Login to your PayPal account and see if you get an invitation or offer for Working Capital \u2014 often eligibility is automatically evaluated, and they may show it to you as an option.  \n2. Check your account type, account age, and total PayPal sales over the past 12 months to make sure they meet the thresholds mentioned above.  \n3. Pay off any outstanding Working Capital loans if you want to apply again.  \n4. Confirm whether your state allows PayPal Working Capital.  \n\n---\n\nIf you share what state you're in and whether you're using a Premier or Business account (roughly how much you\u2019ve sold via PayPal last year), I can help figure out if *you specifically* are likely eligible \u2014 want me to check?"

I\u2019ll focus on what current users, analysts, and reviewers say.\n\n---\n\n## What Is Capital on Tap?\n\nCapital on Tap is a business credit card provider (also offering other financial services) targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They operate in the UK (their primary market) and have a presence in the U.S. Cotap\u2019s card aims to simplify business spending with perks like cashback, virtual cards, integrations, and relatively high credit limits. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Key Features and Costs\n\nHere are the main characteristics of the Cotap business credit card in the UK, along with associated costs:\n\n| Feature | What You Get |\n|---------|----------------|\n| **Cashback / Rewards** | **1% cashback on all business spending** with the standard card. Optionally, when you \u201cpreload\u201d the card on the Pro plan, cashback rises to **1.25%**. Points can be converted to Avios at no extra charge. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Annual Fee** | **No annual fee** for the standard card. The Pro version costs **\u00a3299/year** and offers perks like airport lounge access and VIP status. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Credit Limit** | Substantial: up to **\u00a3250,000** in some cases, depending on business finances and creditworthiness. ([perkledger.com](https://perkledger.com/tool/capital-on-tap/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Foreign / FX / ATM Fees** | No foreign transaction fees; no ATM fees for withdrawals. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **APR (Interest Rate)** | Variable APR. In the UK, standard plans might see representative APRs around **34.96%** (variable) for regular use. Pro plan rates can be significantly higher. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Other Perks** | Virtual cards, additional employee cards for free, app-based spend tracking, integrations with accounting tools (e.g. Sage, Xero). ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## Pros & Cons: What Users and Experts Are Saying\n\n**What people generally like:**\n\n- **Simple, no-frills rewards system** \u2014 You earn 1% (or more on Pro) on all spending, uncomplicated by rotating categories. ([bankrate.com](https://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-business-card/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Strong app and tech features** \u2014 Virtual cards, syncing with accounting software, easy expense tracking. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **High credit limits** for a lot of business credit cards. For businesses with strong financials or history, Cotap is generous. ([perkledger.com](https://perkledger.com/tool/capital-on-tap/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **No foreign fees** \u2014 Good if you travel or have suppliers overseas. ([businessexpert.co.uk](https://www.businessexpert.co.uk/credit-cards/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n**What people warn about:**\n\n- **Very high interest rates** if you carry a balance: APRs can be quite steep. If you regularly revolve debt, these costs can outweigh the benefits. ([bankrate.com](https://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-business-card/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Eligibility limitations** \u2014 In the UK, must be a Limited Company or LLP (registered at Companies House). There may also be minimum turnover requirements. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Pro version is pricey** \u2014 With an annual fee of \u00a3299, you need to use the perks enough to make it worthwhile. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Lack of certain legal protections** \u2014 In the UK, Cotap\u2019s business cards typically aren\u2019t covered by Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, which offers protections for consumers/casual spenders. Business cards aren\u2019t always afforded the same level of protection. ([forbes.com](https://www.forbes.com/advisor/uk/credit-cards/reviews/capital-on-tap-review/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Is It Value for Money?\n\nWhether Cotap is \u201cvalue for money\u201d depends mostly on how you use it and what your spending profile looks like. Here are some scenarios:\n\n| Scenario | Likely Good Value? |\n|----------|----------------------|\n| You pay off the full balance every month, spend regularly, want simple cashback, minimal fees | **Yes**. You\u2019ll avoid interest, get 1% cash back, and benefit from integrations, no foreign fees, etc. |\n| You spend a lot, travel internationally, use \u201cpreload\u201d and Singapore perks, so Pro features matter to you | **Potentially yes**, but you\u2019ll need to get enough return from those perks (e.g., lounge access, higher cashback via preload) to cover the \u00a3299 fee. |\n| You carry a balance often, interest compounds, or aren\u2019t using the benefits like lounges or Avios | **Likely no** \u2014 the high APRs can negate cashback benefits quickly. |\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can also compare Cotap against similar business credit cards or working capital products in your region (US or UK) to see whether there are better options tailored to your situation. Do you want me to pull those comparisons?"
