Rewards PLUS card has an annual fee of $50. Both cards will earn you 1 point for every dollar you spend plus either 25% or 50% bonus on all points earned every month (for Bonus Rewards or Bonus Rewards PLUS respectively). As signup benefits, new cardholders will receive bonus rewards points after their first purchases and a 0% APR for the first 6 billing cycles on purchases and balance transfers. If either of these credit cards are of interest to you, scroll down and follow our guide through the various steps of the online application process.

Before submitting your application, we recommend that you take a look at the EFS privacy policy (EFS is the card-issuing financial institution for this credit card).
