How to Apply for the National Bank Platinum Business MasterCard

The National Bank Platinum Business MasterCard is a fairly standard credit option that has a few perks to entice business owners. When compared to the standard National Bank Business MasterCard, you will notice that the platinum edition has a rewards program that will enable you to earn 1.5 points for every dollar spent (as opposed to 1 point/$1 spent). These points can be redeemed and put towards hotel rooms, flights, car rentals, and a variety of other forms of merchandise and entertainment. You will also receive a rebate of up to 2.5% each time you use your MasterCard at Ultramar gas stations. On the down side, this card has an annual fee of $125, which is the highest among all of the business cards available from National Bank. However, with an APR of 19.99% (APR is subject to change) and a few benefits to make up for the high annual fee, this card is definitely worth looking into. Scroll down to our tutorial below to learn how you can apply.
